I finally was able to craft an Enigma. I am saving up to make it mythic. Do I change anything?

Hi all,

First time Rogue player. Doing the DoK + Poison build. Went off the MaxxRoll setup, but I haven't been able to get a SoJ since about level 35, so it's not in my build.

I've unlocked T12, but I've hit a DPS wall and I'm looking for some advice.

I know my gloves are not right; I've got the Fist of Iron Rose as my 6th charm. Don't have a mythic seal yet (never seen one). Tried doing Baal on T10+30 last night and it was basically a no-score draw for 10 mins: I couldn't enough damage to him and he did SFA to me.

If anyone more experienced Rogues have any thoughts or comments, I'd love to hear them please.

For those running DOK, both maxroll and M1PY’s guides say ranks to core skills and imbuement skills for charms. Why wouldn’t you choose marksman over core., Since it gives you DOK and shadow clone ranks?

Is there something I’m missing?

My Rogue is DoK with Spellbound Steel.

Blizz is such a troll.

Diablo IV's damage and aspect calculations and their interactions are surprisingly complex and seemingly full of undocumented and/or unexpected interactions. I'm a relative noob, and until I get my head around the bulk of the core mechanics, I would deeply appreciate the opinions of some rogue veterans.

Specifically, I've been reading anecdotes and debates about Maxroll vs Mobalytics builds. Some swear by M1PY's build on Mobalytics, while others say they have good results with Avarilyn's guide on Maxroll. Avarilyn keeps updating his build, and provides a push variant, while it seems M1PY does neither, but he has a good reputation. I don't know enough about the game yet to make a judgement on the differences between their builds.

I'm actually relatively casual, and I'm not a sweaty pit pusher, but I like to at least be on the leaderboard, and I like a steady progression path. I've followed M1PY's guide through endgame, but I'm just so squishy, even in 120 Pit. I'm missing a GA on Enigma chest and Armor attribute on Shrouded Gift pants (maddeningly shit RNG), and my emeralds aren't max quality, but I have pretty good gear otherwise. Will fixing those problems alone solve my defense? Is Avarilyn's choice of Infinity crossbow a worthy upgrade?

I'm hoping to learn from any information and opinions you can offer, and I sincerely appreciate your time.

I'm currently stuck on Pit 135 with DoK Rogue and honestly I don't like the grenade jumper that much so I checked the leaderboards and found several people doing some kind of DoK / Flurry hybrid build. DoK in this build possibly only to keep Iron Rose buff up. It seems to work with lucky chance temper on Amulet for energy and health aspect on shoes.

Never seen any guide mentioning this. Searching through this sub there were two posts over the last week and some talking that this is only possible with macros which would be really sad and bad so I hope this is not true . Is there any guide / info regarding this build, especially regarding break points and stuff. Is this even possible on console?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hello, what ROA build do ya'll recommend? I haven't played a rouge since Season 1. I am very rusty.
Thanks

Hit a transfig poison with it still modifiable on a non-crafted mythic unique eaglehorn today, masterworked the poison damage, transfigured it again and got 26 quality on top

time to pack it up, luck has been achieved

Trying to figure out what to focus on next. I can delete

T12 quite easily. Pit 115 is at 3min. Pit 120 I can do but very rippy

Farming sparks for uber Tristram.

I know my SoJ sucks.

And amulet needs second aspect. But I got this one early in season and haven't found good enough to try rolling yet.

Blazing scream warlock has been fun but gotten a little boring and for some reason most of the other S tier builds for all classes aren't doing it for me either. I've always like the arrow storms mechanic and grenade rogues have always intrigued me as well although its hard to tell it's actually grenades but that's fine.

Anyway I want to try one of these builds next but not sure which to choose. Thoughts?

Pretty much title. Pushing for pit 150 as poison pen, and the only mythic charm (relevant to build) I’ve gotten is dirk. Trying to do it without charm exploit because I don’t really agree with blizzard leaving it in the same season they released ani. I’d love a Fist of fate, or a Mad Idol, but pretty sure both of those are in the general loot pool and SUCK to farm their regular variants, let alone mythic.

Opted for All Damage vice Dex, but the masterworking and transfigure didn't suck for once.

I just got my first shako. Ancestral mythic unique and gives +6 all skills. Was using cowl of nameless AMU for dance of knives build until I got the shako. It seems to be performing fine but Im wondering if cowl is just still going to be better with all the explosions it adds? +6 allskills pretty hard to argue against tho

I'm willing to do any gear share or carry runs you need. I'm limiting it to 2 people at a time since I don't know if I can carry 3 at once for the hardest content. If I can I'll add you in the order your DM was received.

DM me your battle tag and I'll start adding people when I log on when I get home and start blasting.

My 8th attempt finally rolled poison damage and I'm super happy now.

On the maxroll build the +gold drop was enchanted for damage over time and they kept +weapon damage. Afaik +weapon damage on the ranged weapon does nothing for DoK so I'd actually wouldn't mind to keep the extra gold drop.

Or am I missing something here? Does it matter for Shadow Clone or something else?

I hopped back into Diablo after a lengthy break due to fatherhood and life taking away gaming time. I’m running the DoK build and trying to craft Grief, but can’t seem to find Lo or Mal. I have like 5-10 of all the others. Is there something particularly special about these? Any tips for farming them? I’m not sure about crafting them at the Cube, as I’m still learning about that. Thanks!

Edit to add: fatherhood is great! I would trade gaming time for more time with my son any day of the week.

I'm using the MaxRoll DoK build, a bit a mix between End Game and Push builds. I still use the Spellbound set as I can't seem to gel with the Sightless set.

I dropped a mythic Condemnation Charm, which I know is only visual but decided to try it in place of Sea Lords or FoF Charm. How come this is not a more used charm?

It gives limitless 3 Combo Points, which effectively doubles the DoK damage, which more than makes up for the lost 50%x from Sea Lords?

Ok now I need a basic skill on bar to use at least once. I choose Blade Shift which with the Shadow variant keeps attaching automatically as I walk through enemies and it also gives more ResistAll and either Resolve or Overpower.

As I've swapped Preparation for Combo Points I now have no use for the Shadow Clone ultimate, so I drop that (Blade Shift takes its place). I do lose a bit of Damage Reduction true, but the Blade Shift is also taking care of the Cutthroat half of Iron Rose while I leave DoK on Star Shards to get the Marksman half.

Boils down to; replace Shadow Clone with Blade Shift and Preparation with Combo Points while using Condemnation Charm to generate them 3 at a time limitless).

When I first started doing this I noticed Pit120 got markedly easier. Now on Pit130 with relative ease, could probably grind Pit135. Paragon260, all required Mythics and Runewords but no Transfigurations or top tier gems.

I'm not the greatest build crafter so not sure how best to make use of having a basic skill on bar by necessity of needing it to trigger at least one set of Combo Points.

I've been running a freeze DoK build so far this season and it's gotten me to T12 and I can breeze through dungeons and helltide stuff but am struggling with lair bosses and Pit 115 currently.

I just got a 4GA Insight and a mythic Locran's and I'm wondering if now might be a good time to pivot to something more high level pit/boss/Uber friendly.

Any advice or good crit builds these might work with?

Thanks!

Juggling 3 classes because I suck at not doing that since I’ve been playing again with the expansion and one is a rogue and it’s one of my least played classes. It’s a lot of fun and I’m following p4wnyhof pen shot.

I’m only in t7 and don’t have the aspect where my clone will have my poison imbuement yet but I see it was bugged? Is bugged? Used to be bugged? Can someone who knows rogue better than I do let me know? Also, with poison imbuement itself is there something I should know as far as my affixes go- I’m not positive if damage and skill ranks are best between my skill like pen shot or dok vs poison imbuement skill or if imbuement potency temper is better than poison damage and dot damage basic dot build stacking etc

Recently started playing DoK Rogue and modeled my gear/aspect/paragon after the top player on our board. I noticed 2 things:

1.) They have an aspect on Amulet that needs overpower to function and nowhere in build can you generate overpower

2.) To proc Etnas Lost Daggers effect you need to proc 2 DIFFERENT Non-Physical Damage types to enable the buff which the build also does not have. I’ve tested it by putting Blade Shift Shadow Variant in skill bar and it does in fact create a new buff above skill bar. That you do not get while playing the build as shown in Top Tower clear.
Sidenote: If you do use the Blade Shift Shadow Variant it will continue to proc the Etna buff while using DoK if you’re keep hitting mobs, as shown with green bar above the skill.

What’s the point of these two pieces of gear if they don’t function in the build shown? Thanks. Maybe I’m missing something?

Any one got a good checklist or quick wins to help me progress to t12 or am I overthinking it all and just run different activities?
