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.
Below, you’ll find the most important skills for the Diablo 4 Twisting Blades Rogue build:
For the Specialization, we’ve opted for Combo Points to boost the power of Twisting Blades. You can build up Combo Points by using your basic, Puncture, and each one stored (up to the maximum of three) will add considerable damage.

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.

Once again, we’d recommend Combo Points to increase the damage of Penetrating Shot. You’ll already be using your basic, Forceful Arrow, to increase your Critical Strike Chance, so taking Combo Points will add extra utility by boosting your damage and making the upcoming Penetrating Shot far more powerful.
