Rain of Arrows Rogue Endgame Build Guide

Last Updated: Jun 30, 2025 by Slaydra

About

This new variation of the Rain of Arrows archetype thrives on wide-area control, layering damage multipliers, and exploiting affix synergy. The newest season reworks have slightly altered the build, adding in Pentrating Shot to the build for more single target damage. We also focus in on freezing and cold damage mechanics to add more damage to the build and help with crowd control.

Gameplay Rotation

This build doesn't have a set rotation pattern, it is more about constantly moving and using Pentrating Shot as your opening hits, then spamming your Ultimate skill whenever it is available. The design of the build is to the Rain of Arrows Ultimate Skill in a state of spammability while you use your other skills debuff enemies and imbuements to support your Cold damage.
