Hey, fellow Diablo fans! Are you excited about the upcoming release of Diablo 4? I know I am! And one of the classes I'm most looking forward to playing is the Rogue. The Rogue is a versatile and deadly class that can use bows, daggers, swords, and even magic to take down enemies from any distance. In this blog post, I'm going to share with you my Rogue class build guide, which I think is the strongest Rogue build in Diablo 4. Let's get started!

The Rogue class in Diablo 4 has three specializations: Shadow Realm, Combo Points, and Exploit Weakness. Each specialization has its unique skills and playstyle, but for this build, we're going to focus on the Shadow Realm specialization. The Shadow Realm specialization allows the Rogue to enter a dark dimension where they can deal massive damage and avoid enemy attacks. It also gives them access to skills like Shadow Step, which lets them teleport behind enemies and stab them in the back, and Shadow Power, which increases their damage and critical chance while in the Shadow Realm.

The main stats we want to prioritize for this build are Dexterity, Critical Damage, and Attack Speed. Dexterity increases our damage with all weapons, Critical Damage increases our damage when we land a critical hit, and Attack Speed increases our rate of fire with bows and our speed of attacks with melee weapons. We also want some Vitality to increase our health and survivability, and some Resistance to reduce the damage we take from elemental attacks.

For our weapons, we want to use a combination of a bow and a dagger. The bow allows us to deal damage from afar and apply debuffs like poison or bleeding to our enemies. The dagger allows us to deal high damage up close and benefit from skills like Backstab and Slice and Dice. We can switch between our weapons depending on the situation and our preferences.

For our armor, we want to use light armor that gives us bonuses to Dexterity, Critical Damage, and Attack Speed. We also want some pieces that give us bonuses to Shadow Power duration and Shadow Realm cooldown reduction. This way, we can stay in the Shadow Realm longer and enter it more often.

For our skills, we want to use the following:

- Primary Skill: Rapid Fire (Bow). This skill fires a barrage of arrows at our enemies, dealing damage and generating Combo Points. Combo Points are used to activate powerful finishing moves that vary depending on our weapon.

- Secondary Skill: Backstab (Dagger). This skill teleports us behind an enemy and stabs them in the back, dealing massive damage and applying a bleed effect. It also consumes all Combo Points to deal additional damage based on the number of Combo Points consumed.

- Action Skill 1: Shadow Step (Dagger). This skill teleports us to a nearby location, leaving behind a shadow clone that distracts enemies. If we use this skill again within a short time, we can swap places with our shadow clone. This skill is great for repositioning, escaping, or setting up ambushes.

- Action Skill 2: Shadow Power (Bow). This skill activates our Shadow Realm specialization, allowing us to enter the Shadow Realm for a limited time. While in the Shadow Realm, we deal increased damage and have increased critical chance. We also become invisible to enemies outside the Shadow Realm, unless we attack them or they enter the Shadow Realm as well.

- Ultimate Skill: Rain of Vengeance (Bow). This skill unleashes a hail of arrows that rain down on a large area, dealing damage and stunning enemies. This skill is perfect for clearing out large groups of enemies or finishing off bosses.
