Sith Marauder Builds (updated for patch 1.2)

Sith Warriors in SWTOR can become one of two advanced classes at level 10, a Sith Marauder (A pure DPS Class) or a Sith Juggernaut (DPS / Tank class that uses sheilds and heavy armor). The Sith Marauder uses two light sabers to do impressive melee damage. Sith Marauders have three trees to choose talents from: Annihilation (DPS tree), Carnage (DPS tree) and Rage (a shared DPS tree shared with the Juggernaut Class).

Below I will list the best sith marauder builds to use for your sith warrior so you do not have to waste valuble play time figuring out what sith marauder builds work best.

If you wish to submit a marauder build please email it to admin@marauderbuilds.com, listing what it is for and any other relevant information I should know about this marauder build.
