Diablo 4 offers five distinct classes for players to choose from and slay enemies in the unforgiving world of Sanctuary. The myriad abilities associated with each class combined with a plethora of loot present many opportunities to alter a character build frequently. Players can try out the Rogue class if they are inclined to stay mobile and deal significant damage from a safe distance.
Rogue can leverage many items associated with Unique rarity, with Grasp of Shadow being one of the potent gears. It is a glove bundled with a lucky hit bonus effect wherein dealing damage to any vulnerable foe (with any marksman or cutthroat skill) grants a chance of summoning a shadow clone. Once triggered, it copies the attack pattern of the player.
