Key Passives

The Diablo 4 Rogue talents also have Key Passives, which are unlocked once you spend 33 skill points. However, you're only allowed to choose one.

  • Momentum - Cutthroat skills gain a Momentum stack if they hit a stunned/dazed/frozen enemy, or if they hit a target from behind. At three Momentum stacks, you gain 20% damage reduction, 30% energy regeneration, and 15% movement speed.
  • Close-Quarters Combat - Cutthroat and Marksman skills grant a 10% attack speed bonus for eight seconds if you hit an enemy at close range. If you gain the bonus from both skill types, you'll deal 20% increased damage versus crowd-controlled enemies.
  • Precision - Marksman skills that crit grant Precision, which adds a crit damage stacking bonus (up to 20%). At maximum Precision, your next Marksman skill is a guaranteed crit with 40% increased crit damage, all while consuming the existing stacks.
  • Victimize - Lucky Hit; dealing direct damage to a vulnerable enemy has a chance to cause an AoE explosion.
  • Exposure - Lucky Hit; dealing direct damage to an enemy affected by a trap has a 25% chance to reduce cooldowns or drop a cluster of exploding stun grenades.
Picking the Close-Quarters Combat Key Passive nets you boons if you can take out foes that are near you.
