this build SLAPS. just switched from barrage, now i'm able to clear t5 hordes and T100 NM dungeons much easier at lvl 100 with gear Mw only at 4-6 so far. feel like I can kill tormented bosses soon with this no problem!

[@268Killswitch]

I switched my rogue to this build to on Xbox and immediately could handle stuff I’ve been struggling with. 1 shot a t23 pit guardian first test play. Thank you, earned my sub.

[@thoughtsonpaper2]

I trust you. I did my tornado druid based on your video last season and had a blast. So glad you posted this. Will be playing "freely" until lvl 100 (I'm 81 currently), then switch to this build.

[@hubmanspencer7943]

This is the closest I’ve came to using a streamer build and it kicks ass. I don’t have a starless skies and I’m using Shroud of Khanduras because the pull while evading is something I’ve gotten too used to having, and it suits my playstyle. I’m working on perfecting my rotation and when I get it the monsters vaporize. I can’t believe how fast a tormented boss goes down and maybe I’ll try for my first ever Echo of Lilith defeat. Awesome build.

[@lucasaffonso69]

That’s exact what I was looking for! I still don’t have tyraels chest, only Khanduras. I will give it a go later. Let’s see how it goes. Many thanks for that

[@thoughtsonpaper2]

I played with this build for several days. I guess people like Nick Tew are pros for a reason. It was def an upgrade from what i was using. I just cleared a tier 5 horde on my own. This character (the starter build) is way too prone to die. Had to sub out some of the offensive aspects to the dodge chance to fortify and dodge chance to gain health. I die way less now and still doing lots of damage. Fortify is underrated in this game.

[@edjosephalejandro2696]

Nice build thanks Nick. I now know what tweaks I need to adjust.

[@Anthony-o6y4c]

[@danamason2498]

First of all, you are the consummate character guide! Sensei… 🙏🏻 I have a thought as a dedicated (since day 1) rogue: The “peeing” moniker is annoying! This build ought to be the “M-80 Snowblower”, or the “Ice Spider”… I’ve been waiting for this build to pay back those friggin’ never miss spiders who lob in from afar! Haha, I do it better spiders!!!!

[@nickschiraldi9044]

Which aspect would I need to swap to make the build more tanky? Getting cooked in higher tier infernal hordes

[@Dani-me5hv]

I'm using this build and works perfectly but yours as mine can be improved. On amulet we need ranks to friged frinesse,unstable elixir and life all GA if possible. That is gonna boost our damage like crazy.

[@SmallestZovia]

THe one thing i was curious about is why you prefer puncture? Over Heartseeker ? What makes it better to you?

[@juanmercado249]

Awesome build I managed to reach pit 118 with this. Any insight on using the Doombringer instead of condemnation?

I'm playing a rouge for the first time and am playing rapid fire. Easy, lots of fun, kills everything but early still. So, lots of learning to do to maximize the build.

[@coogano]

Excellent build. Evaporates everything. Rogue4Lyfe

[@dassler-sy8dd]

the build does a hell lot of damage and its super fun against bosses but man.. it so frustrating to play it on hordes (specially on ps5 using controller)

[@thelamenovelist]

Tweaked a few things around here and there. Easily solo-ed uber lilith 😬 Thanks for the framework!

[@AceGamerZ227]

What did you tweak?

[@thelamenovelist]

@@AceGamerZ227 removed agile and some points in siphoning. Put it in second wind and the lucky hit passive. Did not use might since i have tyraels. So i went a more aggressive setup. Changed ranger glyph to ambush Also im using condemnation and umbracrux. Instead of condemnation + random. So far have been able to carry people doing torm bosses no problem. The problem is doing higher tier hordes efficiently. In which i think a barrage rogue would do better.

[@JSim_mo]

Could we see the Stats and materials list in the future? I'd like to see the total base attack speed %, Crit Damage %, so I can see how I currently compare. Thanks!

[@DizzyDillon]

I am having trouble with the council at the end of tier 7. When doing ubers it is similar where sometimes they get shredded sooo fast but other times it does no damage. I know it's not random, so I am doing something out of sequence probably. Any tips for fighting the bosses at the end so they die as fast as they do in your video, everytime? Please and thank you

[@TheVituu]

if u want to max out damage, u need to stagger the enemy. Thats when this build truly shines. Besides that you will be most of the time waiting till they are staggered ;-;

[@rlauntz53]

Awesome guide! Currently running cold imbued barrage in infernal hordes to level up from the 40's to level 100 and will switch to this build. I may farm tormented zir on my sorc to farm that unique ring first.

[@Xelbak_]

Do you mean Scoundrels kiss? Because that's a rogue only unique, it won't drop for a sorcerer.

[@rlauntz53]

Hi nick, so the uber unique equipments will be mich stronger than the starter build? I noticed u didn't drip the other dagger for umbracrux

[@BillyST89]

Would this build be viable in season six? I want to try this out, looks fun

[@melloup7873]

thank you for the build. just started D4 just a few weeks ago. do we need dmg%? or focus mainly on crit dmg%? i thought the higher the dmg%, the higher the crit dmg%? do i need to balance both?

[@jeremyleon9744]

You don't need because in this build you will have nearly full uptime with critical dmg and with the scaling from precision passive it's what makes crit dmg % better

[@J36gE]

Nice build i will try this thanks nick

[@seanmelby4504]

Nice build. Going to try it. Roughly how high can the basic build clear in pit?

[@Randsel]

I'm following this build and I am currently clearing mid 90's pits and I dont even have any of the mythics yet. I feel its pretty good. I also just killed lilliath solo for the first time finally :)

[@bigbeef8190]

Hi. How are you getting Puncture to cast multiple blades if that's what that is. I see you casting it with Rapid fire. Thanks

[@youngwang5546]

Hey Nick for the sky hunter bow how important is the precision affix? I’m using a non ga bow with 48% precision but found a 375 ga crit damage one but it’s only 24% precision… I’m guessing that it’s better to have high % chance to cast twice and high precision instead of an extra 150 crit damage right?

[@NickTew]

It depends on how much crit damage you already have, but generally the passive being maxed is more value, kinda depends on the stats on the item as a whole. It's not worth losing 24x and a lower chance to cast twice roll for 150 crit damage, afaik. Also depends on how many trick attacks ranks you have because that makes the crit damage value scale a little weird. I'd prio the passive>CHD>chance, but ideally just get one that is well rounded

[@youngwang5546]

@@NickTew back to the farming mines I go… yeah I calculated it, you just compare your old crit value x 1.48 versus your new one x1.24 and it wasn’t better. Thanks man!

[@fsfeeble123]

Hey NickTew! I was wondering if the HC is worth using as a helm. It’s the only mythic I have so far? It seems like it hits harder, but I was curious about your thought on it

[@zilliq]

he mentionned HC at 24:42

[@horribled4686]

Godslayer is good for build. Basic attack or caltrops group for rapid fire. + to core skills.

[@pedroafviana]

Awesome build!

[@harrisonmulrine2004]

For the starter build, would the Godslayer Crown be a decent helm until I find a Nameless?

[@Ubercubertuber]

The problem with this build(and most other rapid fire builds this season) is that they need "perfect" gear to push end game. I switched to this from Andariel Barrage(which is pretty powerful but braindead) and I can't kill T8 bosses. First off, you get one or two shot out of the blue. And I'm not killing the bosses fast enough. I don't do enough damage during staggers to feasibly do T8's. You def need GA Frigid finese and trick attacks otherwise won't work.

[@stefanformgren4978]

why have 5 on dark shrud when you dont use it ? saw that on a different build aswell so dont understand. and I used ultimate deathtrap instead of smoke grenade so here is my question, why skip ultimate? to get the grenade?

[@AdminHeathcliff]

Would you not get more damage running a legendary ring instead of the starless skies? It only offers 50% damage when a legendary can roll with damage and crit damage and you can temper more crit damage on it as well

[@lawlestest]

barrage just doesn't cut it for me ... i was puncture/rapidfire/penshot with poison and shadow imbues during season 0, LOVED it. came back for season 4, heartseeker rogue, LOVED it again. gonna give this a spin.

[@TimmyVillas7041]

I was wondering about Rakanoth's Wake as an option to normal legendary boots. I'm not wearing RoSS, my other legendary ring currently gives me 220% crit damage and that's where I can put the extra aspect I'd be missing with the boots. I know you can have generally more useful affixes, especially considering Rakanoth's resistance to elements is useless with Tyrael's Might on (and the legendary effect isn't good), but the non-physical damage boost and cooldown reduction seem to be an okay tradeoff, even more if they come as GAs. Am I crazy?

[@BunnyUntidy]

First of all, i love youre work. Than with this build i really strugling in the pits 60+ tiers. And im ok with my gear. I got every unique exept tyraels chest. Damage is great, but i die a lot. You got some tanky version of this build?

[@jozen7386]

With tyrael 😊

[@aho4575]

How is your attacking power getting so high after using puncture?

[@Ultixgr]

what procs dark shroud on your build ? because i dont see the Umbrous Aspect ?

[@kamilsadowski8419]

[@jettagli337]

I am wondering this myself! The Uber build has Dark Shroud in the Skill Tree, but no Umbrous on the gear.

[@jeremiahkirby3544]

Its under defense critical strikes give u dark shroud

[@zortlak]

Trying this build for couple days and I can say it's great for your fist unique farming. Can clear T108 and T7 efficiently without any mythics, but cannot go on to T8 without Mythic version I guess. However one thing I wonder, what is the reason for Deadl Ambush paragon? We are not using traps or no skills are considered as traps with these aspects if i'm not mistaken. Does it affect boss damage multipler when they are dazed?

[@NickTew]

caltrops

[@assassinrio3474]

How do you get primal gauntlets of retribution?

[@salsassone3245]

is cunning strategem paragon better than using tricks of the trade? you only get 1 more arrow (no damage boost), as opposed to a 25%[x] modifier. i currently have both boards going to test.

[@Just-watching121]

I see that in addition to tempering you have another added stat on every item - what is it?

[@aycicex]

what do u think about using a doombringer instead of a normal orange weapon?

[@Andrew-s3y]

any ideas on this?

[@kasperjuel318]

there is something off with this build I played a different RF build and was clearing tier 6 infernal hordes super easy, tried yours now I can barely clear tier 5.. I think I will try and tweak the paragon setup a little to see if that has any impact on how this build fares, I think that the lack of the repaeting aspect might have something to do with the clear speed.

[@Ryann_0718]

How did he get so much health with this build? I have pretty much the same exact things but my health is only at like 28k

[@ZachRichardson-x1i]

Most likely from his paragon board

[@austinseltzer8139]

I really love this build, the one thing I am really missing for this build to be a blast to play with is Dash. Is there a way to modify this build to be nearly as strong as it is now but utilizing Dash instead of Caltrops?

[@jeremyleon9744]

I use dash instead of shadow strike. I have 2 charges plus boots that reduce cd on attack, so I have it back almost instantly. No unstoppable sucks at first but honestly between caltrops and dash it's hard to get Ccd and if I do I just toss a potion and stun everything

[@abr-3394]

bro your build is op, I got lucky and dropped sacred skyhunter + condemnation from the season girl reward, went into the t4 capstone dungeon at level 58 and one shot the boss with 1 rapid fire I love it feels like cheating.

Should i craft starless skies first or tyraels?

[@NickTew]

tyraels probably for QoL and survivability

[@jebulz9055]

Love your builds! For the Uber variant, the board has dark shroud maxed but not slotted and no umbrous. Am I missing something?

[@NickTew]

Fixed

[@thoughtsonpaper2]

Those affixes on your amulet are going to be hard to duplicate. Never seen those all on one piece and rarely even one of them. But, on the bright side, I just did switch to this build since I finally reached lvl 100 last night and I am doing 10X the damage. This build is tough though because of all the buttons you have to push for synergy.

[@jaanuskrevald5456]

Little bitnsquishy indeed for HC but for hc i would put enshrouding to amulet and might aspect to chest if dont have tyraels and its safe to go. Ofc chest with ga life and maybe some res and armor affix. Should work well snd has same amount of dr or even more than tyrael has.

[@zilliq]

watching the health bar gave me palpitations, I would think about adding assimilation aspect as well somewhere for fortify

If u get dmg reduction from different sources like a bunch of different 20% values it will have diminishing returns as in it will never reach 100%, but if u manage to get 100% dr from a single source like 40 ranks in 1 passive skill you can reach the cap of 100% and be immortal.
