Best Specialization

The Preparation specialization is perfect for the Rain of Arrows Rogue because it makes your abilities flow smoothly.

Heartseeker lets you spend energy to trigger damage reduction and reduce Rain of Arrows’ cooldown. Plus, it keeps No Witnesses active, boosting your damage, so you’re always dealing maximum destruction.

Best rotation

• Rain of Arrows
• Heartseeker
• Shard of Verathiel
• Dark Shroud
• Dash
• Smoke Grenade
• Caltrops

The core of this rotation is casting Rain of Arrows whenever it’s off cooldown. To quickly reset its cooldown, use Heartseeker and Shard of Verathiel – these help you stack Precision and bring Rain of Arrows back faster.

Dark Shroud is your defensive lifeline, giving you buffs and helping you activate Danse Macabre, which is essential for tougher fights. Keep those shadows up at all times for maximum defense.

Dash is your mobility tool, perfect for zipping around the battlefield. Smoke Grenade not only boosts damage but also disables enemies, making them unable to attack.

For the Danse Macabre buff, cast Smoke Grenade or Dark Shroud just before Rain of Arrows. Finally, use Caltrops on tougher targets to add chill and freeze effects.

How to build Rain of Arrows Rogue for PvP

While the Rain of Arrows build for Rogue is fantastic in PvE, it falls short in PvP.

The build shines in clearing large groups of enemies with massive AoE damage, perfect for things like Nightmare Dungeons and farming.

However, in PvP, it faces some challenges since the build relies heavily on cooldowns, and in fast-paced PvP, it can be tough to consistently get Rain of Arrows off when you need it. Plus, Precision stacking and preparing other skills for maximum damage takes time, which doesn’t work well in the heat of battle where every second counts.

And let’s not forget the vulnerability – while you’re casting Rain of Arrows, you’re exposed to enemy attacks since the skill has a cast time.

Now that you know how to craft this top-tier Rogue build, make sure to check out our guides for the Druid, Sorcerer, Barbarian, and Spirtiborn. There’s also our Diablo 4 Class tier list so you can see where this build fits in the current meta.
