The Heartseeker Rogue in Diablo 4 is a range-focused Marksman built around the ability of the same name. This new build allows players to remain highly mobile while letting out a barrage of arrows, which can swiftly clear out rooms and drain boss health bars. In this guide, we will show you how to make this build, including skills, aspects, items and more!
Best Heartseeker Rogue Skills
The Heartseeker Rogue is among the more straightforward builds in Diablo 4. The goal of the build is to set up your Heartseeker basic attack to deal with most of your damage while obtaining the Victimize bonus as much as possible. The second major part of this build is your mobility. As a Rogue with lower health than other classes in Diablo 4, it’s essential to keep a distance from your opponents. Dash, Shadow Step, and Caltrops all allow you to do this easily. Below are all the Skills you need to unlock to make this build work.
Heartseeker(Basic): Fires an arrow that deals damage and increases your Critical Strike Chance against the target.
Stutter Step(Core): Getting a Critical Strike increases Movement Speed by 15% for 4 seconds.
Caltrops(Agility): The player leaps backward and throws caltrops on the ground. These deal damage and slow enemies by 50%.
Shadow Step(Agility): The player becomes Unstoppable and gains 50% movement speed for two seconds. Any attacks from behind deal increased damage.
Dash(Agility): A dash forward that propels the player and deals damage to any enemy caught in their path.
Dark Shroud(Subterfuge): A protective shroud that gives 8% Damage Reduction per active Shadow, with 5 Shadows in total.
Smoke Grenade(Subterfuge): A projectile that dazes enemies for four seconds.
Victimize(Key Passive): A passive effect, wherein dealing damage to a Vulnerable target has a 50% chance of creating an explosion. Damage done to Victimized targets is increased.

Best Gems For Heartseeker Rogue
The gems you want to use for this Rogue build in Diablo 4 are chosen following the same idea applied to the equipment. You should look for Emerald for weapons.

A solid option to equip in your Armor pieces is the Skull gem, which increases the Healing Received. Although you don’t have many sources of healing as a rogue, this will make your potions more potent.
