Even after Spiritborn was introduced in the DLC, make the number of classes in Diablo 4 reached 6, but each class still has its own unique strengths. For example, Rogue has always been known for its agility and good mobility. Although its defense and range are slightly insufficient, as an assassin class, the right builds can completely make up for its shortcomings.
If you have been playing Diablo 4 since last year, you should know that since the birth of Rogue’s Dance of Knives skill, builds centered on this skill have been showing their prowess in the game. But as the game progresses to Season 7, relying on only this type of Rogue is obviously not enough, so Rain of Arrows Build with a similar design idea came into being.
What Is Rogue Rain Of Arrows Build?
As a new Rogue build that performs well in the new season, Rain of Arrows works similarly to Dance of Knives-type builds, which kills large groups of enemies at once by shooting dense arrays of arrows at the enemy in battle, making it very suitable for Diablo 4 Gold farming in Helltides, nightmare dungeons and Pit. The reason Rain of Arrows is more suitable for Season 7 is that it can be well matched with the current season’s witchcraft power.
What Is Rain Of Arrows?
As the core basic skill of this build, Rain of Arrows can shoot arrows into the sky after being cast, and it will fall twice in a row in a large area to cause damage to the enemy. The cooldown time is 50 seconds and the lucky hit rate is 4%. This skill can be upgraded twice, and the first upgrade is Prime Rain of Arrows, the second upgrade is Supreme Rain of Arrows.
How To Use Rain Of Arrows Build In Battle?
The core damage output of this build is undoubtedly to create dense and dense arrow arrays to attack the enemy, so you must somehow reduce the cooldown of related skills or passive effects while resetting their cooldowns to increase the frequency of output arrow arrays. For this, Rogue’s Specialization system will come in handy.
Use The Right Specialization
The five old-line classes in Diablo 4 currently have their own unique mechanics, and Rogue’s Specialization system is the most unique. Although it is the least customizable, it does not require you to earn extra experience or collect Spirit Offerings for it, and only requires you to obtain three key passive options: Combo Points, Inner Sight, and Preparation. For Rain of Arrows Build, the best Specialization is Preparation.
Although this Specialization requires you to consume 75 energy points, it can reduce the cooldown of the ultimate skill Supreme Rain of Arrows by 5 seconds, and then the ultimate skill will reset all your other cooldowns and provide you with 15% damage reduction for 10 seconds. This way, you can output arrows faster while minimizing enemy counterattacks - after all, Rogue’s defense is not strong.
Wear Reliable Gear
First, it is recommended that you strive to obtain Beastfall Boots for this build. This armor can be randomly dropped by defeating enemies, opening treasure chests, or destroying items in the world, and the higher the level of the challenge, the greater the drop rate.
As a unique armor that can be worn by Rogue class, Beastfall Boots will make your next core skill consume all your energy when you cast your ultimate skill, but for every point of energy consumed, your output damage will increase by 0.25-0.75%, and the skill’s use cooldown can restore 25 energy points.
In addition to this armor, it is also recommended that you obtain Aspect of Arrow Storms. This is an attack-type legendary aspect that gives your related skills up to 36% chance to create arrow rain on the enemy, causing continuous damage. Its Lucky Shot effect gives your Marksman and Cutthroat skills up to a 25% chance to create a rain of arrows that deals 156-486 physical damage to enemies over 3 seconds.
How Can This Build Help You Level Up Quickly By Combining With The Witchcraft Power?
The witchcraft power is the biggest feature of the current season, so you should really try to use it to your advantage in any situation, such as combining it with your Rain of Arrows Build to get you to level 60 as soon as possible in the early stages of the game.
To do this, you need to combine Dance of Knives skill and the power of Aura of Siphoning, one of the witchcraft powers, on top of Rain of Arrows Build you have already built, to clear most of the early Diablo 4 Season 7 challenges quickly. Dance of Knives can increase your movement speed, and Aura of Siphoning will surround you while allowing you to deal 372 poison damage to enemies per second, and you will restore 1% of your maximum health every time you deal damage.
It is worth mentioning that if you have additional Aspect of Star Shards, your Dance of Knives skill will have a powerful affix, which will further increase your leveling speed.
Hopefully, the above information can help you become a stronger Rogue in Season 7! Have fun!
