Welcome to our endgame Rogue tier list for Diablo 4 Season 3. Season of the Construct brings many new additions to the game, the highlight of which is the new Seneschal Companion, which allows you to add and modify different abilities for it, creating some interesting build opportunities. Along with that, there are new endgame activities, including the new Arcane Tremor events, Vault Dungeons, and a brand new endgame boss called Malphas. In order to have the best experience during Season 3, we recommend using these builds for the Rogue Class.
These builds have been selected based on how effective they are at clearing World Tier 3 and 4 content in Diablo 4. Damage, survivability, and clear speed are going to be the main characteristics we are going to be considering while comparing each build. With all that said, here are the best endgame Rogue builds for Diablo 4 Season 3.

C Tier Rogue Builds For Diablo 4 Season 3
Flurry Rogue is a very fast-paced melee build, making it a perfect league starter as it requires little to no specific items for it to be effective. While this build does not compete with the other mentions on this list, keep in mind that most of them are something you will respec into in the later stages of the game. In terms of damage output, Flurry is going to be consistent enough to handle most of the low-to-mid-level Nightmare Dungeons but will fall off quickly towards the middle stages of the endgame. Regardless of its comparison to other builds, we decided to list Flurry as we recommend trying it out before committing to a more gear-dependent build.

- Bossing:⭐⭐⭐

| Pros | Cons |
| Great Entry Build | Mediocre Clear Speed |

B Tier Rogue Builds For Diablo 4 Season 3
The second build on our list is for those who enjoy the trap playstyle of the Rogue Class. The Death Trap build allows you to throw down many traps, applying a ton of different status effects to your enemies and finishing them off with Twisting Blades. This build got nerfed a bit in Season 3, as the Twisting Blades skill's effectiveness was reduced, but it is still one of the best options for the Rogue class. The build has amazing clear speed for Nightmare Dungeons and open-world content, destroying packs of monsters while staying mobile with a ton of movement speed and dashes. Trap-based builds can be a bit awkward for some players to get used to, so we do believe Death Trap can be an acquired taste.
- Nightmare Dungeons: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Bossing:⭐⭐⭐
- Speed Clearing:⭐⭐⭐⭐
| Pros | Cons |
| Good Clear Speed | Mediocre Damage |
| Fun to Play | Requires Positioning |
| Very Mobile |

A Tier Rogue Builds For Diablo 4 Season 3
Our first ranged build on the list is going to be the Barrage Rogue. Barrage is a skill that shoots out 5 arrows in an arc, doing massive damage to all enemies in front of you. It is a versatile build that is a bit of a hybrid, as you are technically using a ranged skill, but most of the time you will find yourself in melee range. This can create some complications, especially in terms of survivability, as it is much better to be further away from your enemies. The build did not receive any significant changes in Season 3, but some changes did happen to most of the unique bows and crossbows, so there could be some potential there. This is yet another Rogue build that does not require any specific gear for it to be viable, so we can definitely recommend trying out Barrage for the first few weeks of Season 3.

| Pros | Cons |
| Great AoE Damage | Resource Starved |

The Rapid Fire Rogue is a build that deals massive amounts of single-target damage, capable of clearing any content in the game, including level 100 Nightmare Dungeons and Uber Bosses. Often dubbed as the 'Machine Gun' build for the class, you are going to be firing bursts of arrows at your enemies, quickly depleting their health bars. This build lacks in the way of AoE clearing capabilities and is often slower in terms of clear speed compared to most of the other builds on this list, but if you are looking for pure single-target damage, then there is no equal. With some gear investment, this becomes one of the best builds in the game for farming Uber Bosses for Uniques. If all of this is appealing to you, give the Rapid Fire build a try during Season 3!

S Tier Rogue Builds For Diablo 4 Season 3
Twisting Blades has been the go-to build for any Rogue player that planned on tackling the most difficult content in the game for the last 2 seasons. While this might still be the case going forward, Twisting Blades got hit with significant nerfs for Season 3. The amount of blades that rotate around your character has been reduced from 3 to 2, which will heavily reduce your damage output over time. While this sounds like a big nerf, the build was so far ahead of the rest of the options for the Rogue class, that even now we believe it might still be the best build in the game. If you enjoy a fast-paced playstyle with a ton of action-per-minute, jumping from pack to pack and obliterating enemies with your blades spinning around you, it's still a good time to try out the Twisting Blades Rogue build.
- Nightmare Dungeons: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Bossing:⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Speed Clearing:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
| Pros | Cons |
| Great AoE Damage | Mediocre Survivability |
| Great Burst Damage | Requires Positioning |
| Very Mobile | High APM |

The Penetrating Shot Rogue is one of the strongest and most fun builds available to the class. If Rapid Fire was dubbed the 'Machine Gun' build, then Pen Shot is the 'Shotgun' variation. You will be firing one massive piercing arrow that will annihilate anything in its wake, with a very satisfying sound effect to boot. While this build was already really strong in previous seasons, it actually got buffed for Season 3.
The way the skill scales got changed in a minor way, and our key passive called Precision also received a buff, granting you increased Critical Strike Chance as well as more Spirit. All of this combined with the fact that some of the Unique bows have been reworked is the perfect storm for this becoming the premier build available for Rogues in Season 3. If you are looking for a satisfying ranged playstyle that will be able to do short work of all of the content available in the game, make sure to check out the Penetrating Shot Rogue!
- Nightmare Dungeons: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

| Pros | Cons |
| Amazing AoE Damage | Mediocre Survivability |
