In this guide, I want to talk about a rogue bug that has appeared in Diablo 4 this season, and I think many players are already aware of it. However, I believe this is still worth mentioning because if you play Rogue, you absolutely must try it.
I think that if you’ve been thinking about creating a Rogue, the existence of this bug might keep you from playing one.
Combo Points
Now, as you know, Rogue has the option of having Combo Points. It created these Combo Points when they attack with basic skills. Each Combo Point increases the damage of core skills such as Rapid Fire, Flurry and Twisting Blades.
Typically, you can have up to 3 Combo Points. You can find out the current number of Combo Points by looking at UI at the bottom of the screen. You can also determine the maximum number of Combo Points you can have by hovering over the graph at the bottom.
Tibault’s Will
The bug is related to Tibault’s Will Unique Pants. So in order to do this, these Combo Points are needed.
One statistic for this Unique Pant is Maximum Energy. However, in reality, this number is added to your maximum Combo Points. So instead of just 3 maximum Combo Points, you can have up to 22 Combo Points based on Tibault’s Will’s Maximum Energy statistic. Since Combo Points affect the damage of your core skills, this also means you’ll do more damage.
How To Get More Combo Points?
Now, you may ask, if you only get one Combo Point by casting a basic skill, then it will take a long time to get the maximum number of Combo Points.
This is true, but if you have the budget for Diablo 4 Gold, buying this Unique Dagger called Condemnation can help us solve this problem. This gives us a 30% chance to maximize each Combo Point on any basic skill cast.
Note that in the item itself it says to only fill Combo Points up to 3, but that’s not actually the case. As you can see, this effect maximizes Combo Points regardless of the maximum number of Combo Points. So this way we can get up to 22 Combo Points instantly.
At this point, there’s nothing left to do but cast core skills to take advantage of our large pool of Combo Points.
Example
As you can see in this demo, I’m level 80 and Rogue is really poorly equipped. Normal 3 Combo Points Rapid Fire will do that much damage to the target dummy. And if we look at 22 Combo Points Rapid Fire, with the same outstanding gear, it does so much damage.
Again, this also applies to any other core skill, including Twisting Blades. To give you a more practical example, we’ll compare the damage of Varshan’s 3 Combo Points Rapid Fire to 22 Combo Points Rapid Fire.
So, with 3 Combo Points, you can imagine how long it takes to kill the boss. However, if you turn to Autohotkey Rapid Fire with bugs, it will die after a few uses.
That’s it! Hope these tips are useful to you. I really recommend you try this Rouge bug in Season 2 as I think there is a good chance they will fix it next season.
