Shadow Step Rogue Endgame Build Guide for Diablo IV Season 12 - Slaughter

• Zoom through the map with Shadow Step. Shadow Step is your main damage skill. Prioritize Elite enemies with your Shadow Steps to take them down before they can act.
• Caltrops applies Chill for Frigid Finesse, and increases your damage dealt against tough Elites and Bosses.
• Poison Trap triggers Alchemical Advantage, and gives you a damage boost through Subverting Poison Trap.
• Smoke Grenade is only used for the 25% damage amplification through Enhanced Smoke Grenade.
• Dark Shroud is your main defensive tool. It provides massive amounts of Damage Reduction and increases your Movespeed. We gain stacks of Dark Shroud from Umbrous.
• Shadow Imbuement is allocated because Assassin's Stride automatically triggers it. This works for your Shadow Clone even without Imitated Imbuement!
• Shadow Clone should be used on Cooldown, as it is a massive damage amplifier and resets all of your other Cooldowns.

You should aim to hit targets in the middle of a pack to cleave them down efficiently.

• Cast Shadow Clone immediately upon seeing enemies.
• Cast Caltrops, Smoke Grenade, and Poison Trap against tough elites and bosses.
• Cast Shadow Step to Cleave down mobs.
  • This hit will reset your Shadow Step CD through the Disciplined Shadow Step upgrade with enough CDR.
  • With Assassin's Stride, all of your Shadow Steps will be imbued with Shadow Imbuement and apply Mixed Shadow Imbuement.
• You always want to use Shadow Clone as soon as it is ready to reset all of your other cooldowns and to activate many of its damage bonuses, such as No Witnesses. The Clone itself also significantly contributes to your damage output.

• Assassin's Stride makes your Shadow Step permanently imbued with Shadow Imbuement, as well as giving you insane cooldown reduction for Shadow Step.
• Asheara's Khanjar gives you ranks to Weapon Mastery, and much-needed attack speed to generate barriers from Second Wind in combination with the YulQax runeword.
