More top-tier Rogue builds in Diablo 4: Leveling & endgame in Season 3

Is our best build guide not Roguish enough for you? Then here are some alternative best Rogue builds in Diablo 4, including both leveling and endgame in Season 3.

Diablo 4 has lots of impressive builds for the Rogue, one of the original three Diablo classes who returns in Diablo 4 to show the Amazon and Demon Hunter classes how things are done. While we’ve already covered what we believe to be the best Rogue build in Diablo 4 for both leveling and endgame, below we’ve included some alternative builds that are also worth trying.

This way, you’ll have a choice when it comes to picking the best builds for the Rogue in Diablo 4, especially when it comes to choosing a leveling build, or a build to tackle the endgame – which is where the game really kicks in. Here’s our alternative best Rogue builds in Diablo 4 Season 3.

The returning character classes include the Barbarian, Sorcerer, Rogue, Necromancer, and Druid.

Best Diablo 4 Rogue build for leveling

Diablo 4’s Rogue has lots of potent builds to use in the current meta, but we found the Penetrating Shot Rogue to be among the best when it comes to leveling in Season 3.

Here are the skills you’ll need to select to craft this powerful build.

This build is a great one for cutting down Lilith’s minions in the main campaign, but once you enter the endgame, it may be time for a build with more longevity.

The Rogue has existed since the original Diablo game.

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:

Offensive Aspect of the Expectant – (Underroot, Scosglen)‍Rapid Offensive Aspect – (Buried Halls, Dry Steppes)‍Trickshot Offensive Aspect – (Bastion of Faith, Hawezar)

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.

Seneschal Companion stones

To get the best out of the Seneschal Companion for this build, try to find and equip the following Governing and Turning Stones:

• Lightning Bolt (Governing)
• Frigid Support (Turning)
• Efficiency Support (Turning)
• Multishot Support (Turning)
• Flash of Adrenaline (Governing)
• Duration Support (Turning)
• Tactical Support (Turning)
• Safeguard Support (Turning)

Best Rogue endgame build

Once you get past level 50 and have seen the ending of Diablo 4, things will then change as you’re into the endgame. This means the build you used to reach this point may no longer be sufficient, and to really make the most of the endgame content, you’ll need to respec to an endgame build. This is optional, but then switching out your skills to the one below will place you close to the top of the Season 2 meta.

Here’s one of the best endgame Rogue builds in Diablo 4 Season 3 currently, the Death Trap Rogue – and the skills you’ll need to focus on:

Paragon Board

• Starting board (activating Skillfull, Lawless, Resilience)
• Deadly Ambush board (Activating Trapper, Engineering, Cunning)
• Cheap Shot board (Activating Devious, Wiles, Safeguard, Oppress)
• Tricks of the Trade board (Activating Brawler, Focused, Havoc)
• No Witnessess board (Activating Knowledge, Training, Exploit)

Glyphs

Here are the Glyphs we’d recommend activating as you work through the Paragon board:

• Exploit
• Combat
• Diminish
• Turf
• Closer

Legendary Aspects

As this is an endgame build, it pays to unlock as many Legendary Aspects for the class as possible. Try to unlock the following Aspects as soon as possible in Season 3 to take advantage of their buffs, as each will have its own use within an endgame build:

• Aspect of Branching Volleys in Shadowed Plunge (Hawezar)
• ‍Rapid Aspect in Buried Halls (Dry Stepps)
• ‍Eluding Aspect in Caldera (Fractured Peaks)
• ‍Disobedience in Halls of the Damned (Kehjistan)
• ‍Edgemaster’s in Oldstones (Scosglen)
• ‍Might in Dark Ravine (Dry Steppes)
• ‍Cheat’s in Luban’s Rest (Scosglen)
• ‍Aspect of the Expectant in Underroot (Scosglen)
• ‍Corruption in Renegade’s Retreat (Kehjistan)
• ‍Vengeful Aspect in Inferno (Kehjistan)
• Mangler’s (Unlocked through farming Helltides & Nightmare Dungeons)

Seneschal Companion stones

To get the best out of the Seneschal Companion for this build, try to find and equip the following Governing and Turning Stones:

• Tempest (Governing)
• Slowing Support (Turning)
• Efficiency Support (Turning)
• Safeguard Support (Turning)
• Flash of Adrenaline (Governing)

• Tactical Support (Turning)
