Build Summary

Andariel's Visage Rogue Build is better than ever in Season 4. I'll teach you how this build POPS and how to use it to do ALL content in the game, including high level pits, torment bosses and speed runs. I'll show you the best and fastest Andariel Build for Rogue that can compete with the best meta rogue builds out there in Season 4. I have cleared up to T122 Pit with it so far and can speed run T100's in 2 minutes!

This build does ALL of its damage through the use of the Poison Nova Lucky Hit effect from Andariel's Visage. It is a key item in this build and must be used in the build for it to function properly. There is no substitute for it.

Variant Summary

This variant is great if you are just getting started with the rogue class and want the build to pretty much run itself. Easier to gear with this variant and easier to play, but will perform a bit lower than the optimized version at a high level. It can still do all content very well.

Build Notes

Gameplay Loop

Main rotation: 1. Puncture 3 times to get 3 combo points 2. Flurry to get attack speed buff (lasts 3 seconds) 3. Puncture for about 3 seconds (about 18! times) to proc andariel's 4. Flurry again to get back attack speed buff Repeat #3 and #4

Drop Caltrops and activate Shadow Imbue for more damage as needed.

Use Dash and Shadow Step for mobility as needed. Shadow Step can be used to get out of crowd control effects.

How It Works

Andariel's Visage:

This build does ALL of its damage through the poison nova explosionp from Andariel's Visage. We take lots of attack speed, lucky hit chance and damage multipliers in order to maximize our proc rate of Andariel's.

Crowd Control:

The main thing to know about this build is that you will pretty much only do damage when a monster is in a crowd control effect or a boss is staggered. If a mob is unstoppable (chains about their head) or a boss is not staggered, our damage drops significantly due to not activating most of our multipliers during this time as well as not having our additive crowd control dmg % active.

With that in mind, we have 2 things that help us significantly with this. 1. Shared Misery + Crowd Control Tempers (stun/freeze) + daze aspect. This will pretty much instantly crowd control entire groups of mobs for us. 2. We stagger bosses very fast with all of our crowd control (stun/freeze/slow/dazes)

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

1) Why Bow over Xbow? Answer: Bow deploys caltrops faster than Xbow (feels better). Caltrops depends on the 2hander attack speed. Xbow will do about 1.5% more dmg if you want to use that instead.

2) Is X'fals worth in this build? No. Andy's won't proc x'fals and therefore x'fals won't proc enough to make it worth using over a legendary ring.

3) Can you use dmg % instead of dmg over time %? Yes, dmg % will add equal amount of dmg as dmg over time % b/c dmg % is currently bugged for dots and giving 2x its value.

4) Can you use this without Andy's Helm? No.

5) Can you use starless skies? You can, though IMO not worth using over regular ring. You will gain maybe 5% more dmg if you are comparing a ring w/ elements to starless, but it is inconsistent and you will lose survival/mobility.

6) Can you use doombringer? You can if you want more survival (good for hardcore). It is is pretty big DPS loss however.

7) Can we use Devious instead of Chip? No, devious dmg % increase does not work on bosses, chip dmg increase does work on bosses.

8) Why do you use bursting venoms? Bursting venoms has a chance to proc andariel's visage along with all of your CC % tempers.

9) What could I use instead of inner calm, I don't like standing still? Use elements instead.

10) What should I put on my amulet? Frigid is a must have. After that, malice, exploit, dex % and LHC % are all roughly equal.

11) Does Dex scale Andy Dmg... the tooltip says "skill dmg"? Yes, dex scales Andy Dmg (and all flat damage) since the start of Season 4 change. The tooltip needs to be updated.

12) Can Andy's Proc "X"? No. Andariel's poison nova does not have lucky hit chance and therefore can't proc other procs. This is true in general that procs can't proc other procs except for bursting venoms, which does have a lucky hit chance currently.

13) Why does the boss health look like it is going up sometimes/poison ticks ignored? Server lag. You will get small tick(s) followed by a big tick, which is just catching the damage up.

14) How do you get Dark Shroud orbs around you without putting Dark Shroud on your bar? The umbrous aspect does this for us.

15) Smoke Grenade? It only works on mobs, not bosses. Poison trap/Shadow imbue works on both bosses and mobs, which is why I take that.
