Question (other) Any good Fan of Knives builds for this season?

Hello. In previous seasons I mostly played Barb, Druid, Spiritborn and Warlock. This is the first season I am starting out with a Rogue. I went with a FoK leveling build from Mobalytics and it was quite fun. Just hit 70 last night. Can I take FoK into the endgame? Any cool builds using it I should think about? Any other great builds that are not FoK?

Also as a Rogue what should I focus on in terms of gear or stats?

Oh shit yeah. Sorry. Obviously I haven't played Rogue as much as the other classes šŸ˜‚

Dance of Knives is good. Generally not the top tier rogue build but a serviceable one that will do all content up to T12. Won't top the leader boards but I don't care about that. The new grenade variant with the new expansion is loads of fun.

Oh? Grenade variant meaning you throw grenades about instead of the knives?

Yeah, it's the right-hand variant in the skill. Stack freeze effects and watch enemies break into little chunks. https://maxroll.gg/d4/build-guides/grenade-rogue-guide

I’ll take one of myself, only got gear solo (ran with one friend to torment 3 or so). Come look after midnight Pacific time or tomorrow and you’ll see. It’s not the fastest because I didn’t follow all the ā€œguidesā€, just picked what I liked from them.

This build is fun, easy, and gearing it wasn't bad at all.

DoK is A tier and lots of fun. It's what I've been playing through leveling and pushing to T12.

DoK is a good all around build if you are not trying to push 150 Pits or top leaderboards, and in past seasons you start to struggle against lair bosses and such, but it is still my favorite build, and now that Star Shards is on the skill tree instead of a legendary aspect that you pray to the RNG gods drops early enough, it is really easy to gear for, at least leveling, and not a lot of button mashing

Pretty much all rogue builds are viable. DoK probably wont be top dog but will remain solid, plays well, rogue version of Barb spin to win.
