One of the biggest factors why barrage build has extra survivability is the importance of positioning for it to be efficient. Basically, you never get yourself into middle of the mob, but always staying on the edge to maximize the number of mobs you hit.

Smiled as soon as I saw you mention survivability, since that is what a lot of people say rogue is missing! I know you mentioned a lot of people don't like imbues, so I would recommend those people try the bursting venoms aspect. I personally can't play without it and it means perma poison imbue on big packs and often it's up on bosses! I got used to playing without edgies but it's probably higher dps to use edgies. But just wanted to give a suggestion to them if the cd and reapplications are the problem with it because this build looks awesome as all of your vids have!!!

Hey good video, but how can you have always max energy? I'm almost level 50 with a build similar to this, with all the passives skills and aspects for energy regeneration and i always find myself with no energy, am I missin something?

Which do you like more barrage or pen shot?

Cool stuff, running barrage as well, focusing on poison imbue mainly, but use shadow too. I run Preparation specialization and use rain of arrows instead of the trap. Will look into the mangler aspect, since I can see it's super useful! The poison pool aspect, that removes limits and cooldown of poison imbue, when I stand in it, is my jam - my favourite thing I found so far. Still only lvl. 68, but already in WT4. Thanks for the ideas!

I want to put something like this together but think since i have the paragon where i can make anybody vulnerable just by damaging them, so thinking of seapping puncture for a cuthroat basic to proc tricks of the trade buff

Hey Bro! Love this one too but don't want to change my gears and paragon from the Pen Shot Build you've made last time... I see that you put the life regen pacif points on this build, seems cool, don't you think we can place it on the PS Build to have more survability ? Wich points we should remove instead ? Thanks a lot for your work and time ! 😜

Question about poison trap, how is it used? Does one have to click something on the number pad, i.e. "3" and then use the mouse to place it? Thanks in advance

Is there anything that I should do for Precision to make sure the guaranteed crit it goes on barrage? Since you use a Marksman basic attack. Or does it not really matter for this?

How does Dark Shroud benefit here if it's not bound to any of your hot keys? Does it even work if not activated?

My problem with Rapid Fire personally is that it lacks the AOE clear I want in a build. I have a build guide coming out that features Pen Shot + Rapid Fire, but I think if you're going 1 spender route, Barrage feels better (in my experience at level 100, with my gear set up). I have played all 3 of the core spenders on their own, and in conjunction with other spenders and from my experience at level 100 specifically, that's what I've come to find. But, maybe I should experiment more around Rapid Fire. Because, if I were to go Rapid Fire, I probably wouldn't take poison imbue since you don't need it. RF is insane for ST damage.
