168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Playing A Rapid Fire Rogue

The Rogue's Rapid Fire-based build in Diablo 4 is one of the most popular thanks to its unique mechanics that set it ap💙art from other ranged Rogue builds. Using the Improved Rapid Fire skill, Rapid Fire restores Energy if it hits a vulnerable target, meaning you can essentially use it forever.

This unique mechanic means you don't have to fall into the traditional energy generator and energy spender trope like most other builds. Below, we'll take a look at everything you need to know about building a Rapid Fire Rogue, including skill tree, Paragon Boards, gear, and more.

Build Overview

Pros	Cons
High single target damage Unique gameplay High mobility	Difficult to gear Relies heavily on Vulnerability

As mentioned above, the concept of the Rapid Fire build is pretty straightforward. Using the Improved Rapid Fire skill, 15 Energy is restored with each cast of Rapid Fire, as long as you hit a Vulnerable enemy. This means that the cost to use Rapid Fire is instantly refunded if the target is Vulnerable. This interaction ma꧂kes up the core of the build.

When paired with the Aspect of Repeating, which allows Rapid Fire's arrows to ricochet to nearby targets, Rapid Fire can efficiently clear packs of enemies while retaining high single target damage.

The setup for this build is pretty simple, but it relies on a few different synergies to enable the Energy refund for Rapid Fire. Shadow Imbuement and the Exploit Glyph are the two main methods for applying Vulnerable, wi꧃th Poison Trap being a backup option.

Dash and Shadow Step are used for mobility, a🗹llowing you to quickly move to the next pack of enemies or repღosition out of danger.

Finally, Shadow Clone is a great Ultimate Skill for this build, especially because we are using Preparation as our Specialization Skill. This Specialization reduces the cooldown of your Ultimate for every 100 Energy you spend, and r🐎esets all other cooldowns when you use your Ultimate.

Because Rapid Fire refunds its Energy cost, blowing through 100 Energy is very easy, meaning we have constant cooldown reduction for ✨all of our skills.๊ In turn, this makes applying Shadow Imbuement easier, and gives you more up time on Dash and Shadow Step for mobility.

Due to the way the Skill tree works in Diablo 4, you will have to put at least two points into a Basic Skill in order to activate the rest of the tree. We have two points in Puncture for this reason, even though we don't use this Skill at all.

Paragon

Paragon Boards
Starting Board	Go up the꧟ right side, slottin♈g Ranger into the Glyph Socket and buying all of the Dexterity Nodes within range, as well as both Rare Nodes.
No Witnesses	Slot in the Exploit Glyph, buy enough Strength Nodes to activate it, ♎and pick up the Training, Knowledge, Ruin, and Recuperate Rare Nodes, as well as the Legendary Node.
Cheap Shot	Put Efficacy in the Glyph 🍸Socket and buy as many Intelligence Nodes as you can within range. Grab the Safeguard, Oppress, Wiles, Devious, and Spearhead Nodes, as well as the Legendary Node.
Exploit Weakness	Socket in the Combat Glyph, and buy Intelligence Nodes within range. Across🌜 the board, get the Dosage, Artifice, and Hunter Killer Rare Nodes, and make a path to the Legendary Node.
Deadly Ambush	On the final board, make a path straight to the Glyph socket and slot in Turf, then buy just enough Strength Nodes to activate its additional effect. Grab the Engineܫering and Cunning Rare Nodes, and finally make a path to the Deadly Ambush Legendary Node.
Glyphs
Ranger	Marksman Skills deal more damage for every 5 Dexteri🌟ty within range. You take 10% less damage when wielding a Ran🐻ged weapon.
Exploit	Deal increased damage✤ to Vulnerable ta꧙rgets for every 5 Strength within range. When you dam😼age an enemy, make them Vulnerable for 3 seconds. This can only activate once per enemy every 20 seconds.
Efficacy	Rare Nodes within range are stronger. Imbuement Skills are 20% stronger.
Combat	Core Skills deal more Critical Strike Damage for every 5ꦑ Intelligence within range. ♚Skills that C💃ritically Strike restore a portion of their Energy cost.
Turf	Deal increased damage to Close targets🃏 for every 5 Strength within range. Gain 10% Damage Reduction against Close enemies.

As you progress through your Paragon Board, prioritize activating the additional effects of Ranger and Exploit first, with Exploit being the most important. Exploit is what allows thi🌊s build to funct🍸ion, so its imperative to have its additional effect as soon as possible.

Recommended Gear And Stats

This build will take a bit more investment to work properly, but doesn't have that many essential Legendary Aspects. Repeating Apsect, Blast-Trapper's Aspect, Accelerating Aspect, and Edgemaster's Aspect are the most important to have, while all others provide nice bonuses.

Keep in mind that Repeating Aspect can not be obtained from the Aspect Codex, so you'll have to find an item with it and transfer it to your preferred Ranged Weapon for the added power.

Legendary Aspects And Important Affixes

Gear Slot	Aspect	Affixes
Two-Handed Ranged Weapon	Aspect of Repeating	Vulnerable Damage, Damage to Distant Enemies
Main Hand 1	Smiting Aspect	Damage value, Vulnerable Damage
Main Hand 2	Edgemaster's Aspect	Damage value, Vulnerable Damage
Helm	Aspect of Disobedience	Cooldown Reduction
Chest	Cheat's Aspect	Damage Reduction, Maximum Life
Gloves	Aspect of Synergy	Ranks of Rapid Fire, Attack Speed
Pants	Umbrous Aspect	Damage Reduction🍸, Dama♏ge Reduction From Distant Enemies
Boots	Ravager's Aspect	Movement Speed,
Amulet	Accelerating Aspect	Cooldown Reduction
Ring 1	Blast-Trapper's Aspect	Critical Strike Chance, Critical Strike Damage
Ring 2	Aspect of Corruption	Critical Strike Chance, Critical Strike Damage

Inner Calm is ano𝕴ther Legendary Aspect that can work well in this build, mainly for boss fights where you can stand still for longer periods of time.

Uniques

This Rapid Fire build does not feature any essential Unique items, but the Penitent Greaves can be a great help for some additional damage. These boots create a trail behind you as you move that Chills enemies, and increase your damage against Chilled enemies. Penitent Greaves aren't essential, but can provide some good Crowd Control and bonus damage, if 🀅yo🧸u have them.

Playing A Rapid Fire Rogue

The general gameplay of this build is quite simple. Because most of the build operates passively, all you really have to worry about is activating Shadow Imbuement and Shadow Clone when they are off cooldown, and use Rapid Fire to clear groups of enemies.

Use Dash and Sh💯adow Step as needed to reposition around enemies, or use them proactively to Crowd Control key targets like Elites.

Shadow Imbuement is mainly used for applying Vulnerable to groups of enemies, while Poison Trap is saved for boss fights. Because the Exploit Glyph only makes enemies Vulnerable for three seconds, and in most cases the boss won't die in just three seconds, you need another source of Vulnerable application to continue using Rapid Fire.

This is where Poison Trap comes in handy, making use of the Blast-Trapper's Aspect to increase the chance of the enemy becoming Vulnerable. If Blast-Trapper doesn't activate, however, you'll need to run around for a few seconds to regenerate Energy in between uses of Rapid Fire until Exploit or Poison Trap are off cooldown.
