I’m currently running a poison Rogue build (lvl 39) with the following abilities:

Actives:

  • Primary Forceful Arrow
  • Advanced Twisting Blades
  • Methodical Dash
  • Countering Poison Trap
  • Rain of Arrows
  • Poison Imbuement

Passives:

  • Exposure
  • Weapon Mastery
  • Deadly Venom

Admittedly I am following a guide from Gamespot because I’m not smart enough to find the most efficient path for most damage. Often I find that my sorcerer friends take down enemies a ton quicker but it could be because I’m not playing my class correctly yet.

Any recommendations or just want to share your other class builds?

    I’m doing a Druid and not looking at build guides, just doing what seems fun. I use Storm Strike and the Werewolf core ability with various synergies that cause them to build off of each other. I’m only around level 25 but it’s a lot of fun so far.

    Something I have found immensely useful is the filter on the activity panel, top-right of it. Being able to easily highlight for eample abilities that does something with vulnerability gives me so much better overview. Really helps me determine where to put the points when I’m too lazy to tab to a guide.

    Aöso Fextralife have a bunch of build guides.

    Hey! This is great, thanks for starting a topic.

    I’ve been playing as a druid, following the icy builds leveling guide, https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/druid/builds/. (check out the rogue one if you haven’t)

    I have been following it on and off, lots of respecs depending on what items drop. Pulverize is super powerful especially if you can pick up some passives and gear.

    I’m jumping to create a rogue right now, looking forward to trying to actually keep up with playing a season in July.

    I couldn’t resist making a corpse explosion necro. I used my own way to get to 50. Once I got to 50 I looked up some tips to optimize what I did and went with shadow damage.

      It might make sense for me to wait until I get to 50 as well. After I read these awesome suggestions, I went into the game and it looks like it would cost me $26,000 just to respec. I don’t like that the game makes experimentation prohibitive, but then again I don’t know how precious money drops will get heading into end game.
