General Notes
General Notes for the Flurry Rogue Leveling Guide in Season 6
Note: This leveling guide is optimized for Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred (Season 6).
Flurry has become one of the best skills for the Rogue class thanks to many buffs it has received over the last few seasons. This is also noticeable in the leveling phase, and the Rogue's Flurry feels like a fully-fledged endgame build very early on.
The build is played with Combo Points so that you get the attack speed bonus from Flurry. If you continue to play the build at higher Torment levels, you can switch to Inner Sight.
Against large groups of monsters, this build also uses Shadow Imbuement, and even bosses are absolutely no problem.
Until when is this leveling build playable? You can play this and all my other leveling guides on Vitablo.com for as long as you like. Some of them still perform well at Torment difficulty 4, others have their limit at Torment difficulty 3. As soon as your build no longer feels strong enough, you can switch to one of my endgame builds.
Playstyle
Playstyle for the Flurry Rogue Leveling Guide
- Against small groups of monsters, you only need to use Blade Shift and Flurry until all enemies are dead. You should cast Blade Shift three times to get the full bonus of your Combo Points.
- You should activate Shadow Imbuement to create explosions when you face elite monsters and larger groups of enemies. Shadow Imbuement can only be triggered by Blade Shift and generates Energy for enemies killed.
- You can move between enemy groups by Dash and activate Dark Shroud for the movement speed bonus.
- You save Shadow Step for when you're stunned, as it makes you Unstoppable.
- Furthermore, you should consume a Healing Potion every 10 seconds to get the damage buff of Unstable Elixirs.
Skills
Skills for the Flurry Rogue Leveling Guide
Note: Level up all your active skills first and work your way down to your Key Passive as quickly as possible. If you are missing skill points to progress on your way through the skill tree, you can invest them in some passive skills. As soon as you have leveled up all active abilities and your Key Passive Ability, continue with the missing passive skills.
Skill tree notes:
- With the Umbrous Aspect, you no longer need Dark Shroud as an active skill and can replace it with Countering Smoke Grenade. You take the three skill points for this from Precision Imbuement.
