Mastering the Rogue Flurry Build in Diablo 4 Endgame
Master the endgame of Diablo 4 with the Rogue's Flurry Build Boost your damage output with the right passive skills, gear, and aspects Dominate with the ultimate Paragon Board setup
The Flurry Skill of the Rogue class in Diablo 4 provides a unique melee experience compared to other skills. While it shares similarities with Twisting Blades in terms of hypermobile playstyle, the satisfaction of using Flurry is immediate as it deals damage instantly to any targets within range. While Flurry can be effective on its own, players will need to utilize every advantage available in the endgame to increase their power levels. To this end, a setup with Flurry that includes ample Crowd Control, impressive AOE damage, and decent boss-killing potential is recommended.
Diablo 4: Rogue Flurry Build
Skills | Total Points |
Fundamental Puncture | 3 |
Improved Flurry | 7 |
Methodical Shadow Step | 3 |
Disciplined Dash | 3 |
Countering Smoke Grenade | 3 |
Blended Poison Imbuement | 7 |
Utilizing Fundamental Puncture and Improved Flurry is crucial in effectively applying Vulnerable to opponents. This approach eliminates the necessity of relying on the Exploit Glyph, granting greater flexibility in constructing a Paragon Board.
The primary mobility skill for this build is Disciplined Dash, which has the added benefit of Dazing enemies with a single cast when paired with the Shadowslicer Aspect. This allows for the build's passive effects against Crowd Controlled targets to be more easily applied. Shadow Step, on the other hand, is primarily used for breaking CC and stunning monsters. For Rogue builds that require a lot of stationary fighting, Smoke Grenade is an extremely useful tool to prevent enemies from attacking back while unleashing Flurry on them.
Flurry is normally weak in single-target situations, which is why the build uses Poison Imbuement to help in boss fights.
Passive Skills
Skills | Points |
Sturdy | 3 |
Siphoning Strikes | 3 |
Weapon Mastery | 3 |
Rapid Gambits | 3 |
Precision Imbuement | 3 |
Deadly Venom | 3 |
Adrenaline Rush | 3 |
The Rogue build showcased here follows a common passive skill setup. It includes essential passives that boost damage and critical hit rates. However, players may opt to adjust their setup based on their specific needs.
One particularly useful passive for this build is Rapid Gambits, as it complements the frequent Dazing of enemies. Given that Rogues are inherently vulnerable, the ability to Evade more swiftly can prove crucial in surviving various endgame situations.
To ensure survivability, it's essential to keep Siphoning Strikes active. Using Flurry recklessly in a group of enemies can lead to taking damage, but this skill's heal-on-crit effect helps offset that. For unlimited energy and maximum Flurry damage, select the Inner Sight Specialization and Close Quarters Combat Key Passive. If survivability becomes a concern, switch to Momentum.
Gear and Aspects
Offense | Defense | Utility |
Accelerating | Might | Umbral |
Edgemaster | Protector | Ravenous |
Smiting | Disobedience | |
Bursting Venom | ||
Shadowslicer |
To ensure Flurry hits in every direction, Encircling Blades is a necessary addition. While this won't increase the damage dealt, it will greatly expand the area covered by the skill. For players seeking to maximize their damage output, using Edgemaster on a Crossbow can make Flurry hit harder when their Energy is at full capacity.
Combining Accelerating Aspect with Inner Sight and Close Quarters Combat can significantly boost DPS during boss fights. Additionally, using Bursting Venom in conjunction with Smiting can further increase damage output against tough opponents by granting unlimited Poison Imbuement charges when standing on Poison Pools. Energy management can be addressed with Ravenous and Umbral, while defensive abilities listed above offer solid protection against all types of enemies.
The build doesn't require any Unique items, but Penitent Greaves is more than welcome here for its passive ice trail.
Paragon Board
For this build, starting with the Exploit Weakness Paragon Board is a wise choice as it enhances damage against Vulnerable targets, which is an area where this build excels right from the beginning. To maximize its potential, equip Combat in the Starting Board's Glyph socket and either a Dexterity or Intelligence Glyph on the Exploit Weakness' board.
For optimal performance with this build, players should focus on effects that enhance damage to Core Skills and melee attacks. Cunning Stratagem and Cheap Shot are both useful additions, but it's important to prioritize nodes that improve Core Skill damage, armor, and resistances over the Legendary node of Cunning Stratagem. Diablo 4 is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
