Penetrating Shot Rogue Endgame Build Guide

The Penetrating Shot Rogue Endgame Build Guide teaches you about Gear, Skills, Paragon, Playstyle & Seasonal Mechanics in Diablo 4.

Penetrating Shot fires a piercing arrow that deals damage to monsters in a line. With Eaglehorn, the arrow can bounce off walls and turn Penshot into a true Area of Effect ability! Combined with Cold Imbuement or Poison Imbuement and Shadow Clone, it gains even more power and elemental synergies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Penshot runs T150 in 30 seconds, is that a bug?

• Yes.

Can you explain how the bug works?

• We are not promoting the use of bugs and exploits. The bug has been reported to Blizzard immediately after we figured out how it works.

How does Penshot perform without that bug?

• Around T125 is the ceiling, boss damage is very limited and that's the biggest bottleneck. A new bossing variant is under construction.
