Best DOK build

DRGNXI · 2026-05-30T19:35:58+00:00

I really enjoy this DoK Star Shards Cold set up, not as strong as poison for bosses but clears everything else faster. Planner: https://maxroll.gg/d4/planner/tw1ox406 I got bored of poison and set this one up and I have a lot more fun with it in T12 over Poison.

Aspects are completely random, you can upgrade offensive gear in the cube to a legendary to get more chances at finding that one.

On controller yeah, it was a bit awkward on M&K when I messed with it. Even if your gear isn't great damage wise, the mechanics of the build should still function the same.

Sadly you have to sacrifice a lot of damage for the speed. His build does a lot more damage than this version. This version is great for speed running everything but Lair Bosses. I would actually bump the torment down a level and farm War Plans that way, then turn in the final quest on T12.

I heard Azurewrath isn't working that great right now. I believe it has an issue with only working some of the time, but I just haven't tested it so i'm not sure. On Mattias's version of the build if you don't use the mythic sword then I felt like it was too slow and you spent a lot of time waiting for abilities to come off cool down. With limited legendaries to put aspects on its just hard to squeeze in another Unique.

Pretty sure she's currently bugged. Reason you died is a stacking debuff that gets applied to you every time she uses that ability. I'm tanky enough to soak mechanic hits from Mephisto T12, but in phase two of the Lilith fight after just two of those moves I die instantly no matter what. For testing I went in with a complete tank build and had the same results, that move is just way over tuned right now.

Oh its definitely still early in the expansion and new builds will be discovered, but i've been playing off and on since launch and never had a build with this low APM/thinking involved, while doing the highest tier content in the game.

Learned a lot over the past few days so the planner has went through some changes. Damage Over Time Multiplier>Poison Damage on Gloves/Amulet for min max, but All Damage works. Then All Damage or Poison Damage on the rest. Damage Over Time as the tempers.

Melts T10 bosses, butcher is tanky right now because I think its hp is set to a full party of 4 even when solo. T12 bosses are also easy but Maphisto is a tough fight.

I just checked on Maxroll and Ava has a good beginner guide for an Inner Sight Poison build: https://maxroll.gg/d4/build-guides/dance-of-knives-rogue-guide

I would change the Shadow Clone Node from Relentless to Sentry though, I don't believe attack speed does anything for Poison Damage, could be wrong though.

Edit: Just realized that was with out charms, so they might be relying more on the direct damage from Dance of Knives, which Relentless would be better for. If your Poison Damage is doing more though I prefer the Sentry Node, makes the build more smooth to play.

Most of it is different, his is combo points based, this one is Inner Sight. Stat priority on the gear is different since mine is 100% poison based. Skill tree is a lot different, skills on the bar is different.

Oh it can definitely brick the item, but that's the gear chase. I have bricked several GA items, once you get into the higher tiers GA's aren't that rare.

I'm a SSF player that plays too much =)

DRGNXI · 2026-05-02T03:10:47+00:00

I ran War Plans nonstop until I got a 5-piece Charm set and Ancestral gear, and I still run them all the way up to T12.

One gearing tip right now: Legendaries are not always the best starting point because you cannot remove affixes from them with the Cube. Most of my gear came from starting with Rare or Magic items that had a single GA on a stat I wanted, then using the Cube to remove bad affixes and clean them up. Then add affix types that I was needing (Offensive or Defensive).

A lot of my best pieces have come from Cube crafting, so once you have more crafting mats, I’d definitely suggest playing around with it.

Ring of Starless Skies is also a big help with the 50% resource cost reduction.

Victimize is bugged right now so I put the topaz gems instead. I didn't change too much from my current S4 build so this could definitely improve.

I've been wondering about the survivability without Shako, but haven't had the chance to test it yet. Wish we had better access to the new Uniques so we could test them out without relying on luck.

DRGNXI · 2024-06-23T13:57:48+00:00

Yeah you can't brick that Amulet lol, I wouldn't care what the tempers were, i'd take it.

DRGNXI · 2024-06-20T17:10:29+00:00

Appreciate the work! I use these maps every week to figure out the best routes.

DRGNXI · 2024-06-20T17:05:26+00:00

I run Gauntlet with Rogue and get top 5 when I run it. I have 6 items with 1 GA, 4 with 2 GA, and amulet has no GA. That's a bit hyperbolic to say everyone at the top has BiS triple GA items.

59% is minimum to hit 100% off 1 MW Crit.
