SWTOR Republic Trooper PVP Builds

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:28:39 +0100

Are you playing as a Republic Trooper in SWTOR and want to learn how to properly build for advanced class for PVP? 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 PVP.

Having the proper PVP build for your Trooper in SWTOR can make you a huge threat in the warzones. The ability to tank heavy damage and the ability to melt enemies down quickly with high powered range attacks makes the Republic Trooper a very strong class for PVP.

However, you need to bear in mind that PVP is not 100% about your build. Factors such as communications, team strategies, ability rotations and gear all come into play if you want to consistently be #1 on the scoreboard.

Although having a viable build isn't everything in PVP, it is a large part of the game and it is necessary for you to have a viable build to win warzones. Below, I have outlined viable PVP builds for Trooper Vanguard and Trooper Commando.

SWTOR Trooper Vanguard PVP Build

Majority of the Trooper Vanguards PVP builds are narrowed down to either DPS ( Tactics or Assault Specialist talent tree) or tank (Shield Specialist). After much experimentation with both types of PVP builds within the warzone, I have found that spec'ing into the Shield Specialist talent tree proved to be the most effective.

My completed PVP build for my Vanguard at level 50 is 27/11/3.

Trooper Vanguards spec'd into the Shield Specialist talent tree are incredibly hard to kill one on one. Usually, a couple of people will be required to quickly take you down, however is the DPS with this PVP build any good?

Actually, this build allowed me to have a huge amount of survivability within warzones while still able to deal enough damage to keep pressure on your enemies.

I was able to Stockstrike criticals often for 1.7k-2.2k and HIB hits for 1k-1.3k. This is surprisingly good for a PVP build focused on survivability and tanking. Below is a screenshot of my PVP build for my Vanguard at level 50.

SWTOR Trooper Commando PVP Build

Just like the Trooper Vanguard, the Trooper Commando has two play styles available for PVP. You can either choose to play as a healer role or a DPS character.

The PVP build that best suited my play style was the DPS route as I liked to put a dent in my opponents defenses. For this reason, I spec'd into the Gunnery talent tree and put my remaining points in the Combat Medic tree.

My completed PVP build for my Trooper Commando is 13/28/0.

This PVP allowed me to have enough DPS to burst down enemies and have good survivability on the warzone for healing myself with my Combat Medic talents. CC abilities are also available with this build so that when you become a threat to your enemies and they start focusing on you, you will be able to CC them to get out of dangerous situations easily.

SWTOR Republic Trooper Healer Builds

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:27:48 +0100

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

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

The Trooper Commando is an excellent support for raids if you know how to properly build your class for the healing role. To create this build to become a pure support character, I opted into the Combat Medic tree for obvious reasons and put my remaining points in both the Gunnery talent tree and the Assault Specialist talent tree.

My completed healer build for my Commando is 31/8/2.

This healing build for the Commando is extremely effective at healing and keeping your teammates alive during raids or boss fights. In my opinion, I believe this to be the cookie-cutter build for Commando raid healing spec.

However, keep in mind that you will have to manage your resources, cooldowns and ability rotations effectively to have the max healing to support your teammates.

It simply isn't just a couple of buttons, but more of a strategic management of your skills and cool downs to be an effective healer for your team. Below is a screenshot of my healing build for my Commando at level 50.

SWTOR Republic Trooper Tank Builds

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:27:11 +0100

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!

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

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:26:35 +0100

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!

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

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:26:03 +0100

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!

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.

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