The video focuses on a specific issue encountered with a Reign of Arrows Rogue build in Diablo 4. The creator explains the intricacies of the build, noting that the preparation specialization should reduce the cooldown of Reign of Arrows by 5 seconds for every 100 energy spent on core skills. However, they identify a bug where using the skill Puncture in between Rapid Fire halts this cooldown reduction, unlike other skills such as Heartseeker or Forceful Arrow which do not present this problem.
The issue appears to stem from the rogue's frequent weapon swaps, which may reset the internal preparation counter to zero energy, impacting gameplay for range Rogues who rely on this mechanism. Through various tests, including the use of Dash, Reign of Arrows, and Rapid Fire, the bug has been highlighted as problematic enough to warrant attention from Blizzard, the game's developer.
The creator advises against using Puncture while leveling and suggests alternatives like concealment or the Blast Trapper's aspect until the Paragon boards are introduced, which will enhance the build's playability. The video urges viewers to report this bug to Blizzard and to stay tuned for a more detailed build video.

In this part of the video, the creator discusses their experience with a Reign of Arrows Rogue build in Diablo 4 and a specific issue they encountered. They explain the build, which uses Rapid Fire and the preparation specialization to refresh the Reign of Arrows cooldown. Preparation should reduce the cooldown by 5 seconds for every 100 energy spent on core skills. During leveling, the creator uses Puncture to apply vulnerabilities, but preparation stops working when Puncture is used between Rapid Fire. To test this issue, they show clips demonstrating that preparation works fine with Rapid Fire alone but fails when alternating with Puncture. They further test alternating Rapid Fire with Forceful Arrow and find no issues, suggesting the problem is specific to Puncture. The creator plans to test more combinations to identify the root cause.

In this part of the video, the issue being discussed is an apparent bug related to the skill “puncture” in a game. The narrator demonstrates that while other skills like Heartseeker work fine with the preparation mechanism, puncture does not trigger preparation correctly. The suspicion is that when the rogue character swaps weapons—switching between swords or daggers for puncture and a bow or crossbow for rapid fire—it resets the internal preparation counter to zero energy. This was confirmed through multiple tests, including using Dash with reign of arrows and rapid fire. The segment concludes by highlighting the significant implications of this bug for range Rogues, who frequently swap weapons, and urges viewers to help raise awareness for a fix from the game’s developer, Blizzard.
