Vortex Gaming

· Currently the strongest Rogue build in Diablo 4, capable of clearing up to Tier 120 Rifts with overwhelming speed, surpassing Tier 115.
· Deals over 6 trillion damage with a single Penetrating Shot, boasting over 100 trillion damage when 'Zoltan's' procs.
· The build's full potential hasn't been unlocked yet; additional gear and unique item farming can more than double the damage.
· All build configurations are safe to play without exploits or bugs, so there's no need to worry about future nerfs or deactivations.
· The biggest change from previous builds is switching from 'Shadow Imbuement' to 'Ballista'.
· This is due to a bug where 'Rapid Fire' and 'Traps' do not receive the Cold Imbuement effect when using 'Vengeful Hammer'. This bug significantly reduces the build's non-physical and cold damage, effectively acting as a self-nerf.
· Ballista performs optimally when utilizing combo points in a Shadow Imbuement build and can be used safely as it's unaffected by currently known bugs.

· Helm: 'Harlequin Crest' equipped. Provides essential stats like 80% increased damage, critical strike chance, and core skill level.
· Chest: Equipping 'Tassets of the Unseen' can increase survivability and provide additional DPS from 'Holy Bolt'. However, if you prioritize survivability, consider a chest with stats like 'Life, Armor, Dexterity, Resistances' and the 'Damage Reduction while wielding a two-handed weapon' Legendary Aspect.
· Gloves: 'Vulnerable Damage' Legendary Aspect is a must. Additionally, focus on DPS stats like Critical Strike Chance, Vulnerable Damage, Cold Damage, and All Damage Increased. We recommend the 'Critical Strike Damage' imbue effect.
· Pants: 'Aspect of the Unseen Embrace' equipped. Entering stealth while using 'Dash' and gaining damage reduction while in stealth and for a short duration after breaking stealth significantly boosts survivability.
· Boots: Equip the 'Increased Movement Speed' Legendary Aspect. Prioritize stats like Dexterity, Maximum Life, Armor, and Movement Speed. We recommend the 'Movement Speed Increase' imbue effect.
· Weapon (Bow): 'Eaglehorn' equipped. This is the core weapon that makes Penetrating Shot bounce off walls, amplifying additional hits and damage. Prioritize stats like Critical Strike Damage, Cold Damage, Weapon Damage, and Life.
· Amulet: 'Aspect of Corruption' is essential for increasing maximum 'Finesse' stacks. Use it with 'Ring of the Starcaller' to gain additional marksmanship damage per Finesse stack. Prioritize stats like Dexterity, Critical Strike Chance, Critical Strike Damage, and Vulnerable Damage. We recommend the 'Critical Strike Damage' imbue effect.
· Ring 1: 'Ring of the Starcaller' equipped. Reduces skill costs and provides additional stats, boosting both survivability and DPS. We recommend the 'Vulnerable Damage' imbue effect.
· Ring 2: 'Kiss of the Spider Queen' equipped. Provides additional marksmanship damage per Finesse stack and helps gain Finesse stacks when no enemies are nearby, leading to sustained damage increase. Prioritize stats like Vulnerable Damage, Critical Strike Damage, Cold Damage, Dexterity, and Life. We recommend the 'Critical Strike Damage' or 'Vulnerable Damage' imbue effect.
· Weapons (Two One-Handed): Equip the 'Increased Marksmanship Damage and Bonus Damage to Healthy Enemies' Legendary Aspect and the '45% Increased Cold Damage and 3x Damage to Frozen Enemies' Legendary Aspect. Prioritize stats like Cold Damage, Vulnerable Damage, Critical Strike Damage, Dexterity, and Life. We recommend the 'Vulnerable Damage' or 'Critical Strike Damage' imbue effect.

· Helm: Equip 'Niyo' and 'Jay'. Replaces Dodge with Teleport, increasing movement speed and reducing Rift clear time.
· Chest: Equip 'Emerald' to increase Dexterity.
· Boots: Equip 'Ser' and 'Vex'. The +1 to all Skill Levels effect can stack up to 3 times (+3), significantly impacting DPS.
· Weapons: Socket 'Cold Damage' gems in all weapons to maximize the build's core Cold Damage.
· Amulet and Rings: Equip 'Diamond' to secure all elemental resistances and enhance survivability.

· Amulets: Equip 5 pieces of 'Narrow Eyes'. Using basic skills grants 'Revenge' stacks, increasing movement speed and marksmanship damage. While in 'Revenge' state, gain 'Dark Shroud' every 2 seconds, and gain additional damage reduction when you have at least one 'Dark Shroud'.
· With the 5-piece 'Narrow Eyes' effect, when using marksmanship skills (like Penetrating Shot) in the 'Revenge' state, the last used basic marksmanship skill will trigger 3 additional times. This allows Penetrating Shot to trigger up to 4-5 times, quickly filling the combo point maximum and dealing immense damage.
· Equip the 'Zoltan's' unique amulet. This effect instantly kills enemies when their health drops below half, greatly aiding Rift clear speed and boss damage.
· Stat Distribution: It's crucial to balance all stat multipliers for even growth. Focusing on a balance across multiple stats is more effective for overall damage increase than concentrating on a single stat.

· Basic Skills:
· 'Forceful Arrow': Invest 1 point. Builds 'Finesse' stacks for smooth energy regeneration. Helps control enemies with 'Stun' and 'Knockback' effects and fill the stagger bar.
· 'Penetrating Shot': Core skill. Enhance with 'Ballista' for additional damage and maximize the damage increase per 'Finesse' stack.
· Agility Skills:
· 'Dash': Invest 1 point. Enter stealth via 'Haste' to activate the 'Unseen Embrace' pants effect, and gain additional critical strike chance while stealthed via 'Deception'. Secure additional charge count via 'Charging'.
· 'Shadow Step': Invest 1 point. Enter stealth via 'Deception' and gain 2 seconds of invulnerability via 'Enhance'. Reduce cooldown via 'Cooldown Reduction'.
· Trap Skills:
· 'Frost Imbuement': Core skill. Freezes enemies and makes them vulnerable, dealing massive damage. Use 'Frozen Heart' to apply Vulnerable to frozen enemies and extend 'Frost Imbuement' duration. Gain additional 'Enhance' stacks on frozen enemies via 'Overcharged' and reduce 'Frost Imbuement' cooldown to maintain it constantly.
· Ultimate Skills: Not used.
· Paragon Boards:
· 'Assassin' (Glyph): Bonus damage to Weakened enemies.
· 'Ambush' (Rare Node): Bonus damage to Crowd Controlled enemies.
· 'Control' (Glyph): Bonus damage to Crowd Controlled enemies and increased Freeze/Cold Damage.
· 'Enchantment' (Rare Node): Increased Non-Physical Damage.
· 'Demon's Bargain' (Glyph): Increased Cold Damage and All Resistances.
· 'Cunning Strategist' (Glyph): Increased Combo Point bonus.
· 'Fluidity' (Glyph): Increased Magic Node bonuses and acquisition of additional stats.

· Follower: Equip 'Hired Thug'. Secure Elemental Resistance and Damage Increase options.
· Enhancement: Equip 'Barana'. Use 'Blood Craze' to increase attack speed, helping to reach the maximum attack speed cap.

· This build is currently the strongest Rogue build in Diablo 4, capable of clearing up to Tier 120 Rifts with overwhelming speed.
· Deals over 6 trillion damage with a single Penetrating Shot, boasting over 100 trillion damage when 'Zoltan's' procs.
· The build's full potential hasn't been unlocked yet; additional gear and unique item farming can more than double the damage.
· All build configurations are safe to play without exploits or bugs, so there's no need to worry about future nerfs or deactivations.
· I am confident this is the best Rogue build currently playable in the game.
