The Rogue has been blessed to have a wideassortment of leveling buildsto use, and the leveling build I am about to present to you now is one of the best ones. If you’re starting Diablo 4 as a Rogue and you’re looking to level efficiently, take a load off, grab a snack, and get ready for the only guide you’re gonna need.
Level 50 Rogue Build for Diablo 4
Playing the Rogue in Diablo 4 is all about mobility. Everything you do comes with the added bonus of being quick, meaning there’s little need to stop and make you vulnerable to attacks. Thus, the build I recommend most for leveling is a build I like to call “Arcane Archer.”
“Arcane Archer”' focuses mostly on using Imbuements to augment your attacks for different situations. You want to useShadow Imbuementfor dealing with large groups of enemies andPoison Imbuementfor bosses. Additionally, you’ll be using theForceful ArrowBasic skill in conjunction withPenetrating Shotas your spender. The final two skills you’ll want to use areConcealmentandDash. These two skills add much-needed utility and defense to your offense-heavy arsenal.

This build is extremely potent for leveling because of how efficient it is for dealing with AOE and Boss encounters from a distance. You’re always safe, and you have a tool to deal with every situation you’re able to be put in. Even the Butcher, should he surprise you in a dungeon run, becomes fodder for you due to the overall setup. The build is effective beyond 50, but once you reach that point, feel free to change into the Twisting Blades meta build for endgame content.
Skill Points Progression
Now, let’s break down the build for absolute clarity, starting at the top of the skill tree:

This selection of skills and passives provides you with significant bonuses to critical strikes, especially ones that come from Poison-imbued skills. Almost everything relates, in some way, to Critical Strikes, so it is one of your most important stats as well. Mobility, Imbuement, and Critical Strikes are your friends with this build.
Build Rotations and Specialization
The Arcane Archer build builds upon itself as you gain Skill Points and levels. As such, allow me to break down your general rotation from the beginning all the way up till the build is completed.
This marks the end of the rotation. All other skill points are for improving your existing skills and gaining additional passives to improve effectiveness. Here is a specific breakdown of the build’s entire rotation against AOE encounters and Single Target encounters:

How to level fast in Diablo 4 Season of Construct
Season of Construct is heavily focused on theSensechal,a companion obtained through the completion of the early Season of Construct’s main storyline. This companion is strong by default, but as you progress the season you’ll be able to enhance the Sensechal Companion withGoverningandTuningStones. These are key to improving the effectiveness of your seasonal companion, which willmassively speed up your leveling speed.
Unlike the previous season in Diablo 4, there are no quests in Season 3 that are locked behind the completion of Seasonal Chapters. As such, story progress should go much smoother, and your leveling process will be faster than the norm.Additionally, with theTree of Whispersbuffed up via additional experience a few patches ago, it is now a viable path for fast leveling in Season of Construct, along with the new seasonal content that is Elemental Vaults.
