SWTOR Smuggler PVP Builds

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:17:25 +0100

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.

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.

SWTOR Smugger Healing Builds

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:16:46 +0100

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

The Smuggler in SWTOR is one of the few classes in the game that cannot tank damage at all.

Instead of being able to take heavy damage, the Smuggler plays the supporting role of healing instead.

Having the right build for healing is absolutely crucial in team fights or warzones to avoid wiping and helping your team to victory.

Unlike the other builds mentioned above, only the Smuggler Scoundrel is able to have a viable healing build that works well. The Gunslinger is more for ranged DPS and PVE and does not have the proper healing talents to be useful.

With that said, I will only be covering a viable and versatile healing build for the Smuggler Scoundrel below.

SWTOR Smuggler Scoundrel Healing Build

In my opinion, the Smuggler Scoundrel is one of the most fun advanced classes to play as a healer/support unit. To build a viable healing build for my Scoundrel, I spec'd into Sawbone for the obvious reason of it being the healing tree and put the remainder of my points both Scrapper and Dirty Fighting.

My completed healing build at level 50 consisted of 31/3/7. This healing build for my Scoundrel allowed me to heal single and multiple targets effectively, while giving me the stealth and mobility to run away DPS enemies when necessary.

Remember to always keep an eye on your cool downs and energy to ensure maximum efficiency in team or solo fights. Below is a screenshot of my completed healing build for the Scoundrel at level 50.

SWTOR Smuggler DPS Build

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:16:04 +0100

Are you playing as a Smuggler in Star Wars : The Old Republic and would like to learn how to properly build your character for DPS? 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.

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

SWTOR Smuggler DPS Builds

DPS or damage per second is very important in solo or team fights. The more DPS you have, the quicker and more pressure you can put on enemies. By creating a solid and viable DPS build for the Smuggler can be very powerful and devastating towards your enemies.

The reason for this is because due to the combination of your ranged attacks and damage output, you will be able to melt enemies quickly before they even get a chance to reach you.

Below I have outlined viable DPS builds for both Smuggler Gunslinger and Smuggler Scoundrel. Be sure to take a look at them and try them out yourself.

SWTOR Smuggler Gunslinger DPS Build

The Smuggler Gunslinger is extremely fun to play when you go for a pure DPS build. For this DPS build to happen, I opted to spec into the Sharpshooter tree and put the remaining few points into my Saboteur and Dirty Fighting talent trees.

My DPS build for my Gunslinger at level 50 is 33/5/3.

I found that this build worked best with a tank companion. However, I experimented going a DPS companion as well and to my surprise that worked out quite well too. My high DPS was able to take out 4-5 opponents without even having to use my AOE abilities while soloing on the battlefield.

So, it really depends on your play style when you choose which companion to pair up with your DPS Gunslinger build. Below is a screenshot of my completed DPS build for my Gunslinger at level 50.

SWTOR Smuggler Scoundrel DPS Build

In my opinion, the Smuggler Scoundrel is the second best advanced class for DPS compared to the Smuggler Gunslinger. However, I have seen many people do very well as DPS since beta. It took me a while to come up with a viable and solid DPS build for my Smuggler Scoundrel. So please take some time to try it out before you critique it.

The DPS build that I finally settled on for my Scoundrel is 7/31/3.

This build focuses stealth and and high mobility. The reason why we want to have the most mobility as possible is because our most high damaging attacks are only within melee range, while our range attacks are basic and do little to none damage.

However, with our stealth abilities paired with our mobility, we will be to get up close and personal with our enemies and punch their faces off! Below is a screenshot of the completed DPS build for my Scoundrel at level 50.

SWTOR Smuggler Leveling and PVE Builds

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:18:57 +0100

Are you playing as a Smuggler in Star Wars : The Old Republic and would like to learn how to properly build your character for leveling and PVE situations? 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.

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

SWTOR Smuggler Gunslinger Leveling and PVE Build

The leveling and PVE spec that I wanted to go for with my Smuggler Gunslinger was AOE attacks. I felt that with AOE attacks, I can easily take on large group of mobs quickly without having too much trouble.

For leveling, I am not much of a one vs one DPS kind of girl because I find that it takes up too much of my time when I am leveling. You may want to try a different spec if you do not favor AOE attacks. My leveling and PVE build that I completed for my Gunslinger is 0/21/20.

This hybrid Smugger Gunslinger build of spec'ing into the Saboteur and Dirty Fighting talent tree allowed me to churn out lots of AOE attacks. On average, I was able to take on 5-6 mobs without any trouble.

I had built a pure Gunslinger spec previously, but it did not work out as well as I expected. This was because I had noticed that NPC's were usually all grouped together and by using this build, I was able to quickly melt the grouped NPC's with my AOE attacks.

Below is a screenshot of my Smuggler Gunslinger leveling and PVE build at level 50.

SWTOR Smuggler Scoundrel Leveling and PVE Build

I found that leveling as a Smuggler Scoundrel worked best for me when I was playing with my friends or in a big party. Keep this in mind as I explain to you my leveling and PVE build for my Scoundrel.

For my Gunslinger, I opted to spec into the Sawbone talent tree and split the remainder of my points into Scrapper and Dirty Fighting talent trees. The main focus of this build was to be a superior healer so that I could have as lots survivability for my teammates and I on the battlefield.The leveling and PVE build I committed to at level 50 with my Scoundrel is 33/3/5.

This build was very useful for my teammates and I in Heroics and Flashpoints. Also, if I wanted to solo mobs, the Sawbone spec build is very viable with a strong tank companion. Below is my completed leveling and PVE build at level 50 for my Scoundrel.
