Best Diablo 4 Rogue build for leveling, endgame & PvP in Season 3

Diablo 4’s Rogue has a variety of ranged and melee options, giving their playstyle a flexibility that other classes don’t possess. Here is the best Rogue build in Diablo 4 for leveling, endgame, and PvP in Season 3 that makes use of these skills.

Diablo 4‘s Rogue isn’t a new class to the series, but it was entirely omitted in the second and third entries. It was largely replaced by the Assassin, Amazon, and Demon Hunter classes, who used similar elements in their battle tactics, such as bows, traps, and stealth. This includes Season 3 of Diablo 4.

If you’re looking to get that Demon Hunter-esque ranged playstyle with bows, traps, smoke bombs, and dodge rolls in the game, then you’ll want to play as the Rogue. However, you’ll need a powerful build that makes use of the Rogue’s unique abilities. Here is the best Rogue build in Diablo 4 in the current meta for leveling, endgame, and PvP during Season 3.

Best Rogue leveling build in Diablo 4

The Rogue class is particularly versatile and you have a good choice of both ranged and close-quarters combat.

The Twisting Blades Rogue is an extremely powerful build that can clear a lot of enemies but also deal massive damage. It takes a little finesse, but hey would you really be playing Rogue if you weren’t into that?

Unsurprisingly this build is set mostly around the Twisting Blades ability, as well as a few others, each designed to cause a lot of damage and clear mobs of enemies.

Legendary Aspects

While there are many great Legendary Aspects in the Codex of Power that will help this build, there are three in particular that you need to prioritize for this build. Here’s what they are and where to find them:

• Bladedancer’s Offensive Aspect (Jalal’s Vigil,
  Scosglen)
• Ravenous Resource Aspect (Shifting City,
  Dry Steppes)
• Edgemaster’s Offensive Aspect (Oldstones,
  Scosglen)

Each one will essentially buff your damage in various ways and make your Rogue build even more deadly.

We’d recommend not imprinting these Aspects on your weapons, as you’re likely to replace these many times on your Leveling journey. Instead, add offensive Aspects to your jewelry, this way, it can continue to serve you well into endgame.

• Flash of Adrenaline (Governing)
• Duration Support (Turning)
