The Rogue in Diablo 4 has access to 23 different skills in six categories. Additionally, certain skills also have a “combo effect” if the Rogue uses the Combo Points Specialization, as well as two upgrades that improve the skills in a variety of ways.
For a detailed list of Rogue passives, refer to our Rogue Passive Talents page.
Basic Skills are spammable skills that only deal a small amount of damage, and are used to apply debuffs or to regenerate Energy. For Rogues who want to make good use of the Combo Points Specialization, using Basic Skills is the only way to generate said Combo Points.
