Diablo 4 - Which Class Is Best?
Diablo 4 Twisting Blades Rogue build
Our Twisting Blades Rogue build is fast and ferocious. It uses Shadow Imbuement to spread the Vulnerable status effect, Dashing and Shadow Stepping through enemies to catch as many enemies as possible with Twisting Blades.
It’s best against groups of enemies, excelling as you move through Nightmare Dungeons. It can do well against single-targets, especially if you pop the Shadow Clone ultimate, but you’ll need to keep moving and ensure that you’re ready to dodge any big swings or AoE attacks.

Diablo 4 Penetrating Shot Rogue build
Our Penetrating Shot Rogue build is a ranged option, allowing you to sit back with a Bow or Crossbow and sling arrows from a distance. It also uses Shadow Imbuement, because spreading Vulnerable with explosions is very strong, but pairs it with Poison Imbuement to also inflict damage over time.
Poison Trap then becomes key, with its upgrade giving us chance to instantly reset the Imbuement cooldowns. We also aim for high Critical Strike Chance and Critical Strike Damage with this build, as it synergises with Poison Imbuement for massive single-target damage.
