One Shot Rogue Build Guide

• The boss needs to be staggered.
  • This is mandatory to activate a lot of our conditional multipliers.
  • This may not be necessary if you have godly gear and are soloing a boss.
• With more players in your party, bosses have more health.
• Ensure you followed the 10-step process correctly.
• Be at Maximum Health and Energy when firing your Rapid Fire.
• Do the Dash & Impetus dance properly.
• Work on your Elements timing to get it on Cold when the boss is staggered.
• Drink an Elixir of Resource II.

• Make sure to actively dodge the tormented boss' mechanics before they can generate stacks on you!
• Each additional stack from the boss massively increases your damage taken against them.
• Make sure your armor and resistances are properly capped.
• You can drag Dark Shroud onto your skill bar and cast it once before the fight. Then take back the skill you swapped off for this. This allows you to not rely on Umbrous procs to gain Dark Shroud stacks.

• Yes.

Dark Shroud stacks damage reduction additively for each active shadow. Due to the additive stacking, each increase in the skill's rank and active shadows boosts your survivability exponentially.

• At maximum stacks, increasing your total Ranks of Dark Shroud affects your effective hit points (eHP) against one-shots as follows:
  • Increasing Dark Shroud from:
    • Rank 1 to Rank 5: 15.3% more eHP
    • Rank 1 to Rank 11: 50% more eHP
    • Rank 1 to Rank 15: 87.5% more eHP
    • Rank 5 to Rank 11: 30.1% more eHP
    • Rank 5 to Rank 15: 62.5% more eHP
    • Rank 11 to Rank 15: 25% more eHP

• The damage formula for Precision is as follows:
  • Precision Multiplier = 1 + ((((1 + real Bottom Tooltip Critical Strike Damage) * 1.5 - 1) * 0.15 + 0.5))
• If you for example have +1000% Critical Strike Damage in the bottom part of your Tooltip:
  • 3.83 = 1 + ((((1 + 10.00) * 1.5 - 1) * 0.15 + 0.5))
  • This means all of your Critical Strikes with full Precision stacks deal 3.83 times more damage.

The [x]50% Overpower Multiplier is calculated based on your current health when you deal Overpower damage with the following formula:

Overpower Multiplier = 100% + 50% x (current HP/Max Life)

So if you have 50% HP, your multiplier would be: 100% + 50% x (50%/100%) = 125% = [x]25%

However, Overpower is suffering from misleading tooltips as the bonus [+]OPD% you get from Health and Fortified is not shown on the tooltip. You get +1% Overpower Damage for each 1% of your Current Life that exceeds your Base Life and you get +1% Overpower Damage for each 1% of Fortified Life. That means, if you have 23200 Max Life and 7959 Base Life, you get the following total [+]OPD%:

So whenever we cause an Overpower attack, with a base HP of 7959 and Max HP of 23200, we should add another [+]482.9% to our additive multiplier, which the game does not show us in the form of a number in the tooltip. So to accurately assess how much damage your Overpower attacks do, add the bottom [+]% of the tooltip to your calculation and convert your HP into [+]OPD%. Also, remember to multiply your damage with the [x]50% Overpower multiplier (presuming you are at max HP).

• While all the exact mechanics are much more nuanced, there are two separate Attack Speed Bonus caps of +100% that apply to all builds for a total potential of +200%. For Rogues, these two caps are distributed in the following way:

Cap 1

• Gear rolls
• Paragon nodes
• Elixirs
• Flurry buff
• Close Quarters Combat (Cutthroat portion)
• Moonrise
• Artillery Shrine

Cap 2

• Close Quarters Combat (Marksman portion)
• Enhanced Heartseeker
• Alchemical Advantage
• Haste
• Accelerating
• High Velocity
• Asheara's Khanjar

• The effect from Beastfall Boots does not have a duration. You do however need to time Shadow Clone right before the final shot. This is to ensure you have Unstoppable for Tibault's Will.
• Drink an Elixir of Resource II to further boost your damage multiplier from this item.

Bosses are immune to Crowd Control (CC) and instead take Stagger Damage when hit by one. The amount of stagger damage dealt depends on the type of CC and is proportional to its duration. After being hit by a CC effect, the Boss will temporarily take less Stagger Damage from CC of the same type.

Effectively, this means that when you're just spamming one type of CC you don't need to spam any more of it than what you need to keep a normal enemy permanently CC-d. To stagger the Boss quickly you need to use as many different types of CC as possible. In this build we have:

• Slow, Stun, Immobilize and Freeze from tempered affixes on our gear.
• Daze from Concussive Strikes.

After the Boss is staggered it gains a certain amount of stacking Stagger Damage Reduction for the rest of the fight:

• After 1st Stagger: 20%
• After 2nd Stagger: 40%
• After 3rd Stagger: 60%
• After 4th Stagger: 90%

Bosses naturally regain 1% of their Stagger HP every second and when that regen is combined with 90% Stagger Damage Reduction it becomes borderline impossible to Stagger the Boss again.
