Overview
Daniel showcases a stealth assassin Rogue build focusing on concealment, traps, kiting, and damage over time to handle large groups of enemies while evading incoming damage.
The build features skills such as Invigorating Strike, Twisted Blades, Dash, Concealment, Poison Trap, Death Trap, and the Exposure key passive, intentionally omitting weapon imbuements to minimize close-quarters melee combat against dangerous targets.
While offering strong area-of-effect damage and crowd control against trash mobs, the build faces limited single-target boss damage because bosses resist or remain immune to slows and stuns.
