A Complete Rogue Guide (Lvl 47 cleared Torment)
Overview:
Rogue is commonly believed to be one of the strongest characters. She deals tons of damages. None of her abilities are useless. But her drawbacks include a high dependency on bows, and a weak mana point. That’s why we need a Sorcerer for farming and sharing weapons with her. Besides bows, she needs a high percentage of life steal / mana steal per hit. An ideal level should be >10% for each. Attack speed is more important than DPS, because it determines the frequency of life steal and it keeps enemies from getting close.
Add most points in DEX and a certain amount in STR. No need to add points in VIT and MAG.
Normal difficulty
1. Because I didn’t add points in VIT, I used items that add HP in early game.
2. There’re 5 quests you should complete. Basically quests that award you with attribute points.
a) The infestation of worms. Need to reach level 5. Get +5 points once complete
b) Black mushroom. Need to reach level 9. Get +3 points to all attributes
c) The anvil of fury. Need to reach level 10. Crafting prerequisite
d) The island of sunless sea. Need to reach level 12. Step on stones in the order of South, North, East, West to open the secret tunnel. Get +5 points
e) Lost treasure. Need to reach level 13. Get +3 points to all attributes
3. DO NOT complete “Chamber of bone” at level 6 and “Horazon’s sanctum” at level 8 for now. Those are quests that levels up your Guardian and Golem spell respectively. Learn the spells through books and come back for those quests in later stages.
4. Killing Diablo can be done using guided arrow behind a corner. Summon a Golem for distraction also helps. Better to have fire and lightning resist > 70%
5. I cleared normal at around lvl 27
Nightmare difficulty
1. Towards the end of nightmare it’s better to find Bow of the Dead. This bow attacks fast, ignores target’s defense, and steals mana on hit. You can use this bow all the way until Torment
2. Another bow worth trying is the Demon Machine. It’s a one-hand weapon, which means you can equip a shield to boost defense. Another highlight is 57% piercing attack.
3. Need to collect items that add life/mana steals.
4. Killing Diablo isn’t too hard. I used a similar tactic as normal.
5. Cleared nightmare at character level 32
Hell difficulty
1. Bow of the Dead is still very useful. Another bow worth giving a shot is the below one. It offers 100% piercing attack, very handy when attacking waves of monsters. This bow shoots super fast, with a +69% increased attach speed. It also reduces target cold resistance to a great amount while dealing cold damage.
2. She better has a >15% life steal on hit. Mana steal should be sufficient to maintain usage
3. Killing Diablo isn’t easy. Besides shooting guided arrows from behind corners, I summoned Golem for distraction while shooting Sightless Eye like crazy.
4. I cleared hell at level 43
Torment difficulty
1. Use items that boost MAG, and elixir of magic, to learn Golem and Guardian as much as possible, before go back to finish quests in level 6 and 8 in each previous difficulty. I was able to achieve Golem at level 12, enough for a temporal stand
2. Upgrade to Heartseeker bow helped a lot. I saw some other players using Eaglerhorn as well.
3. Facing Diablo, I summoned Golem whenever it’s life is low. It’s important to keep Diablo turn its back on you all the time, lest you get instant killed. I spammed Eightless Eye with insanity cast behind Diablo.
4. Cleared torment at level 47
Stat
A DPS around 2500, can be boost to around 2800 using elixirs. Attack speed is at 166%. I also have a 21% life steal and 6% mana steal. Crit hit chance is 69% with a crit damage of 186%
Items
1. The well-known heartseeker. It attacks fast, steals life, and ignores target’s defense. Mine only gives a +23% to crit hit chance (limit is +33%). But it’s surely enough!
2. I choose Dragonslayer as my armor. It has +18% increased attach speed, with a high AC and fire resist. +45% faster hit recovery is also a plus
3. I used a set item for my belt. Despite it’s only one piece, +20 all attributes and +27% all resist are good enough
4. Both of my rings carry a 6% life steal, one of them also has a 6% mana steal. Therefore adding 9% life steal from heartseeker, I have a total life steal of 21%
