Sup fam! Sorry for the longer video this time, but there's lots to talk about with this build. As usual, I made sure to do this with mediocre gear early season so that my showcase isn't out of touch with the audience looking for build guides. Currently speedfarming T110's with both the shard of varathiel and the ultra tryhard variants. Detailed information on rotations and how to play is towards the end of the video. For more information with different rotations and the pros/cons, checkout the written guide on maxroll in the FAQ section. I hope I was able to create something that was easy and fun to play. Hope you all enjoy! Always check planner in description as updates continue to happen. maxroll.gg/d4/build-guides/rain-of-arrows-rogue-guide EDIT: Just got word that a bunch of witchcraft powers are not working as intended or not at all. I will be making some minor changes to them as more things come to light.
Hi! You have diferent ascpects here on the video and on maxroll page, so please check them which one are the right ones now like on the sword I dont know what to do now.
@@qfel111 They are the same. The slots may be different, but it's the same 4 aspects Arrow storm, Vengeful, Furor and Vehemeth. It does not matter where they are slotted here.
Great explanation and build! I appreciate the quality you’re putting into recording the video with a good sound, professional camera, also how you put yourself on the screen without any shity background of the room. Wish all the other d4 streamers would take care of this as well. Thank you and waiting for more content from you!
was having MAJOR problems with my energy.. after watching your video. i saw my FLAW... no innervatrion rolls on my rings... i Spam away now Rocking and Killing everything in sight. BIG THNX!!!
Every season always look forward to your builds and informative videos to help casuals like me spend their time efficiently rather then spinning there wheels getting frustrated on a bad build. Thanks for all you do
Switched to this from flurry leveling build. I never play rogue but I’m enjoying this so far. Thanks for the breakdowns it’s helped me understand the build better
Im gonna start this build tmrrow, now with armory it is good to have 2 builds, one for speed farming like dance of knives and one for boss killing... fantastic..10/10 this season.
I switched to this yesterday after I found out TB rogue was bugged. Been very happy with the build and I'll be following your rogue guides in the future!
I'm planning to build it, right now I'm playing barrage. But When I see the stuff part it's not only that u need specific items it's that you also need specific stats on those item. So I dont know if this build can be called endgame but ultra endgame instead, I'll try tho but it seems like you need your exact stuff to make the build work.
What's the benefit to using Verathiel and Heartseeker over Beastfall Boots and a Core like Barrage? I'm still finalizing my gear, but I typically only have to hit one Barrage to remove the CD on Ultimate, but I feel like I'm missing something because the Maxroll guide also says to use Versthiel and Heartseeker.
using barrage and ult can invert your precision output, so to stop the inversion and get your max dps for ROA, use heartseeker instead, it works the same, a lil slower but you get precision on ROA every time
I have MASSIVE energy problems. I cast my RoA and shoot some Heartseeker to reduce cooldown for RoA, but I can't shoot enough HS to completely reduce cooldown for RoA cuz energy is empty.
Do you think a physical barrage build with shadow clone will be viable end game? I’m leveling with it and it’s fun. Currently in T2. Shadow clone isn’t as stupid when it can spam barrage across the whole screen
Great build, I'm doing it and adapting it until I can get right rolls and ga... one question, why distant damage on the rings instead of ultimate damage? Thanks
Love this and thank you, I would like to share with the world a infinite death trapped build in working on but I need some help polishing it. If you could somehow help me with that?
@maurohero980 technically yes. They both achieve the same thing, which is to get your resistances capped. It's just a stop gap until you get the boots you really want.
Just one thing. Your paragon on maxroll is different than in the video. You got headhunter and devious on the different boards. Thx again for the video ;) One question: in the rotation with barrage sometimes my rain of arrows won't completely reduce the cooldown, it would sometimes stay at like 3 seconds. Why is that ? I have 97 % cdr on the amu and 22 % cdr on the beasfall boots.
Ya, someone else caught me on that too. Go with what's on the planner. If you're going the beastfall route, make sure you're using Resourceful elixir like last season to hit 150 energy. This will solve your issue.
I have the setup with the Shard of VeraTheil sword and I am not getting any speeding up of CDR with Rain of Arrows at all. My rain of arrows is at a 9.5 sec CD, due to Amulet, but the it just stays at 9.5 sec was regardless if i use the sword or not. Only issue with this build is the 9sec CD. Any suggestions of what's the issue?
@RadCamper you have to spend energy for preparation to reduce the ultimate cooldown further. So basically just shoot heartseeker and cooldown will lower as you spend energy.
@@DiEoxidE I found that I was using the combo instead of Preparation. First time playing Rogue. After that fix, RoA is down to 3 sec, THANKS and great video.
Hey, I really like your Guide. Its well written and easy to understand! Playing your build since season start and its fun to play. I´ve got a question regarding the gloves tho. I was pretty lucky and dropped 4 GA Grasp of Shadow gloves with max rolled aspect. They seem to fit the build pretty nice since you almost always double cast ROA. But there seems to be a bug with them that the + to marksman and cutthroat skills doesnt really apply to anything. So basicly I am losing up to 100%x dmg after 9 casts of ROA but gain one extra ROA cast with each cast +355%+(2xMasterworked)Ultimate dmg + 5skills to ROA (since it is a marksman skill) [Even if i dont know why my skilltree doesnt show the +5] - In conclusion: I dont see any downsides in using grasp of shadow but maybe I am missing something out. Im not too much in theory crafting. Thanks for the build and have a great day! Edit: Figured out that the +5 only appear outside the city. Stupid me.
@tiphorius9012 ive tried grasp of shadows. Since it's just a chance for it to cast something, it's really inconsistent. Then they can also cast heartseeker and other things, so you never know when they'll actually get around to mimicking your rain of arrows. It felt pretty bad. I do plan on giving it a go again on live (my test was during ptr), so maybe they could have adjusted some things since then. Oh, and the clone doesn't get the skyhunter double cast bonus, so when they do cast, it's only one wave.
@@DiEoxidE Thanks for the answer. Yeah makes totally sense. I´ll be looking forward to your test :) What I can tell from testing is, that they work. But cant tell why excatly.
I had the same issue. On the character screen, between "Abilities" and Character, you will find the Specialization tab, Make sure the Specialization is Preparation and not the default Combo. slight overlook but got me as well.
So wanna start out by saying, you're the reason I loved arrow rouge in season 6. I may even build one for season seven after wolf pack druid. However why are you not using damage per dark shroud temper? I presume its additive with damage to distance, but I think it scales way harder. Love the build in general, but I think damage per shroud is an improvement.
We temper Damage vs Distant Enemies on gear due to our rank 5 Rain of Arrows Bonus giving us 80% of our Damage vs Distant Enemies stat as a separate multiplier on Rain of Arrows itself. This is a very powerful bonus. In short, damage vs distant becomes a multiplier for rain of arrows, which is far better than any additive damage you could get.
@DiEoxidE wait, both damage vs distance is multiplicative? Cos regardless of what additive source you add (damage vs distance tempered or damage per shroud) the gear (or from rain of arrows) damage to distance will still remain multiplicative
I don't know why the internet believes you can't play both games :). The season theme itself is actually a good time. I also play both and will continue to rotate to whichever has the freshest content/patch update.
@ I love Diablo 4 and I feel Poe2 lacks endgame atm but yeah there’s a massive divide of if ya play one ya can’t play the other Thinking of doing my usual cold twisting blades build soon 👍👍
This makes me want to do Rain of Arrows. I'm on DoK for the first time and loving it as well. About to use that shiny new Armory:) Why is Cowl BIS over the usual Shako?
Hello Dieoxide! Greetings from Brazil! Could you please create a Rogue build using Barrage + Windforce or an Andariel's Barrage guide? It would help me a lot because I'm lost this season... Thank you! 🥲
Once you have a GA roll on Rain of Arrows cooldown on Word of Hakan, you are CDR capped and can't lower the cooldown anymore from stats, making shako significantly weaker than the other helms. However, if you like it, then for sure go for it.

Brooo thank you!! I just needed this update! I was about to change it lol!
So how do you get the benefit of trick attacks? Do you need to throw grenades to stun?
If I do the try hard build do i have to change the paragon or anything too? Or just leave it as is

So I dont know if this build can be called endgame but ultra endgame instead, I'll try tho but it seems like you need your exact stuff to make the build work.
for the barrage and rain of arrows playstyle, where would you take our points from and do we enhance barrage ?
@StarStalkerGaming just one point into barrage is enough.
what do you do to help sustain resources
Let me specify, without the false death unique
Inntervention +2 on rings and ult cdr on neck kinda needs a GA.
@ appreciate that!
@DiEoxidE isn’t better to just use flurry in place of barrage that way it won’t take the precision since it’s cutthroat

I'm still finalizing my gear, but I typically only have to hit one Barrage to remove the CD on Ultimate, but I feel like I'm missing something because the Maxroll guide also says to use Versthiel and Heartseeker.
barrage consume you stack of precision

Great build, I'm doing it and adapting it until I can get right rolls and ga... one question, why distant damage on the rings instead of ultimate damage? Thanks
@leandronunes1826 ultimate damage is additive. Distant damage becomes a new multiplier for rain of arrows at rank 5.
On your Maxroll guide, Devious and Headhunter glyphs are swapped, different from this guide, which one should I use?
Good catch. Use what you see on the planner. Sorry about that.

hi! great build! we can use shaco and shroud one this build?
Shaco is definitely not worth it on this build.
In standard version (not tryhard) i think that raknaroth boots are a good item. Better then yen blessin... i'm wrong?
@maurohero980 technically yes. They both achieve the same thing, which is to get your resistances capped.

@pimpfighterROQ Dude you have the oldest UA-cam account I've ever seen.
I always find Rogue the most squishy among other classes, but I might give a thought of rolling one in this season. Hmmm.
when I take out barrage. Heartseeker does not affect the cooldown at all
@LeMiBu it does when you're using shard of verathiel.
That's cool DiE always finds a way to keep the kiting-archer archetype alive 😂
What about tibaults ? Damn i got a perfect one 4 ga max aspect, can use it in this build ?
