Diablo 4: Best Rogue Endgame Build Guide

Rogue is one of the stronger and, of course, more popular classes in Diablo 4. With multiple viable endgame builds that utilize almost all the skills available, you can build a Rogue that matches your playstyle. From staying far away from enemies, to getting up close and personal, Rogues can dish out damage regardless of range if bolstered with proper endgame viable builds.

Endgame Rogue Builds in Diablo 4

Most popular Rogue builds are focused on melee skills. From the beginning of the official release early access period, Twisting Blades has been a best build contender out of all classes. Along with it is Flurry, another melee build, and Penetrating Shot for those that prefer ranged play.

These builds highlight the best of both melee and ranged Rogue skills. Whether you’re looking for a fast build where you take out your opponents quickly, or want to stay as far away from mobs as possible while still killing them, the Rogue is the class for you.
