The Rogue class in Diablo 4 is as agile as it is lethal. What it lacks in staying power, it makes up for in speed and extreme burst damage. Fans of speedy and sneaky playstyles with bows and daggers have a lot to look forward to with this class, and it only gets better later in the game.
Building a Rogue from scratch can be very confusing, considering how many of its passive skills rely on inflicting status ailments. To help players who are new to this class, here are some of the best Legendary Aspects they can use for the Rogue in Diablo 4.
1 Bladedancer's Aspect
It would be a crime not to mention this Aspect for one of the Rogue's strongest Core Skills. Bladedancer's Aspect makes Twisting Blades spin around the player for a short duration after returning while also increasing its return damage. This enables the Skill to wipe long conga lines of enemies or even entire rooms when combined with Shadow Imbuement.
Players can grab Bladedancer's Aspect by completing the Jalal's Vigil dungeon in northeastern Scosglen. Like every other Legendary Aspect, this can also drop randomly from chests and monsters, often with higher stat rolls as well.
2 Ravager's Aspect
This Legendary Aspect gives Shadow Step an additional charge, extra damage on-kill, and the ability to refresh its own charges whenever it kills an enemy. This makes it a great repositioning tool in fights with a lot of trash mobs or against elites with AOE attacks. Pair this with Aspect of Synergy to deal even more Shadow Step damage.
Ravager's Aspect is not included in the Codex of Power, which means players will have to get lucky with their loot drops. It can roll only on Boots and Amulets.
3 Aspect of Quickening Fog
Quickening Fog causes the Rogue to drop a free Smoke Grenade at the tail end of their Dash ability. The bomb Dazes all enemies hit, leaving them unable to attack and opening them up to the Rogue's lethal passive skills. This will inherit any other effect that enhances Smoke Grenade, including its Skill Upgrades and the Explosive Verve Aspect.
Unfortunately, this cannot be unlocked in the Codex of Power. It can drop randomly on legendary weapons, gloves, rings, and amulets.
4 Ravenous Aspect
Ravenous increases the Rogue's Energy Regeneration Rate significantly after killing a Vulnerable target, and it just so happens that many of this class' best builds involve making enemies Vulnerable all the time. This is a super simple yet extremely effective Aspect that players should always consider taking, especially those who like using the Combo Points and Preparation Specializations.
Players can unlock Ravenous Aspect by clearing the Shifting City dungeon in the Dry Steppes with any character.
5 Aspect of Surprise
This is a utility/defensive Aspect that causes Stun Grenades to drop every time the Rogue Evades or uses Dash. The grenades do a bit of damage, but the important part here is the Crowd Control part, as it gives Rogues an accessible Stun for the sake of proccing their many passives against Crowd-Controlled enemies.
Aspect of Surprise cannot be unlocked in the Codex of Power. Players must use random drops or extract this power from legendary gloves, weapons, or accessories.
Skill-Specific Aspect Recommendations
Some of the best Legendary Rogue Aspects are laser-focused on improving specific abilities. The ones listed above might not fit into most players' builds, so here are a few more that revolve around the class' Core Skills.
- Twisting Blades: Volatile Blades
- Flurry: Encircling Blades
