Chaostoni Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I played some swtor a few years ago and i used to play as Carnage. Mostly PvE in hardcore and dipping into nightmare operations. i was wondering if carnage is viable for that kind of content now or if i should switch? I saw some comments in this sub forum about carnage being bad and fury or annihilation is the way to go but im not sure if thats just for PvP or in general. And if Carnage is bad which spec would be the one to play? Or wouldnt it matter untill you get to the master difficulty of the operations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmnqwk Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Anni is top right now, but due to a limited burst potential you also want to learn Fury. Carnage is not 'rubbish' but it's nowhere near the other specs in terms of damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TmoneyTime Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 With Maras the specs breakdown as follows: Fury: Currently is the best of both worlds being A tier in pvp and B+ tier in PVE PVP: Best PVE: Good Anni: Anni is in S tier for PVE right now along with TK and Both PT dps specs. PVP is around D Tier levels due to all the CC that is thrown around and less then stellar burst. PVP: Below Average PVE: Best Carnage: Can't really compete in PVP or PVE right now the spec is limited in PVP by CC like Anni but dosn't have the sustained damage to make it good in PVE. Its in the F tier right now along with Hatred. The spec needs a rework badly. PVP: Below Average PVE: F Tier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zenislav Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) So for doing random content and soloing outside high end pve and ranked pvp would you recommend Anni with some dot self heals or Fury for its burst? What spec is more durable if there is even difference? I do questing and heroics with dps companion and man out of all classes sentinel / mara just feel squishiest of them all. Returned to game and decided to go w fresh character Edited June 10, 2021 by Zenislav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diefexor Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I think the hate on Carnage is way overblown and people are just parroting each other. They are literally in the middle of the pack dps wise and only 3% below Annihilation and 0.75% behind fury which is not very much. http://parsely.io/parser/stats PVP wise they have a nuke every 10 seconds with Ferocity, and you can spec for more mobility. Carnage is in a better spot than Vengeance/Rage Jugg and defiantly viable. Charge> Crippling slash> Battering assault> Massacre> Ferocity>Furious Power>The Prosecution buffed Devastating blast > Gore > Vicious Throw. Scary burst.

Remember, most of the time you're not hitting into someone without SOME kind of dcd or adrenal or something to mitigate the damage. Vanguard can power through my Pacify AND Saber Ward fairly effectively. I will still be at about 70% health if done right. I don't know of anything else that can do that. Presently, scary burst is Vanguard, Operative, and Shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
