About

The Death Trap Rogue is the premier "infinite spam" build for the Rogue class. It transforms your Ultimate skill into your primary damage dealer by abusing specific item interactions to fully reset its cooldown every time you cast it. This build excels at rapid clearing and high speed movement that erases content almost effortlessly once all the components are setup correctly.

Gameplay Rotation

This build works by performing a loop over and over to boost the damage and reset our Death Trap Ultimate.

  • Start the loop : Cast Death Trap.

  • The setup: 1 - Scoundrel's Leathers: This makes Death Trap count as a Core Skill, 2 - Our Beastfall Boots sets our next Core Skill after an Ultimate to consumesall energy for massive damage. 3 - Preparation (Specialization) helpts to reset our Ultimate.

  • The Loop: Because Death Trap is now a "Core" skill, casting it consumes all your energy (150+). This huge energy spend triggers the Preparation cooldown reduction twice, instantly resetting the 10-second cooldown of the trap you just threw.

  • Repeat the loop
