Diablo 4 Rogue BuildPoison Rapid Fire
This build revolves entirely around Poison Imbuement and Rapid Fire. Focusing on Poison damage lets us trade some burst damage for incredible amounts of DPS. This is needed to progress far in The Pits.
This is the endgame variant with Harlequin Crest.

Build Notes
- Cast Poison Imbuement
- Cast Caltrops against Elites
- Cast Death Trap
- Cast 3x Blade Shift -> 1x Rapid Fire
- Cast Shadow Step for Unstoppable when needed
This build focuses entirely on Poison Imbuement and Rapid Fire as a great way to apply it.
Because Poison Imbuement doesn't get buffed by Critical Damage and a lot of damage multipliers that affect Core Skills we have to be careful with what we use to buff it. This means we have to use Close Quarter Combat for example, which makes us have to use Blade Shift.
Rapid Fire used to have to be paired with Penetrating Shot in order to be able to do AoE damage but this is not longer the case as Scoundrel's Kiss transforms your arrows into bombs.
