Diablo 4 Rogue BuildDance of Knives
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 Lucky Hit Chance capabilities to potentiate it with the Victimize Key Passive.
Huge credit to M1PY for discovering and testing some hidden mechanics.
Resistances are capped with with 1x Emerald, Ruby and Topaz on your Jewelry.

Dance of Knives is a skill with unbelievable mobility that is coincidently the perfect skill for the reworked Victimize because the Shards spawned by Aspect of Star Shards inherit the skill's Lucky Hit Chance and Imbuement. This means they also inherit Alchemists Fortune and proc Poison Damage Victimizes, which allows us to take advantage of Poison Trap, Eldritch Bounty and many other multipliers.
You may wonder why we use Shadow Clone and Flickerstep. The answer is not so simple. M1PY found a bug during the Early Access Closed Beta that functions by making Dance of Knives cast speed skyrocket when used with Shadow Clone and Inner Sight active.
