Trap Rogues are back with a vengeance in Diablo 4 Season 8, thanks to a new Unique ring: Band of Ichorous Rose. This build transforms Poison Trap into a high-damage, low-cooldown boss killer, with support from imbuements and Inner Sight energy regen.

In this guide, we’ll break down the best Rogue Poison Trap build, how to farm the ring, and which skills, gear, and strategy make it shine.
