Flurry Rogue Specialization
The go-to specialization for Rogue farming is Combo Points, thanks to the exhilarating burst damage playstyle of Flurry Rogue. Unleash extra damage for Flurry by accumulating Combo Points with the help of Puncture.
Rewritten Inner Sight, a versatile specialization, can be strategically adopted during lengthy encounters with powerful adversaries such as World Bosses. By inflicting substantial damage, you accelerate the replenishment of your Inner Sight Gauge, granting you boundless Energy for a brief period of 4 seconds. This specialization particularly favors formidable characters, enabling them to unleash a greater number of Flurries.
Paragon
The Paragon progression system becomes accessible once reaching level 50, bestowing upon characters an immense reservoir of power. Within the Paragon Board, players can uncover a multitude of bonuses, ranging from modest enhancements found in the Magic Nodes to the awe-inspiring might of Rare Glyphs and Legendary Nodes.
As you embark on your journey to unveil the secrets of Glyph Sockets and Legendary Nodes, it is crucial to give precedence to unleashing the power of Damage, Dexterity, Resistance, and Life when it comes to Normal and Magic Nodes. The radius of the Glyph expands as you progress and enhance it. Hence, if you find yourself unable to meet the prerequisites for Additional Bonuses in the initial stages, it is wise to temporarily forgo allocating extra nodes.

Mechanics and Playstyle
Playing the Flurry Rogue build is a delightful breeze. Flurry evolves into a mighty sweeping technique, particularly when combined with the enchanting Aspect of Encircling Blades, transforming it into a mesmerizing whirlwind that engulfs the player’s surroundings.
The potency of destruction escalates exponentially when engaging in Close Quarters Combat, harnessing the force of Concussive impact, mastering various weapons, skillfully exploiting vulnerabilities, and embracing the essence of Malice.
Life’s sustenance is achieved by harnessing the power of Agile, Robust, and Crippling Poisons, while revitalizing vitality with Siphoning Strikes and Empowered Frenzy.
At long last, the Stutter Step and Haste abilities enhance mobility, allowing for swift farming. The battlefield is effortlessly traversed with the aid of two dynamic skills: Dash and Shadow Step.
Given Flurry’s abundance of AoE devastation to swiftly eliminate groups, the choice of Poison Imbuement surpasses that of Shadow Imbuement, as it amplifies the potential for inflicting substantial single target harm.
The Poison Trap ability is not solely focused on causing damage; rather, it possesses the power to induce a Knockdown effect when coupled with the Enhanced Poison Trap enhancement. Employ a strategic rotation between Poison Trap and Poison Imbuement to continuously afflict adversaries with the venomous effects.
Status Effects
The Flurry Rogue employs a multitude of status effects to subdue adversaries. With a single Basic attack, Fundamental Puncture effortlessly inflicts Vulnerable upon a targeted foe. Subsequently, executing Improved Flurry disseminates Vulnerable to all adversaries within the area of effect. When engaging in group dynamics, ensure that this debuff is imposed upon entire clusters of enemies, enabling your comrades to unleash 20% more devastating damage!
When adversaries become vulnerable, the Mangler’s Aspect possesses a fortuitous opportunity to bewilder them with a Lucky Hit. Delivering critical blows to dazed foes results in their swift downfall through cunning Trick Attacks, thereby triggering the activation of Concussive for an amplified likelihood of Critical Strikes.
Inflict amplified damage upon afflicted foes who are poisoned, vulnerable, dazed, stunned, or under your control by equipping gear and utilizing the Paragon Board, thus enhancing the potency of your attacks.
Damage Rotation
Maximize your DPS by implementing the subsequent rotation.
Gear Choice and Stat Priority in the Endgame
When you’re out there farming with the Flurry Rogue, don’t forget to grab all those Rare Item drops that could potentially boost your gear. As for those truly extraordinary Legendary Items, store them away safely in your stash. They possess valuable qualities that can be extracted and imprinted onto exceptionally rolled Rare Items at a later time.
When it comes to weapons of comparable item levels, the choice leans towards Swords over Daggers for their heightened impact and the inherent prowess of Critical Strike Damage. Should one opt for the mighty Condemnation, it is imperative to wield a Legendary Sword alongside it. As for ranged weapons, the measure of DPS becomes inconsequential, thus emphasizing the significance of affix values. In this regard, Crossbows take precedence over Bows, owing to their remarkable proficiency in dealing Vulnerable Damage.
