C Tier Rogue Builds For Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred Season 6

Diablo 4 Death Trap Skill Icon

Death Trap Rogue

For Rogue players who enjoy the trap playstyle, the Death Trap build is an excellent choice. This build allows you to lay down multiple traps, inflicting various status effects on enemies and finishing them off with Twisting Blades. With impressive clear speed, this build is ideal for both Nightmare Dungeons and open-world content. It offers great mobility with movement speed boosts and dashes, but the trap-based gameplay may feel awkward for some, making Death Trap more of an acquired taste.

  • Bossing:⭐⭐⭐
  • Speed Clearing:⭐⭐⭐
Pros Cons
Good Clear Speed Mediocre Damage

Diablo 4 Flurry Skill Icon

Flurry Rogue

Next is the Flurry Rogue, a fast-paced melee build perfect for early game progression, requiring little to no specific items to be effective. While it might not compete with other more powerful endgame builds, it’s a solid league starter. Flurry offers consistent damage to clear low-to-mid-level Nightmare Dungeons but tends to fall off in effectiveness during the later stages of the game. Despite this, Flurry is still worth trying before transitioning to more gear-reliant builds.

  • The Pit & Nightmare Dungeons: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • Bossing:⭐⭐⭐
  • Speed Clearing:⭐⭐⭐
Pros Cons
Great Entry Build Mediocre Clear Speed
Decent Damage Doesn't Scale Well
Decent Survivability

Diablo 4 Twisting Blades Skill Icon

Twisting Blades Rogue

The Twisting Blades Rogue has been a staple since Diablo 4's release, known for being one of the strongest builds during the first two seasons. In this build, you throw out rotating blades around your character and must stay close to enemies to maximize damage. It’s an action-packed, fast-paced playstyle with lots of movement, perfect for players who enjoy a high number of actions-per-minute.

  • The Pit & Nightmare Dungeons: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • Bossing:⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • Speed Clearing:⭐⭐⭐⭐

A Tier Rogue Builds For Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred Season 6

Diablo 4 Rapid Fire Skill Icon

Rapid Fire Rogue

For pure single-target damage, the Rapid Fire Rogue excels, earning its nickname as the 'Machine Gun' build. This build fires bursts of arrows that quickly deplete enemies' health bars, making it ideal for taking on bosses and high-end content, including high levels of the Pit, as well as Uber Bosses. While Rapid Fire lacks AoE capabilities and might feel slower when clearing large packs of enemies, it shines in boss fights. With some gear investment, it becomes one of the top builds for farming bosses in Season 6.

  • The Pit & Nightmare Dungeons: ⭐⭐⭐
  • Bossing:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • Speed Clearing:⭐⭐⭐
Pros Cons
Great AoE Damage Resource Starved
Decent Survivability Requires Positioning

S Tier Rogue Builds For Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred Season 6

Diablo 4 Barrage Skill Icon

Barrage Rogue

The Barrage Rogue is a ranged build that fires 5 arrows in an arc, dealing significant damage to all enemies in front of you. While technically a ranged build, you’ll often find yourself in melee range, which can complicate survivability. However, this build is versatile and doesn’t require any specific gear to be effective, making it a great option to try out in Season 6 for those who want a hybrid ranged-melee experience.

  • The Pit & Nightmare Dungeons: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • Bossing:⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • Speed Clearing:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pros Cons
Great AoE Damage Resource Starved
Decent Survivability Requires Positioning
Very Mobile  
Diablo 4 Dance of Knives Icon

Dance of Knives Rogue

The Dance of Knives is a new Rogue skill introduced in the Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred expansion, and it's shaping up to be the best endgame build for the class. This ability hurls knives at surrounding enemies, dealing significant AoE damage while also increasing your movement speed. It’s comparable to the Barbarian's Whirlwind - you become a spinning force of destruction, quickly eliminating enemies while staying mobile. This consistency in damage while on the move makes it the perfect build for clearing dungeons and farming loot. While there may be some resource management challenges early on, Dance of Knives is going to be one of the best endgame choices for the Rogue!

  • The Pit & Nightmare Dungeons: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • Bossing:⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • Speed Clearing:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pros Cons
Amazing Clear Speed Resource Starved
Great Damage Gear Dependent
Very Mobile  

That was our full tier list for the best Rogue builds you can take to the endgame in Diablo 4 Season 6. Hopefully one of these builds managed to catch your eye, as these are some of the strongest builds in the game, not only exclusive to the Rogue class.
