SWTOR Imperial Agent DPS Builds

Are you playing as an Imperial Agent in Star Wars : The Old Republic and want to learn how to properly create viable builds for DPS? Well, if you are looking for a solid guide to help you create a stronger character, you have definitely come to the right place!

My name is Connie Heo and I am a fanatic SWTOR player ever since beta. I consider myself to be a pretty solid SWTOR player and even helped other people create viable builds for different situations. So I decided to put my experience to use to help more people create viable Imperial Agent builds for DPS.

Having heavy damage output is a very important in almost every situation you can face. High DPS allows your to quickly dispose of your enemies and keep pressure on them.

With a proper and viable DPS build for your Imperial Agent, you can actually be a huge threat towards your enemies as you have many abilities to burst them down quickly.

However, you must remember that with a pure DPS build, you will have limited defenses. When this is the case, you must learn to be very mobile and plan escape routes on the battlefield or else you can wipe very easily.

Below, I have outlined nice DPS builds that I have used for my Operative and Sniper in the past that have been rather effective. Be sure to check them out and try it for yourself.

SWTOR Imperial Agent Operative DPS Build

The Imperial Agent Operative has two DPS talent trees that when spec'd into properly can deal heavy damage to enemies. However, from my experience, I feel that the Lethality talent tree is better at DPS than the Concealment tree.

For this reason, I opted to spec the majority of my points into Lethality and put the remainder of my points in Concealment and Medicine. My completed DPS build for my Operative at level 50 is 3/7/31.

This build focuses around abilities that uses a large amount of DoTs and high damaging skills to quickly burst down your enemies. However, you must bear in mind that you must be careful of your resource and energy management if you want to ensure that you deal maximum damage every time.

Without proper management, this build could be considered as useless for DPS. Below is a screenshot of my DPS build for my Operative at level 50.

SWTOR Imperial Agent Sniper DPS Build

The Imperial Agent Sniper is able to deal significant damage to targets from an awesome range with the proper DPS build. To create a viable DPS build for the Sniper that I liked, I opted to spec into the Marksmanship talent tree and put my remaining points in Engineering and Lethality talent trees. My completed DPS build for my Sniper at level 50 is 31/7/3.

This DPS build into the Marksmanship talent tree is actually a pretty straightforward build. This build consists of straight up single target DPS combined with cover-oriented long range combat. With this build, you will be able to target a single enemy from a long range behind cover to burst them down slowly. Below is a screenshot of my DPS build for the Sniper at level 50.
