Diablo 4 BEST Rogue Leveling Build for Season 6 Vessel Of Hatred - Dance of Knives Rogue Build

This Diablo 4 rogue leveling build for season 6 Vessel of Hatred is a Shadow and Ice Dance of Knives build. This build uses the the new skill for season 6 combine with imbuements and to deal huge AoE and burst damage.

The new ability we have for rogues is one of the strongest and fastest for leveling as it gives us massive damage, movement speed and requires no uniques or aspects to be powerful. Not only is this incredible for leveling, it performs well after 60 too.

Take the 3 points out of target practice and put them into siphon, you have 100% crit chance uptime with concealment so you don’t need the bonus crit chance and free healing when you crit is huge!

Also take the point out of the shadow skill that gives you energy on kill, none of the skills in the build use any energy :)

Just waiting for endgame build now. Love how this plays! Great vid man thanks !!!

This video was what made me decide to try the build. I love the energy, but after leveling with it I disagree with some of the choices:

- We get auto crit from Concealment so all points placed in crit chance are wasted. Concealment is the 'bottleneck' as we don't want to spin without the vulnerable and auto crit, thus, while leveling, I suggest maxing it early to lower its CD. On top of when we stop spinning because we ran out of charges we can use it to just hide as wait for DoK to finish recharging. As there will always be moments where we fight in tight places or get CCed or fight a wall-er elite I would still keep it maxed even at high level to not need to wait for its CD. Probably even see about tempers to reduce its CD if there are any.
- I took poison for ST and shadow for AoE, but, discovered that the aspect is mindboggling powerful. Once I got it I ditched Shadow aspect as it was no longer needed for AoE and then put all those points from crit chances mentioned above into poison as, IMO, it does an eff ton of damage, adds 15% attack speed, another 9% (poison) damage, plus 75% increased poison on crits which we always do and mobs doing 15% less damage. Aspect of Bursting Venoms and Aspect of Corruption might be interesting to play with.
- Cold Imbuement does no damage to begin with and does not have all those perks but it does CC all mobs and makes a mockery out of a bosses' CC bar. Since I don't feel I am lacking in damage any more I'll try this for a while. Edit: after playing around with it while it Is visually satisfying and it does break a boss' CC bar quickly but it just lacks the raw damage of poison.
- Victimize is more of endgame thing IMO. Momentum adds a perma 30% movement speed (and damage reduction, and 50% damage) which is a lot more useful during leveling. I think in the end game Victimize will probably take over though but this is a leveling build. By level 25-ish I had perma DoK. Varyana's first point giving movement speed plays well for dense content.

DoK is super nice. I could start using it at level 1 (well, with the XP and the altars we start at 11) and it only gets better as we add more and more movement speed. I now move so fast and do so much damage that I don't use my horse. That's right, Concealment, Poison Imbuement, and then I spin to where ever I want to go and kill everything along the way :D Time to move to the third difficulty (still level 30 atm and only DoK's aspect has been found).

This build can go as far as T2. You can do T3, but just every one else does it better than you. From T3 and up, it becomes a victimize build if you absolutely have to keep it, but note that you'll be crowd controlled like hell, and the mobility of DoK loses its advantage.

this reminds me of D3 demon hunter gears of the dreadland playstyle 😮

Everybody saying this build is op, but there is nobody on youtube has footage of playing it in Torment 4 ... I don't understand. Is it just for leveling?

[nathankrassow]

Im at Lvl 50 and the Star Shards aspect hasnt dropped yet

[XimoXThe]

question, did you testb this at least on T2 on 35+ pits and the rest? Pits 20/25 are super easy.
