SWTOR Republic Trooper Tank Builds

Are you playing as a Republic Trooper in SWTOR and want to learn how to properly build for advanced class for tank? If you are looking to build a strong character, you have come to the right place!

Hello there, my name is Connie Heo and I have been an avid Star Wars : The Old Republic player ever since beta. I consider myself to be a solid SWTOR player and have helped many people create stronger builds to tackle certain situations.

Below, I have outlined viable builds for the Republic Trooper that I have used in the past to be effective in tank.

Every class in SWTOR has a tanking class. For the Republic Trooper, the advanced class that excels in tanking is the Vanguard.

By properly creating a viable tanking build for the Trooper Vanguard, you will be an undefeatable force that will require a dozen or more enemies to take you down.

To create this pure tank build for my Vanguard, I spec'd into the tanking tree, Shield Specialist and put the remainder of my points into the Tactics talent tree.

My completed tank build for my Vanguard at level 50 is 30/11/0.

This build gives a lot of survivability to your Trooper Vanguard for pretty much any situation that you are in. Abilities such as Brutal Impact gives you nice DPS and threat to get you and your team out of sticky situations.

Some of you might notice that I did not put points in Ion Shield. I put my points into Power Armor instead, which is essentially the same thing. By doing so, I will have access to Gut to gain extra DPS to put pressure on my opponents.

Below is a screenshot of my tank build for my Vanguard at level 50.

SWTOR Republic Trooper DPS Builds

Are you playing as a Republic Trooper in SWTOR and want to learn how to properly build for advanced class for DPS? If you are looking to build a strong character, you have come to the right place!

Hello there, my name is Connie Heo and I have been an avid Star Wars : The Old Republic player ever since beta. I consider myself to be a solid SWTOR player and have helped many people create stronger builds to tackle certain situations.

Below, I have outlined viable builds for the Republic Trooper that I have used in the past to be effective in DPS.

So, if you are looking for a straight forward guide to help you create a stronger Trooper Vanguard or Trooper Commando in SWTOR, I will show you how to properly build your talents, skills and stats.

Knowing how to have a solid and viable DPS build is important for both solo and team fights. By having the proper DPS build for either Trooper advanced classes, you will be able to quickly dispose of your enemies and keep constant pressure on them at all times.

However, keep in mind that if you go for a pure DPS build, you must be aware of your surroundings. The reason for this is because if you go for a pure DPS build, you probably do not have much talents in defense.

This will enable enemies to focus you down just as quickly as you focus your enemies down. So, make sure that you have a lot of mobility and plan escape routes to ensure maximum survivability on the battlefield.

Below are solid DPS builds for the Vanguard and Commando that I have successfully used in the past to deal heavy damage to my enemies.

SWTOR Trooper Vanguard DPS Build

To create a pure DPS build for my Trooper Vanguard, I opted to spec into the Assault Specialist talent tree (because it is the main Damage tree) and put the remainder of my points in the Tactics and Shield Specialist talent tree. My completed build for my Vanguard at level 50 is 5/5/31.

After much experimentation and credits spent on respec'ing, I found that this build offered the most damage output per second while still somewhat being able to tank damage from incoming enemies.

This build allowed me to have high sustained damage on my enemies due to the strong DoTs and damage related buff given from the Assault Specialist talent tree. However, this build limits your mobility and CC'ing opponents.

So be aware of your surroundings so that you won't over stay your welcome in enemy territory and plan an escape route when multiple enemies start to focus you. Below is a screenshot of my DPS build for my Vanguard at level 50.

SWTOR Trooper Commando DPS Build

The Trooper Commando has two talent trees that you can spec into for DPS, the Gunnery tree and the Assault Specialist tree. To create a pure DPS build that I enjoyed using, I opted to spec the majority of my points into the Assault talent tree and had the remainder of my points Gunnery and Combat Medic.

My completed DPS build for my Trooper Commando is 3/7/31.

I chose to spec into the Assault Specialist talent tree instead of the Gunnery Talent tree because I wanted to do massive damage to my enemies at a range instead of melee. This build would allow me to kite enemies and focus on multiple targets dealing heavy damage from a safe distance in order to put constant pressure on my opponents.

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

SWTOR Republic Trooper Leveling and PVE Builds

Are you playing as a Republic Trooper in SWTOR and want to learn how to properly build for advanced class for leveling and PVE? If you are looking to build a strong character, you have come to the right place!

Hello there, my name is Connie Heo and I have been an avid Star Wars : The Old Republic player ever since beta. I consider myself to be a solid SWTOR player and have helped many people create stronger builds to tackle certain situations.

Below, I have outlined viable builds for the Republic Trooper that I have used in the past to be effective in leveling and PVE.

So, if you are looking for a straight forward guide to help you create a stronger Trooper Vanguard or Trooper Commando in SWTOR, I will show you how to properly build your talents, skills and stats.

The first build that I will be covering in this Republic Trooper build guide is leveling and PVE. The reason why I will cover these builds first is because I feel that knowing how to level and PVE properly is one of the top priorities of SWTOR.

By learning how to properly build your Republic Trooper for leveling and PVE, you will be able to defeat large mobs, quests and elites effectively without having to wipe a hundred times.

Below, I have outlined leveling/PVE builds for both the Republic Vanguard and Republic Commando. Bear in mind that these builds below are suited towards my play style and might not necessarily reflect your best interest. If you do not like any of these builds, you may tweak or respec all together.

SWTOR Trooper Vanguard Leveling and PVE Build

When you have the proper leveling build for your Trooper Vanguard, you will be able to tank medium to large mobs well and destroy them quickly with your AOE abilities. The completed leveling/PVE build that I went with for my Vanguard is 4/6/31.

This build is more focused towards damage than survivability on the battlefield. The reason why I created this build was because I wanted a solo PVE only build.

I experimented with the Shield Specialist, Tactics and Assault Specialist talent trees and found that 4/6/31 was the better spec for solo PVE. Keep in mind that this suits my play style the best because I wanted to get up and close to my opponents to melt them away instead of resorting to my giant glowstick.

Also, remember to pick a companion that compliments your spec before you go and start leveling. Having a companion that is a good fit for your leveling/PVE build dramatically helps you when you are leveling.

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

SWTOR Trooper Commando Leveling and PVE Build

The Trooper Commando can either be built as a healer and support role or as a DPS and solo role when leveling.

The build that I settled on for my Commando was the DPS leveling/PVE build. The reason for this is because I do not really like to party with other people much since there are noobs everywhere, plus I love to deal heavy damage and quickly destroy large mobs.

For this reason, I spec'd into the Gunnery talent tree and put the remainder of my points in both the Combat Medic and Assault Specialist talent trees.

My completed leveling/PVE build for my Trooper Commando at level 50 is 5/31/5.

This build allowed me to take on multiple targets at once with my AOE abilities such as Hail Of Bullets, Sticky Grenades and Mortar Volley. However, you must learn to effectively rotate your abilities to ensure that you get the maximum damage when PVE'ing.

I typically tend to use my Hail Of Bullets and Sticky Grenades when my Mortar Volley is on cooldown. I find that these AOE abilities are excellent for keeping the pressure on while my high damaging skills are on cooldown.

SWTOR Sith Inquisitor PVP 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 PVP? 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 PVP.

In my opinion, PVP and warzones are one of the most fun aspects in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

This is why it is crucial for you to learn how to properly build your Sith Inquisitor properly to avoid dying 100 times and being called a noob by your team! Bear in mind though that PVP is not all about the build. Factors such as your teammates, equipment, strategies and even hot keys have an influence on how well you will do on the scoreboard.

But even though PVP builds aren't 100% of winning warzones, it is still important to learn how to have a viable build to increase your chances of winning. Below, I have outlined PVP builds for the Sith Sorcerer and Sith Assassin that has helped me obtain the #1 spot on the scoreboard many times. Remember that these builds are suited for my play style and might not necessarily work for you perfectly.

SWTOR Sith Inquisitor Sorcerer PVP Build

Although the Sith Inquisitor Sorcerer has a healing spec talent tree, do not mistaken them for a class with low damage. In fact, the Sith Sorcerer is able to deal heavy damage from a long range, melting enemies before they even get close.

The PVP build that I found to be effective and fun for my Sith Sorcerer is 0/22/19. This build requires some patience and opportunity as it focuses on sniping enemies from a far. However, if you implement this PVP build and get in range for some sniping on unsuspecting enemies, you will be astonished at how quickly you can burst them down with your heavy damage.

You will also be able to take on multiple enemies with your CC abilities from this build, however this requires some skill and experience.

What you will need to do is CC multiple enemies and kite them around until they have enough pressure from you to start retreating. Once that happens, make use of your heavy damage from sniping and take them out one by one.

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

SWTOR Sith Inquisitor Assassin PVP Build

To create a viable and solid PVP build for the Sith Inquisitor Assassin, I found that a hybrid build of all the talent trees (Darkenss, Deception and Madness) was in order to be effective in warzones. The PVP build that I settled upon after much experimentation is 22/12/7.

This PVP build allowed my Sith Assassin to be able to take significant incoming damage from enemies, while I still had enough damage from my spec to give my opponents pressure. From my experience, this build is a little difficult at lower levels, however once you begin to reach the leveling cap, all the abilities and talents from this build are sufficient to help you dominate warzones.

A good tip for you is to make good use of your taunt abilities. Mind Control and Mass Mind Control are very effective taunts that allow your Assassin to reduce your enemies damage by a nice 30% for 6 seconds. Remember, once the taunted enemies attack you, the reduced effects wear off.

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

SWTOR Sith Inquisitor Tank 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 tank? 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 tank.

To create a solid and viable tanking build for my Sith Inquisitor Assassin, I went with the standard spec of opting into important tanking abilities in the Darkness talent tree and put the rest of my points in the Madness tree.

My completed tank build for my Sith Assassin that I settled on is 31/0/10.

I found that the standard tank build for the Assassin is very effective compared to the other hybrid builds out there that people have been talking about.

This build allows me to have high survivability with its high chance block rate, moderate avoidance, stable damage mitigation and the ability to self-heal in the battlefield.

Although you may think that this build will yield low armor, abilities like Dark Charge and several others when activated will bring up the armor to a level similar to the Sith Juggernaut. Also, you get superior damage reduction for Elemental and Internal damage, which makes this build amazing for tanking.

SWTOR Sith Inquisitor Healer 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 healer? 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 healer.

Unlike its sister class of the Sith Warrior, one of the Sith Inquisitor's advanced class specializes in healing and the other specializes in tanking/DPS.

I usually prefer to play the Sith Sorcerer as a DPS class because of there awesome damage from range. However I have respec'd my Sorcerer a couple of times to play a supporting role and have used a viable healing build has been proven to be effective in team fights or raids.

For the healer spec, I chose to put the majority of my points into the Corruption talent tree and put the remainder of the points in both the Lightning and Madness talent trees. My completed healer build for my Sorcerer at level 50 is 32/7/2.

This healer build allowed me to easily and effectively keep my teammates alive in warzones or raids while maintaining and preserving my force/resources very efficiently. The lowered cool downs due to this spec also proved to be very effective for extra survivability on the battlefield.

Below is a screenshot of the healer build for my Sith Sorcerer at level 50.

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.
