Build Summary
Barrage Rogue
Barrage Rogue	Focus: Torment 4, Uber Bosses, Infernal Horde
Attacks can sttagger bosses fast. Barrage can deal high critical and poison damage. Aspects and Skills grant high survivability. Has low mobility.

The build uses the poison novas from Andariel's Visage and Poison Imbued Barrage to deal with both mobs and bosses. It also takes advantage of Preparation, paired with the No Witnesses and the Close Quarters Combat key passive for high base damage which allows the poison damage to scale higher.

This Barrage Rogue build can take advantage of three Mythic Uniques and 100% Lucky Hit Chance to burst down bosses and efficiently farm high tiers of The Pit.

Specialization

Preparation	Spend 75 Energy to reduce your Ultimate Skill's Cooldown by 5 seconds. Ultimate Skills reset other Cooldowns and grant 15% Damage Reduction for 10 Seconds.

Preparation is the best specialization for the build as it keeps your Shadow Clone Active, granting you. This works well with the Attack Speed affixes and Precision key passive for this build, allowing you to cast more barrage to get your Shadow Clone back.

Andariel's Visage and Fists of Fate are the core equipment on the build, as the lucky hit chance from Fists of Fate allows Barrage to continuously apply the poison nova from Andariel's Visage.

The damage of Andariel's Visage poison nova is scaled through increases in base affixes like Damage, Damage over time, and Dexterity, which is improved by the Frostbitten, Creeping Death, and Concussive Strikes aspects.

For defense and sustainability, Tyrael's Might should cover a huge chunk of your elemental resistances. Tam and Mot runes should also provide increased damage reduction from Dark Shroud.

Andariel's Barrage Gems

Armor	Weapons	Jewelry
Emerald	Amethyst	Skull

For gems, it's best to slot in Emeralds in your armor to increase Dexterity, and Amethyst in your weapons to increase Damage Over Time and maintain the build's defenses. Skulls can be replaced with Diamonds if you are low on Resistance.

Andariel's Barrage Runewords

Runeword 1	Runeword 2
Tam Mot	Lith Ohm

The best runewords for the Barrage Rogue build are Tam + Mot to gain Dark Shroud for more damage and survivability, and Lith + Ohm which boosts your damage while spamming Barrage in a stationary position.

Mercenary	Reinforcement
Subo	Raheir

The best mercenary for the Barrage Rogue Build is Subo who gives an increase to Critical Strike Damage with Opening Fire and helps with staggering bosses through his Wire Traps.

For the Reinforcement, pick Raheir and pair his Bastion to the opportunity when you're crowd-controlled to remove control-impairing effects.

Paragon Boards
1. Starting Board (Headhunter)

2. Exploit Weakness (Devious)

3. No Witnesses (Efficacy)

4. Cheap Shot (Turf)

5. Leyrana's Instict (Tracker)

Prioritize obtaining the legendary nodes and normal nodes within glyph ranges until you reach the final board. The total points in this build is 252 paragon points, but the majority of players can create this build even with only 243 points if they disregard the Nimble rare node.
For the rare nodes, prioritize taking any nodes that can increase damage to further scale the damage of Andariel's Visage poison novas.

If you happen to have 300 Paragon points, consider obtaining rare nodes that increase your survivability, or use the points to obtain normal nodes within the Headhunter glyph range for more Dexterity.

Playing the Andariel's Barrage build is very easy, you just have to stand still while blasting through your enemiy's health to gain damage buffs and boost the poison novas from Andariel's Visage.

The usual rotation is as follows:

Use Shadow Step on bosses then use Poison Trap and Shadow Clone.
Cast Barrage while standing still to obtain the buffs from Tam + Mot, Lith + Ohm, and Aspect of Inner Calm.
Use Dash to resposition fast.

Always Use Shadow Step Against Bosses

Using Shadow Step is extremely useful for building the stagger meter for bosses. Always use it whenever it's not on cooldown to stagger bosses.

Spam Poison Trap

Subverting Poison Trap increases your poison damage against enemies affected by the trap. Always use Poison Trap to increase the efficiency of your Poison Imbued Barrage to make quick work of tougher mobs like Desecrators in the Infernal Horde.
