Build Summary

Dance of Knives is an absolutely incredible skill for all types of content as it allows us to do damage while moving, something which was previously impossible on a Rogue. We make use of its incredible snapshotting capabilities by stacking multipliers that last for the entire channel duration.

How It Works

This build is Rogue's strongest farmer by far. For anything outside of Pit Pushing, Boss Killing and Pit Glyph Leveling this is your ideal build.

There are two ways to play it: snapshotting and not snapshotting. The snapshot method of playing this build allows for a higher damage potential at the cost of clunkiness, less freedom and mobility.

The reason why we focus so much on our Shadow Clone is because it has a much higher damage potential than we do once we grab all the available multipliers for it.
