Puncture Base Skill

Throw blades a short distance, dealing 350 damage. Every 3rd cast Slows enemies by 20% for just two.15 seconds. Critical Strikes will invariably Slow.

Modifier 1 Enhanced Puncture – Gain 2 Energy when Puncture damages a Crowd Controlled enemy.

Modifier 2 Fundamental Puncture – Puncture now throws 3 blades inside a spread, each dealing 35% of their Base damage. Hitting an enemy with a minimum of 2 blades at the same time makes them Vulnerable for just two seconds.

Explanation: This is the basic skill, it's no cost, and maybe spammed as often as you want. Puncture happens to be the best Rogue melee skill in Diablo 4 as it can certainly also hit enemies at range. Once you have the modifiers it throws three blades as well as applies Vulnerable status towards the enemy (Enemies take 20% more damage).

Twisting Blade Core Skill

Energy Cost: 30

Impale an enemy together with your blades, dealing 300 damage and which makes them take 8% increased damage of your stuff while impaled. After 1.5 seconds the blades go back to you, piercing enemies for 500 damage.

Modifier 1 Enhanced Twisting Blades – Twisting Blades deal 30% increased damage when returning.

Modifier 2 Advanced Twisting Blades – When your Twisting Blades return, your active Cooldowns are reduced by 1 second per enemy they passed through, as much as 3 seconds. Players can buy d2r items and diablo 4 items and d2 resurrected items from a trustworthy shop like MMOWTS to gain access to powerful new abilities and strategies.

Explanation:

This is the main damage skill for that Rogue Shadow Blade Build. You always wish to apply Puncture towards the enemy first to find the Vulnerable status impact on them to increase enemy damage taken. Then use Twisting Blade to manage massive damage.

If you're fast and jump to a different target either with dodge or even the Shadow Step skill the additional blades will hit all enemies between you and the blades, this works because of the 1.5-second timer.

In addition, the skill also reduces other skill cooldowns by 1-3 seconds.
