If you’re running a Rogue this season in Diablo 4, chances are you’ve heard the buzz about the Star Shards Aspect. It’s nasty—in a good way. This Legendary Offensive Aspect cranks up your Dance of Knives build with extra damage and combo-point goodness. The problem? It’s not exactly easy to find. But don’t worry—we’ve got your back with all the best ways to farm it.
What Does the Star Shards Aspect Do?
This isn’t just another stat booster. Star Shards gives your Dance of Knives skill a chance to explode into six shards, dealing up to 200% extra damage. Even better, it adds combo point scaling and lets you go over the max charges. Translation? Way more pain for your enemies.
Applies to:
-
Gloves
-
Amulet
-
One- or Two-Handed Weapons
Best Ways to Get the Star Shards Aspect
1. Legendary World Drops (The Classic Grind)
Yep, you can get it the old-fashioned way—from random drops in:
-
Nightmare Dungeons
-
Helltide Chests
-
Legion Events
-
World Bosses
Just make sure you’re grinding as a Rogue—more chance for class-specific loot.
2. Murmuring Obols: Gamble Smart, Not Hard
Head to the Purveyor of Curiosities and gamble for Offhands. Why? They’re cheap, and this Aspect drops there more often. Stack those Obols and roll till you hit gold.
3. Targeted Dungeon Farming
Some dungeons just seem to like dropping Rogue gear. Try:
-
Celestial Tower (Hawezar)
-
Lunar Sanctum (Kehjistan)
Boost them with Nightmare Sigils to increase drop rates and XP.
4. Seasonal Journey Rewards
Don’t skip your Season Journey. Rogue-specific gear sometimes pops in the early reward tiers—just make sure you're playing as a Rogue when claiming.
How to Use It (And Not Screw It Up)
Once you get the Aspect:
-
Extract it at the Blacksmith
-
Imprint it using the Occultist
-
Prioritize your Amulet for max bonus effect (+50% boost to Legendary powers)
Pro tip: wait for a high-roll version before imprinting on your best gear.
