Diablo 4 - Best Rogue Builds Guide

gamespot.com:

The Rogue in Diablo 4 is one of the more complicated classes to play, largely due to a focus on applying buffs and debuffs in combat. Despite this, the Rogue can also have an incredibly high damage output against both single-target enemies and large groups, if you know how to build right. The Rogue can be built for Poison, Ice, or Shadow damage, as well as an emphasis on either single-target or multi-target attacks.

This build will cover which active abilities, passives, and upgrades you should grab to maximize each build's potential.

While you can tailor each Rogue build to have a better emphasis on large groups versus single-targets, the builds here will be set up to deal with both with ease. The main difference between the three builds is which Imbuement abilities they use, along with some minor changes to maximize those elements. In addition, there will be some notes on how you should play with each class, to maximize the passives and upgrades chosen below.

The Poison Rogue build is a personal favorite, applying as much poison damage to enemies in an area as possible. What makes this build so effective is all of the passive abilities related to poison damage, which will make enemies take more damage, deal less damage, and die quicker. Combined with more active attacks from your primary and core skills, this can melt through enemies with ease. One of those most important aspects of this build is the use of Advanced Twisting Blades and Dash, as you get cooldown reductions
