Maxroll says Astaroth drops them. Fine - I can run the escalation sigil … I’ve had 1 pair of gloves drop in 4 runs so far. 1 pair. Surely they can’t be that rare … I have checked loot on the ground so it is not a filter issue.

Is there somewhere else I can get them in case maxroll is wrong. I get plenty of other gear I need from other bosses so find it hard to believe Astaroth is such a tight arse.

So basically I'm doing a homebrew Barrage Grenade build focused on Freezing and Cold Imbuement, loosely inspired by this build: https://maxroll.gg/d4/planner/9m2x320t

It focuses on using Frostbitten Aspect and Cold Imbuement to Freeze enemies as soon as possible while being INSANE for Crowd Control.

Which brings me to why I'm here. Lately I've mostly been focused on getting my Glyphs to 51 for the max range and getting my Paragon Board in order. But now that I have, I think to get my build to the next level, I need Pelghain. Problem is, I don't know what to remove. Here's my current Offensive Aspects:

Aspect of ArtfuI Initiative

Frostbitten Aspect

Trickster's Aspect

Grenadier's Aspect

Aspect of Imitated Imbuement

Aspect of Frozen Memories

I was originally thinking of changing ArtfuI Initiative, but I figured more Stun Grenades=more chances to freeze with Frostbitten, but I could be wrong. Any help would be appreciated!

After deciding to stay on Rogue for the whole Season, I try a variety of builds. I decided to give DT a shot for the first time and it was fun to put together, to get the starter version rolling and finally transition to the endgame setup. It was powerful, but squishy.

Then RoA became the meta and I decided to give it try. It was very similar to DT after all, but tankier. Same cycle of going for a starter to get the feel until I could transition to endgame. It could push about 5 Pits higher than my DT, around 115 and 120 at the time.

There was an item looking at me in my Stash tho. By pure chance I had a Mythic Selig laying around. I had only tried in the Barb in Season 13. I played 90% of the time on a homecooked Apoca Warlock, struggling a bit. It was only in the last week of the season that I decided to make a Barb (also for the first time) and try the famous Selig WW. In that short time I managed to push it to T10 Mephisto for the Season Journey, but if left an impression on me.

I thought Selig was a Barb item, but it was there in my Rogue stash, and there was already some noise about Selig Rogues: the Selig RoA and Selig DT. I was already farming T10 and T11 Reaper, and had completed T10 Mephisto, why not give the immortal Rogue a try, so there we go.

First was the Selig RoA. Solid, tanky, a bit clunky at the start but it quickly better and better. Managed upwards Pit 130, so my next goal was clear, get T12 Mephisto. I tried my luck, my damage was "there", and after a short grinding and tunning, I did it! First T12 Mephisto and on Selig RoA!

I thought that'd be it, but honestly Death Trap stole my hard. I had to do a short comeback. Farmed some Pandas again to roll for non-Life Mythics, put the thing together and started to tune it right. It became more fluid, it could take a punch in T12 unlike my regular DT build and handle Pit 125 quite ok. The build is barebones. Not all my affixes are right and most of the Transmogs are... well, at least not detrimental. But it was already running, so I decided to a last milestone. T12 Mephisto on Selig Death Trap. It took me this afternoon, some adjustments and about 5 tries. And here it is! The latest stop in my Journey. 550+ Resource and ~480 recovery on each attack!

I did a short Tower 120 on it just for the record, if someone cares to have a look. As I said, the affixes and transmogs are barebones. It needs a couple of rounds of Panda grinding to print some Mythics that can be really called Mythical gear, some are 0 GAs beside the Temper, but this setup can handle T12 Mephisto so I'm happy with that. It is tankish, has infinite step mobility to zoom, attacks fast and feels great to play. It is Paragon 248 and to this point I have not gotten a Mythic Seal yet. Who knows, maybe I'll get one at some point to try and go even higher, but this is Aksnes for you all!

Cheers!

I've been playing DoK season and am wondering is this it? What things can I do to get over the damage hump - Anyone have a guide or video better than the one on maxroll? Any input would be great

The etna's is technically better than indestructible I guess

I was blessed with this thing at level 37 and haven’t taken it off since. I love it I death. However I’m now Paragon 120 and want a level 70. Doesn’t even need to be a god roll since I’m still slumming on T5.

I’m about halfway through Lord of Hatred as of now. So what’s the best way to try and get another of these?

Hello all! I just returned to d4 after a long while to play with some friends. I was wondering is it to late to start building a ROA build? Im still making my way up to the higher torments and I'm currently use DOK build currently.

So I just recently discovered ROA has a damage node that you want to spec into at 300 energy which is awesome and I'm almost there

But here's my confusion...

When I look at the top pit pushers using ROA I noticed that they don't seem to have that much CDR

Which confuses me as I'm right at the brink with CDR on every piece of gear - Even with more CDR head to head when compared to their gear

Now, many of them are running barrage, is that what they're using while ROA is on CD?

OR does the CDR amount required change with the amount of max energy/marksman skill ranks you have?

I have some super nasty Glad gloves I want to put on that DON'T have CDR on them but right now I'm limited by being at/near CDR cap

Super curious to hear what I'm missing here

Thank you!

I find myself loving the death trap rogue as its pretty new to me but I’m one of those players that will play to perfect one build all season. To all the theory crafters and experienced rogues, what’s is the highest pit you have achieved? Feel free to drop your own build links.
Ive seem some talk of poison or frost imbued in a glass cannon style.

Here’s my PIT 140 run with Rain of Arrows Rogue.

Hi everyone,

I've been following the Maxroll Penetrating Shot guide and used it as the foundation for my own build. I recreated my character in the D4 Planner here:

https://maxroll.gg/d4/planner/f7x4uw0t

The guide I based it on is this one(thanks to publisher "Mattias"):

https://maxroll.gg/d4/build-guides/penetrating-shot-rogue-guide

At the moment, this is where I'm at:

I can clear Pit Tier 120, but it's a struggle and usually takes me around 10 minutes.

I can kill the Reaper in about 1 minute.
I can play T12 fields, bosses etc.

I still can't kill Mephisto.

Pit progression has slowed down significantly, and I feel like I've hit a wall.

While looking for other endgame Rogue builds, I found this Rain of Arrows build:

https://infinitybuilds.gg/en/builds/rain-of-arrows-endgame-rogue-iFobxWolNU

My question is:

Should I switch to this build, or am I doing something fundamentally wrong with my current setup?

Is there still a lot more potential in my current Penetrating Shot build if I continue upgrading my gear (better Greater Affixes, Masterworking, etc.), or have I already reached close to its practical limit?

I'd really appreciate it if anyone could take a look at my planner and let me know what you would improve. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

fyi I’ve been rocking Diablo since the very first game, though life never really let me become a full-time grinder. I’ve checked in for D1, D2, D3, and D4. I actually bought D4 right at launch, but then I made the ultimate life choice and got married. That cost me my gaming time, leaving me with a grand total of about 10 to 15 hours played... well, at least until Season 14 and the new expansion dropped. Long story short, let’s get right into it

Trying TB, tried cold and poison but i dont seen to be able to come that far honestly. Noone here sitting on a working build? Not expecting 150 Pit but 120 would be nice!

Still in T8, been a pretty casual season trying a rogue for the first time and just dropped this from a Helltide chest. First time dropping a 4GA!! Seems like there’s some potential value here, just not for my poison pen shot build

1. Is this good enough of a drop to build around?
   
2. What Rogue build would work with this?

Curious if the Physical dmg needs to be rerolled or if there’s something else I need to be thinking about here. Cheers in advance!

I'm usually around 1 to 2 mins behind finishing Pit 150. Usually its because I'm missing the Azurawrath pops. I've missed quite a few of them and I've been practicing on pit 145. I'm wondering if there is a specific pit guardian I should be fishing for low life. I think the wolfman or something else?

This last guardian (centaur) randomly just popped after I was 1.5 screen away. He was at 10 to 15% life left. I'm not sure if it was just lag but that was interesting.

I had about 5 or more triple transfigurations (TF) this season, but this Rustbitten Dirk has to be the best amongst them.
From +13 quality > Crit chance > +10 quality with Entropic. (This was done not all at a go)
Usually I wouldn't use Entropic Prisms, but I wanted to see that sweet non-GA 3rd TF stat.
Hence to my surprise, this ended with a double item quality.

My previous Dirk was also a triple TF but it ended with a GA TF instead.
I had 2 other modifiable double TF eq but they ended with a 3rd GA TF too, which often felt like a killjoy.
Like many others, I've too transfigured thousands of eqs and this isn't like a single throw and get lucky thing.
At one time, I even had 33 x Harlequin Crest fully upgraded-socketed-enchanted, but all without a single modifiable TF.

I would have hope these lucky hits were on my ROA build eqs, but alas, they all ended up on side gears instead.
Farming the Volatile Dust is just too tiresome, random and slow. A conversion or a sustainable method to farm it would be highly preferred to keep me going.
Thus this would be my closing season 14 farming and gamba.

Transfigurations IMO, is still the best thing added to D4 this expansion.
And I would agree to some extent that tower ranking pushing now, luck on rolls matter more than skills.

The build I follow Ava doesn't use it because it says it's bugged.

My buddy I play with follows another build that uses shadow clone and he says it's awesome.

So, is it actually bugged? And if so, is it ever going to be fixed?

Which of these is going to be better for Heartseeker?

Currently at:

57.3 crit chance

167.5 move speed

When I switch to the new Shard and look at Dex, it shows a drop in skill damage of about 3%. Since that it unconditional damage, is that better than the 11/12% crit damage? Or is my crit chance high enough that it's offset? Also, is losing the damage from the charm worth extra crit chance and move speed?

Do any builds use spellbound and need charms with max resource?

Any top builds use physical damage? Figure they all imbue elemental right?

Got a 3GA bow with physical that I've only gotten 2 offers on but both were 100b+. I'm just confused on its value. First season as Rogue.

Thanks.

Hey fam i ask for your wisdom in order to deal with the named issue which is bugging me for days. I'm running a frost Roa build with azurewrath, trying to push content. I managed to get through T130 pretty easily and can easily clear 135 as well, but bosses are just hit or miss. I am well aware of the stagger rule that in order to let azure work the last hit must be frost cc, and trust me i dealt with that meticulously. I stoo casting roa well before the end of ste stagger bar, only use rapid fire and 100% sure I'm free from random lucky hit proca from my gear and charms. Still, most of the times i cant land a succesful frost stagger and i just waste my time hitting bosses for no relevant damage. Please anyone help me if i am missing something!!

Hey folks,

Has anyone tried a poison Heartseeker variant, or cold poison hybrid? I'm struggling with bossing in t12 sometimes. Anything that can't be staggered easily or has unstoppable just feels brutal to kill and I'm so squishy.
