The Rogue in Diablo 4 waylays hostiles by using lightning-fast attacks and nimble movement. Apart from the skills that you can use, there are also talents that provide some boons that synergize with your playstyle. Here’s our Diablo 4 Rogue talents overview guide to help you with the perks that you can unlock and select.
Diablo 4 Rogue talents
The Diablo 4 Rogue talents, similar to other classes, use a tier grouping system. You can unlock certain options upon spending some talent points, and a few can also be upgraded further. We’ve enumerated them below, noting the possible upgrades and connected nodes. Likewise, you’ll want to look at each passive’s effect. There are those that provide buffs to actions in general, while others are tailored for specific builds. A few are even related to the Imbuement system, where you can infuse abilities with poison, shadow, or cold damage.
