SWTOR Sith Inquisitor DPS Builds

Are you playing as a Sith Inquisitor in Star Wars: The Old Republic and would like to learn how to properly build your advanced classes for DPS? Well, if you are looking for a straight forward guide to help you do exactly that, you have come to the right place!

My name is Connie Heo and I have been playing SWTOR ever since beta and have been hooked on this game! I am not a professional player, however I do consider myself to be a solid SWTOR player and have helped other people create viable builds for different situations.

So I decided to put my experience to use to help more people create viable Sith Inquisitor builds for DPS.

SWTOR Sith Inquisitor DPS Builds

Having high DPS or damage per second is very important in any situation that you may face. The more DPS you have, the faster you can kill enemies and the more pressure you can put on your opponents. By having a solid Sith Inquisitor DPS Build, you will be a very scary and powerful force against your enemies.

However from my experience, if you built your Sith Inquisitor properly and have very high DPS, your enemies will tend to focus on you first as you are the biggest threat and have low defense. Make sure that you have a lot of mobility and is aware of your surroundings on the battlefield or warzones to ensure that you can survive enemies focusing you.

Below, I have outlined solid DPS builds for both the Sith Sorcerer and Sith Assassin. I have been using these builds in the past and they have worked quite well for me.

SWTOR Sith Inquisitor Sorcerer DPS Build

The Sith Inquisitor Sorcerer, when built properly can deal significant damage from a nice range. To create this DPS build for my Sith Sorcerer, I opted to spec into the Lightning talent tree and had the remainder of my points in Corruption and Madness talent trees. The completed DPS build for my Sorcerer at level 50 3/31/7.

This build allowed me to deal massive damage at a range and also allowed me to be a reliable crowd controller when things got to messy. Keep in mind to effectively do the maximum DPS that you possibly can, you will need to learn how to manage your ability rotations very well.

What I mean by this is that you will need to learn when to casts your DoTs, Procs, Buffs and spells to maximize your damage. Below is a screenshot of my DPS Sorcerer build at level 50.

SWTOR Sith Inquisitor Assassin DPS Build

The Sith Inquisitor Assassin is an excellent spike damage striker as well as an annoying harasser with the proper DPS build. The only downfall to this advanced class is that to do significant damage, you will have to be in melee range.

I went with an armor piercing DPS build, so I chose to spec into the Deception talent tree with a few points in both the Madness and Darkness talent trees. My completed DPS build for my Sith Assassin is 5/33/3.

This DPS build has the most damage output than any of the other DPS builds that I have experimented with for the Assassin. It is important to utilize your abilities, such as Overload and Shock to get behind your opponents to unleash a vicious stab to the back attack. This is where the most damage per second attacks happen.

Below is a screenshot of my DPS build for the Assassin at level 50.

SWTOR Sith Inquisitor Leveling and PVE Builds

Are you playing as a Sith Inquisitor in Star Wars: The Old Republic and would like to learn how to properly build your advanced classes for leveling and PVE? Well, if you are looking for a straight forward guide to help you do exactly that, you have come to the right place!

My name is Connie Heo and I have been playing SWTOR ever since beta and have been hooked on this game! I am not a professional player, however I do consider myself to be a solid SWTOR player and have helped other people create viable builds for different situations.

So I decided to put my experience to use to help more people create viable Sith Inquisitor builds for leveling and PVE.

By learning how to build your Sith Inquisitor properly for leveling and PVE, you will be able to take out large mobs quickly without having to wipe, which in turn will allow you to reach the leveling cap ASAP.

Below, I will be outlining good leveling/PVE builds for both the Sith Sorcerer and the Sith Assassin. Keep in mind that while these builds have been tested to be effective, they may not suit your play style.

You may wish to tweak or respec if you do not like how your Sith Inquisitor handles on the battlefield.

SWTOR Sith Inquisitor Sorcerer Leveling and PVE Build

There are two ways that you can build your Sith Inquisitor Sorcerer for leveling and PVE. The first way is to go as a healer or support unit, which is more suited for team fights or with a DPS champion. The second way is to go DPS, which is suited for soloing small to medium mobs.

The build that I went with for leveling/PVE is the DPS Sith Sorcerer Build. The reason for this is because I like to solo better (there are many noob parties out there) and I would like to wipe out mobs myself instead of playing a support role.

To create this build, I used the majority of my points to spec into the Corruption talent tree and put the remainder of my points in the Lightning and Madness tree. The completed DPS build for my Sith Sorcerer at level 50 is 30/9/2.

I really liked this leveling/PVE build because allowed me to tackle on solo questing and power leveling quite quickly with a tank companion. I especially liked the fact that I could easily burst down enemy mobs quickly when I pull aggro from them before they reached me.

Below is a screenshot of my completed leveling/PVE build for my Sith Sorcerer.

SWTOR Sith Inquisitor Assassin Leveling and PVE Build

The Sith Inquisitor Assassin is very effective at killing large mobs of enemies with a proper leveling build due to its heavy burst damage.

For this reason, I chose to spec into the Madness talent tree and put the remainder of my points in the Darkness and Deception talent trees.

My completed leveling/PVE build for my Sith Assassin at level 50 is 5/3/33.

This leveling and PVE build focuses on burst and utility. The reason why I wanted this was so that I could easily solo quests and Heroics with a tank companion. All I had to do was stand back and use my abilities to burst my enemies down while my companion tanks all the damage.

Also, the few points that were allocated in Darkness and Deception gave me some power boost and Force Power preservation, which I find to be extremely important.

Below is a screenshot of my completed leveling/PVE build at level 50.

SWTOR Bounty Hunter PVP Build

Are you playing as a Bounty Hunter in Star Wars: The Old Republic and want to learn how to build your advanced class properly for PVP? If you want a quick guide to show you solid builds, you have definitely come to the right place!

My name is Connie Heo and I have been addicted to SWTOR ever since beta. I consider myself to be a solid SWTOR player and have been using these builds to help me dominate my enemies quickly and easily.

I have even helped other people create viable builds through different forums and websites along the way! So, in this guide I will show you multiple builds that will allow you to effectively dominate your enemies for PVP.

SWTOR Bounty Hunter PVP Builds

PVP battles in warzones are the most fun in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Killing real players instead of AI gives you a real satisfaction that you just can't receive by killing enemy mobs.

With the proper Bounty Hunter PVP build, you will be able to quickly destroy your enemies and complete your objectives to win the warzone. However, you must realize that winning PVP does not necessary rely 100% on the build that you have for your Bounty Hunter.

Although it plays a huge role, factors such as team strategies, ability rotations and gear all influence how well you will do in Warzones. Below, I will only cover PVP builds for your Bounty Hunter that will significantly give you an advantage in Warzones.

SWTOR Bounty Hunter Mercenary PVP Build

PVP'ing as a Bounty Hunter Mercenary can be devastating to your opponents as you can melt them down with your high DPS before they are able to reach you.

For my Mercenary, I chose to spec into the Pyrotech tree as I felt that this was the best for PVP due to the constant snares and CC that I was able to use. This proves very useful in team fights to focus opponents down.

My PVP build for my Bounty Hunter Mercenary at level 50 is 3/7/31. This build allowed me to use Sweltering Heat and the ability to use Rapid Shots frequently (which gives 40% chance to snare), which is extremely handy to avoid over-heating.

Below is a screenshot of my completed PVP build of my Mercenary.

SWTOR Bounty Hunter Powertech PVP Build

The Bounty Hunter Powertech is a force to be reckoned with in warzones with the right build. Their natural tanking abilities combined with their damage output and AOE attacks from this PVP build allow them to melt enemies quickly while tanking heavy damage.

My completed PVP build for my Bounty Hunter Powertech is 30/11/0.

I decided to spec into the Shield Tech talent tree for my Powertech because I wanted more surviability in the warzone. I also found that this build allows you to have better Crowd Control, enabling you to be very useful in team fights and situations.

If you would rather have some added damage instead of focusing on survivability, I recommend that you build your Powertech at 31/8/2. It sacrifices endurance for damage thanks to the Iron Fist talent.

This PVP would work better if you are confident in your defensive skills in warzones.

Below is my completed PVP build for my Powertech at 30/11/0.

SWTOR Bounty Hunter Tank Build

Are you playing as a Bounty Hunter in Star Wars: The Old Republic and want to learn how to build your advanced class properly for tank? If you want a quick guide to show you solid builds, you have definitely come to the right place!

My name is Connie Heo and I have been addicted to SWTOR ever since beta. I consider myself to be a solid SWTOR player and have been using these builds to help me dominate my enemies quickly and easily.

I have even helped other people create viable builds through different forums and websites along the way! So, in this guide I will show you multiple builds that will allow you to effectively dominate your enemies for tank.

DPS builds can be created for both advanced classes for the Bounty Hunter, however if you want to tank, you will only be able to do so with the Powertech.

The reason for this is because the Mercenary has little to none defensive talents, which will prove to be detrimental on the battlefield. With that said, I will only show you the tanking build that I used for my Bounter Hunter Powertech.

You may be surprised after you see my tank build for my Powertech as it is not as conventional as your run-of-the-mill tanking build for Bounty Hunters. The tank build that I completed at level 50 for my Powertech is 24/17/0.

I did not want to put all of my points into Shield Tech because I did not want to sacrifice 100% of my damage to taking heavy damage from enemies. However, if you do not like this build, you can always go for the standard Powertech tank build of 31/8/2.

Anyways, below is a screenshot of the tank build I discussed at level 50.

SWTOR Bounty Hunter DPS Builds

Are you playing as a Bounty Hunter in Star Wars: The Old Republic and want to learn how to build your advanced class properly for DPS? If you want a quick guide to show you solid builds, you have definitely come to the right place!

My name is Connie Heo and I have been addicted to SWTOR ever since beta. I consider myself to be a solid SWTOR player and have been using these builds to help me dominate my enemies quickly and easily.

I have even helped other people create viable builds through different forums and websites along the way! So, in this guide I will show you multiple builds that will allow you to effectively dominate your enemies for DPS.

Building the proper DPS build for your Bounty Hunter will enable you to tear through enemy mobs or PVP other players quickly and easily.

DPS builds can be both created for each advanced class of the Bounty Hunter. However, it is obvious that the Bounty Hunter Mercenary far surpasses the Bounty Hunter Powertech in damage output per second.

With that said, you are still able to create a nice DPS build for your Powertech, but it would most likely be a hybrid of DPS paired up with its natural tanking abilities.

Below, I have outlined DPS builds for both the Mercenary and Powertech. These builds should do well in almost any situation you may encounter in SWTOR.

SWTOR Bounty Hunter Mercenary DPS Build

The Bounty Hunter Mercenary in SWTOR excels at DPS. This advanced class is able to deal heavy damage to incoming enemies and maneuver around the battlefield quickly to keep constant pressure on enemies.

To create a pure DPS build for my Mercenary, I spec'd into the Arsenal talent tree. After experimenting with both the Arsenal and Powertech tree, I found that the Arsenal talent tree gave me the most sustained DPS on average.

The build that I concluded on at level 50 is 7/31/3. This DPS build allowed me to a huge amount of damage output due to the high Accuracy and Critical Damage. Keep in mind to always have good heat management when you are using this build.

High DPS builds like this for the Mercenary can give you heat very quickly. If you cannot manage your heat well, you will be standing on the battlefield using default attack rendering you useless to solo or team play.

Below is a screenshot of my completed build at level 50.

SWTOR Bounty Hunter Powertech DPS Build

Although the Bounty Hunter Powertech isn't a natural at DPS, you can still create a build to do some fairly decent damage to your enemies or mobs.

For my Powertech, I spec'd the majority of my points into Advanced Prototype while sending a few points to Shield Tech and even less to Pyrotech. The reason for this is because I feel that Advanced Prototype deals much more damage than the Pryotech tree from my experience. My completed build at level 50 is 8/31/2.

This DPS build emphasizes on good damage output combined with nice AOE attacks, CC and interrupts. You can tweak this build to your liking a bit if you want more sustainability on the battlefield by adding your talent points into armor.

Below is my completed DPS build for my Powertech at level 50.

SWTOR Bounty Hunter Leveling and PVE Build

Are you playing as a Bounty Hunter in Star Wars: The Old Republic and want to learn how to build your advanced class properly for leveling and PVE? If you want a quick guide to show you solid builds, you have definitely come to the right place!

My name is Connie Heo and I have been addicted to SWTOR ever since beta. I consider myself to be a solid SWTOR player and have been using these builds to help me dominate my enemies quickly and easily.

I have even helped other people create viable builds through different forums and websites along the way! So, in this guide I will show you multiple builds that will allow you to effectively dominate your enemies for leveling and PVE.

The high damage output combined with its ranged attacks makes the Bounty Hunter Mercenary very good at leveling and PVE.

However, I have heard many instances that people spec into the Bodyguard tree for leveling and PVE due to its ability to be one of the strongest healers in the game (this would only be good for leveling in party).

I have seen many people do well with Bodyguard, but I prefer to deal a large amount of damage to my enemies rather than play a supporting role in team fights. The leveling and PVE build that I went with for my Mercenary is 5/31/5.

I put most of my points into Arsenal because it allows me to do a lot of DPS from a good range, allowing me to take down enemies before get in range. Below is a screenshot of my talent tree at level 50.

SWTOR Bounty Hunter Powertech Leveling and PVE Build

For my leveling and PVE build for my Bounty Hunter Powertech, I opted to spec into the Shield Tech talent tree. The reason I wanted this was because I wanted greater protection for my character and have upgraded safeguards to increase my survivability while taking on huge mobs.

My completed leveling and PVE build at level 50 is 32/9/0. This build allowed me to take out enemies with its superior defense combined with its flamethrower abilities to melt mobs away quickly and easily.

Keep in mind that I chose to build my Powertech in the Shield Tech talent tree because I wanted to stay on the battlefield longer and tank huge mobs. However, if you are someone that would rather deal lots of damage quickly, you may want to experiment with Advanced Prototype talent tree.

Below is the screenshot of my talent tree at level 50.

SWTOR Smuggler PVP Builds

Are you playing as a Smuggler in Star Wars : The Old Republic and would like to learn how to properly build your character for healing? Well if you are looking to create a solid build or just simply to improve on your Smuggler build right now, you have definitely come to the right place.

My name is Connie Heo and I have been playing SWTOR since beta and have been avid about it ever since! I consider myself to be a pretty good SWTOR player and have even helped other players come up with viable builds for different situations.

So I decided to put my experience to use to help more people create viable Smuggler builds for healing.

Depending on your playstyle with the Smuggler, you can either be a very important support or or a devastating force that melts enemies away through stealth and ranged attacks with the proper PVP builds.

However, it is important to note that doing well in PVP does not come down to 100% of your builds.

Although extremely important, factors such as ability rotations, equipment and strategies (as a few examples) all influence where your ranking will be in warzones.

Below, I have only outlined proper and viable PVP builds for both the Smugger Gunslinger and Smuggler Scoundrel. Although these builds alone will not help you dominate warzones, they will definitely make an impact.

SWTOR Smuggler Gunslinger PVP Build

When choosing what talent tree to spec into for a solid PVP build for my Gunslinger, I was inclined to put my points into Saboteur rather than Dirty Fighting or Sharpshooter.

You may have heard that this build is ineffective for PVP as it focuses on AOE attacks, which means that your character won't have as high damage output as it possibility could.

I used to think this way as well, however after trying this uncommon PVP Gunslinger build myself, I was surprised at how well I did in warzones! I enjoyed focusing on multiple targets at once rather than focusing on one opponent and moving to another after he was defeated.

My completed PVP build for my Gunslinger at level 50 is 3/30/8.

This PVP Saboteur build allowed my Gunslinger to deal significant damage to multiple enemies with my Thermal Grenade, Shrap Bomb, Sabotage Charge and Quickshot while I maintained high mobility to escape dangerous situations.

Below is a screenshot of my completed PVP build for my Gunslinger at level 50.

http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#7000cZrIbdokbRrcZG0bz.1

SWTOR Smuggler Scoundrel PVP Build

There are two PVP roles that you can play as when using the Smuggler Scoundrel in warzones. You can either choose to be a support character and heal people or go around the warzone and kill enemies with stealth and melee abilities!

The role that suited my play style the best in PVP was to do high damage and to rack up kills on the scoreboard, so I decided to spec into the Scrapper talent tree and split the remainder of my points into Sawbone rather than spec'ing into Sawbone and have my remaining points in Scrapper to play a supporting role.

My completed PVP build at level 50 is 7/31/3.

This build will allow you to go around the battlefield while in stealth and pick off enemies one by one with high damaged melee attacks. Remember, if you are in stealth and kill a target without attacking or being attacked, you can restealth after the killing blow immediately.

Below is a screenshot of my completed PVP build at level 50.
