Marauder Carnage Basics Guide

Carnage

Agile and swift, the Carnage Marauder wins the day by way of sheer volume. As a devastating flurry of dual lightsaber strikes and Force attacks overwhelm their foe, each successful flow can serve to embolden the Carnage Marauder in their assault, making them all the more deadly.

  • Role: Damage
  • Type: Burst Damage
  • Weapon: Double Lightsabers
  • Distance: Melee Range
  • Mirror: Sentinel – Combat

Carnage for New Players

  • Marauders start without any Rage, which is their energy pool for attacks. This might make them harder to learn compared to other classes that start with a full bar of energy, as you need to learn how to build your Rage up before you can use some of your other abilities. It’s easy to build Rage, but you can’t button mash. Carnage is especially tight with Rage when playing at a high-end.
  •  Carnage is melee range, which means you must be very close to your enemy to attack, which can be harder for new players to get used to. You get a jump ability to help you get into combat quicker and can throw your double lightsabers if you get too far away.
  •  This discipline is very mobile and you can easily run and jump around while fighting without any issues!
  • Carnage is the most interesting of the three Marauder disciplines, as it can be very easy to play or very complicated to play depending on how deep you want to dive into it. It’s also one of the few classes that you really, really must first earn and obtain two pieces of high-level equipment before you can play it smoothly, which makes it less accessible than the other two Marauder disciplines. However, once you have those two gear pieces, if you can memorize a tight 19-ability rotation, even newer players can do incredibly high damage. I highly recommend looking up a guide while learning this class at a high level.

How to play a Carnage Marauder

You can start playing Carnage at level 1. To start playing Carnage, you will need to first create a Marauder character, which can be played by Sith Warriors and Sith Inquisitors (or even the Jedi Knight and Jedi Consular if you unlock the dark-side Combat Styles.)

Once you are ingame, press K on your keyboard to open the Combat Style tab, and choose Carnage from the three options. This choice is not permanent, you will be able to switch between all three options by finding a rest location like a cantina.

Below Level 80

Below Level 80

If you are below level 80, there are no true guides available to tell you what specific abilities you should be using, because the ideal rotation would change every level.

Instead, you can use this guide to figure out which of your abilities are attacks, which are defensive, and which are just useful.

Level 80

5 Ability Basic Rotation

Not quite ready to learn all your abilities yet? Use this quick 5-ability rotation for the Carnage Marauder until you’re ready to read and learn from a true level 80 guide.

IMPORTANT! You must have the Shard of Mortis + Dispatcher equipment items to make this work. See the “Before you start…” section below.

Starting the fight:

  • Start with Dual Saber Throw to throw your lightsabers from far away, which will help you build your Rage.
  • Jump into the fight with Force Charge, as it will also help you build Rage.

In the fight:

  • Battering Assault builds a lot of rage – it will fill half your energy bar, so use it to get started or whenever you are low on energy.
  •  Massacre does extra bonus when used three times in a row, but using it three times in a row costs a lot of Rage.
  • Vicious Throw is one of your highest-hitting abilities, but it isn’t always available.
  • Devastating Blast is another great source of damage, and does extra damage when it’s glowing.
  • Dual Saber Throw helps you generate Rage.

Basic Rotation

Make sure to start by throwing your lightsabers and leaping in to build Rage.

Block 1

Block 2

Start with Battering Assault to build Rage, do 3 Massacres, use either (Vicious Throw + Devastating Blast) or (Devastating Blast + Saber Throw) depending on what’s available, do two more Massacres, and then start over with Battering Assault to build Rage up again.

Thank you very much to player Bagern for helping us figure out this basic rotation for such a complicated class!

More than 3 Enemies

  • Smash is a great Area Damage attack to use on multiple targets.
  • If you still need more area damage, Sweeping Slash is spam-able.

Extra Tips

Carnage Marauder is a class you can build many layers in to, making it more complex to do higher damage.

  • Feeling Spicy? Use Berserk when it is sparkling and available, as it lets you hit your enemy even faster.
  •  If you have time before the fight, use your regeneration ability Channel Hatred, to build 30 stacks of Fury, which is a buff that shows up near your character portrait. If you have time to regenerate before the fight, you can use Berserk right away after you leap in, before you start your rotation.
  • Gore is another high-hitting ability you can work into your rotation, as it reduces the enemy’s armor.
  • Feeling Spicier? Ferocity, while not an attack, is important to doing higher damage as a Carnage Marauder, as it makes your next two attacks ignore all armor on a target, which is a huge boost to damage for burst classes like Carnage. You’ll want to use this as often as possible and fit the right two abilities immediately after, which will likely be Vicious Throw, Gore, and Devastating Blast. Ferocity ignores your rage-building Battering Assault and mini-rage-building Dual Saber Throw, so you can safely use them if you need to build Rage up, without worrying about them stealing a Ferocity slot. Ferocity can also be combined with Smash for area damage.
  •  Feeling very spicy? Frenzy will let you use Bloodthirst right away, which lets you and your group do more damage, Bloodthirst can only be used once every five minutes. Solo, you can start your fights off with this for a boost of damage.

Complicated Rotation

There is also a really heavy-hitting rotation available that balances building rage and doing damage really well. The down-side is it is harder to memorize, and if you make a mistake, it’s much harder to recover, however it does a lot of damage when executed perfectly. At a basic level, you will need to start by throwing your lightsabers and leaping in so you have enough Rage to do the repeating rotation.

Berserk – Massacre – Ferocity – Massacre – Vicious Throw – Devastating Blast – Massacre – Battering Assault – Massacre three in a row – Ferocity – Gore – Devastating Blast – Ravage – Battering Assault – Massacre – Dual Saber Throw – Massacre

Thank you player Bagern for this updated 7.1 rotation!

Level 80

Before you start…

There are two items that can make Carnage Marauder’s Rage a lot easier to manage, and I recommend you try and get them as soon as possible.

When you have 3,000 Tech Fragments, go and buy the Shard of Mortis tactical item and equip it.

Make sure you have started the Legendary Implants quest, and once you have completed it and you have 6,500 Tech Fragments, go and buy the Dispatcher Package legendary implant and equip it.

  • Force Charge - Leap - Jump to a faraway enemy.Level 1
  • Channel Hatred - Regeneration - Regain health out of battle.Level 1
  • Unleash - Stun Break - If you are stunned and can’t move, you can use this ability to unstun yourself.Level 10

Tree Choices

As you level up, you will be able to make choices about how you play your Carnage Marauder with the Ability Tree, which can be opened with the K key on your keyboard. If you do not choose one, a default option will be chosen for you.

You will have eight choices to make as you level up, at levels 23, 27, 39, 43, 51, 64, 68 and 73. All of these Ability Tree choices are not permanent choices and can be changed later. If you are following a Level 80 guide on how to play your Carnage Marauder, you will need to make sure to choose the same options as they have. You may not have the same choices chosen as a friend who is also playing a Carnage Marauder.

Level 23 Choice: Gore Change

Choose from one of three ways that you want Gore to change at level 23. Your options are Piercing Gore, Driving Gore, and Berserk Gore.

Gore

Impales the target with both lightsabers, dealing weapon damage and hindering the target for 1.5 seconds, preventing the use of high mobility actions and escapes. In addition, it Sunders the target for 45 seconds. Sundered targets have their armor rating reduced by 20%. Requires two lightsabers.

Piercing Gore

Gore deals additional damage to up to 8 enemies in a cone behind the primary target.

Multi-Enemy Solo Suggestion: Piercing Gore - For large packs of trash mobs, Piercing Gore can do a lot of dps provided you line it up properly!

Solo Single-Strong-Enemy Suggestion: Berserk Gore - This interaction with Berserk is definitely your best DPS boost on this tier of choices. You have six charges of Berserk, using Gore on the last one should ensure you can Gore twice before the next Berserk activation.

Flashpoint Suggestion: Berserk Gore - This interaction with Berserk is definitely your best DPS boost on this tier of choices. You have six charges of Berserk, using Gore on the last one should ensure you can Gore twice before the next Berserk activation.

Level 27 Choice

Choose from one of three Marauder abilities at Level 27, you can only have one of these options at any given time. Your options as a Carnage Marauder for the Level 27 choice are Snaring Slash, Overwhelming Slashes, and Predation.

Snaring Slash

Vicious Slash, Massacre and Ravage slow targets they hit by 50% for 10 seconds.

Applies Predation to you and your group members within 40 meters, increasing movement speed by 80%, melee and ranged defense by 10%, and purges movement-impairing effects. Lasts 10 seconds.

Solo Single-Strong-Enemy Suggestion: Predation - Predation is an extremely useful speed boost and slight defensive ability, and since nobody can take it for you when playing solo, you must take it yourself!

Multi-Enemy Solo Suggestion: Predation - Predation is an extremely useful speed boost and slight defensive ability, and since nobody can take it for you when playing solo, you must take it yourself!

Flashpoint Suggestion: Predation - Predation is an extremely useful speed boost and slight defensive ability, This is a great buff to share with your group members during movement-heavy fights or just for going from point A to point B faster. Only consider a different choice if someone else is already using Transcendence/Predation.

Only consider a different choice if someone else is already using Transcendence/Predation.

Level 39 Choice: Massacre Change

Choose from one of three ways that you want Massacre to change at level 39. Your options are Defensive Stance, Rush Down, and Frenzied Blade.

Massacre

Strikes the target with both weapons for weapon damage and automatically triggers an Ataru Form strike, bypassing Ataru Form's rate limit. For 6 seconds after using Massacre, your Ataru Form has an extra 30% chance to be triggered. Requires two lightsabers. Replaces Vicious Slash.

Defensive Stance

Each time you deal damage with Massacre your damage reduction increases by 2%. Stacks up to 3 times and lasts for 6 seconds.

Rush Down

Massacre deals 10% additional damage for each movement enhancing effect you've applied to yourself.

Frenzied Blade

Massacre's critical chance is increased by 20%. Activating Massacre reduces the cooldown of Frenzy by 2 seconds.

Massacre's critical chance is increased by 20%. Activating Massacre reduces the cooldown of Frenzy by 2 seconds.

General Suggestion: Frenzied Blade - Massacre is a very frequently used ability outside of your ferocity buff. The constant cooldown reduction will really help speed up carnage Marauder!

Level 43 Choice

Choose from one of three Marauder abilities at Level 43, you can only have one of these options at any given time. Your options as a Carnage Marauder for the Level 43 choice are Furious Power, Swiftness, and Quickness.

Furious Power

Consumes all ability charges of Furious Power and applies that many Furious Power stacks to you for 15 seconds. Each stack increases your next direct single target melee attack by 25% and is consumed whenever you deal damage with these attacks. Recharges 1 ability charge every 15 seconds to a maximum of 4 charges.

General Suggestion: Swiftness - 25% increased crit chance as long as you keep critting is pretty easy to maintain. Definitely the best choice here.

Level 51 Choice

Choose from one of three Marauder abilities at Level 51, you can only have one of these options at any given time. Your options as a Carnage Marauder for the Level 51 choice are Inexorable, Interloper, and Steel Self.

Inexorable

You generate 4 rage when stunned, immobilized, put to sleep, or knocked around. Additionally, the cooldown of Unleash is reduced by 30 seconds.

Steel Self

Increases internal and elemental damage reduction by 3%. In addition, Activating Bloodthirst, Cloak of Pain, or Predation reduces the damage you take from area effects by 30% for 10 seconds.

Increases internal and elemental damage reduction by 3%. In addition, Activating Bloodthirst, Cloak of Pain, or Predation reduces the damage you take from area effects by 30% for 10 seconds.

Solo Single-Strong-Enemy Suggestion: Inexorable - Lots of difficult fights to solo in SWTOR can be made more maneageable if you can break out of Stuns more often. If damage is the bigger issue, take Steel Self and keep Predation handy for some Area Reduction.

Multi-Enemy Solo Suggestion: Interloper - Jumping around from group to group of enemies can make the leveling process much faster, and the boost of Fury will help keep Berserk going without pausing between each pack.

Flashpoint Suggestion: Steel Self - Bloodthirst should be saved as a cooldown for you group when they want it, but Cloak of Pain and Predation can be kept in your pocket for moments of large, group-wide damage you'd like to survive.

Operation Suggestion: Steel Self - Bloodthirst should be saved as a cooldown for you group when they want it, but Cloak of Pain and Predation can be kept in your pocket for moments of large, group-wide damage you'd like to survive.

Level 64 Choice

Choose from one of three Marauder abilities at Level 64, you can only have one of these options at any given time. Your options as a Carnage Marauder for the Level 64 choice are Cloak of Retribution, Path Carver, and Blood Ward.

Cloak of Retribution

Each use of Assault and Battering Assault reduces the active cooldown of Cloak of Pain by 3 seconds. While Cloak of Pain is active, it generates 1 rage whenever you are attacked. This effect cannot occur more than once every 2 seconds.

Each use of Assault and Battering Assault reduces the active cooldown of Cloak of Pain by 3 seconds. While Cloak of Pain is active, it generates 1 rage whenever you are attacked. This effect cannot occur more than once every 2 seconds.

Path Carver

Sweeping Slash deals 15% more damage.

Blood Ward

Activating Saber Ward grants immunity to stun, sleep, lift, and incapacitating effects for 6 seconds, and getting attacked while Saber Ward is active heals you for 3% of your maxiumum health. This healing effect cannot occur more than once every second.

Activating Saber Ward grants immunity to stun, sleep, lift, and incapacitating effects for 6 seconds, and getting attacked while Saber Ward is active heals you for 3% of your maxiumum health. This healing effect cannot occur more than once every second.

Multi-Enemy Solo Suggestion: Path Carver - Decent AoE boost for easy content where you can pull lots.

Solo Single-Strong-Enemy Suggestion: Blood Ward - Blood Ward is a great defensive as it kind of turns Saber Ward into a mini-Enraged Defense with the heal per attack component. Cloak of Retribution would be a nice option for extra Rage generation if needed (shouldnt need it, though), and Path Carver is good for a boost to AoE damage, so all choices in this tier are competitive, but I'd take this one as default until i need to switch for some AoE.

Level 68 Choice

Choose from one of three Marauder abilities at Level 68, you can only have one of these options at any given time. Your options as a Carnage Marauder for the Level 68 choice are Force Choke, Mad Dash, and Undying Rage.

Force Choke

Chokes the target, stunning it for 4 seconds and generating moderate threat. Deals kinetic damage and builds 3 rage over the duration. This ability can be channeled while moving.

You can use your short stun on weaker enemies to stop them from running around, from casting abilities, to stop them from damaging you, or just to keep them out of the fight in general.

Mad Dash

Quickly rush forward 20 meters, dealing weapon damage to enemies in your path and increasing your defense chance by 100% while dashing. Can be used while immobilized and purges movement-impairing effects when activated.

Undying Rage

Reduces the damage you take by 99% for 6 seconds.

Reduces the damage you take by 99% for 6 seconds.

Multi-Enemy Solo Suggestion: Mad Dash - It doesn't exactly do impressive AoE damage, but if you're just clearing hallways of trash quickly, Mad Dashing through is probably the best choice.

Solo Single-Strong-Enemy Suggestion: Undying Rage - 6 seconds may not sound like a lot of time but taking virtually no damage for that long can be the difference between clearing a hard piece of content in the game and dying. Make a habit of using it quickly if you see you suddenly get aggro. For content where the target is susceptible to stuns, Force Choke can serve as an extra interrupt and Mad Dash is a great additional movement ability, but if those aren't needed definitely keep Undying Rage as your default skill.

Level 73 Choice

Choose from one of three Marauder abilities at Level 73, you can only have one of these options at any given time. Your options as a Carnage Marauder for the Level 73 choice are Thirst for Rage, Interceptor, and Brazen.

Thirst for Rage

Bloodthirst generates 12 rage when activated, and you heal for 1% of your maximum health whenever you activate an ability that consumes rage.

Bloodthirst generates 12 rage when activated, and you heal for 1% of your maximum health whenever you activate an ability that consumes rage.

Interceptor

Force Charge, Force Rend, Devastating Blast, and Obliterate snare the target, reducing its movement speed by 50% for 6 seconds.

Force Charge, Force Rend, Devastating Blast, and Obliterate snare the target, reducing its movement speed by 50% for 6 seconds.

Increases your damage reduction by 2%, and you build 2 Fury when attacked. This Fury building effect cannot occur more than once every 1.5 seconds.

General Suggestion: Thirst for Rage - Even if you're forgetting to use Bloodthirst in most content, the passive 1% heal every time you use a Rage spender alone makes this choice the best in the tier. Default to this for sure.

Enemy castbars that fill up from left to right are called casts and can be interrupted and the ability will be stopped, but castbars that go from right to left deal damage the entire time they are channeling. Using your interrupt in combat is very useful as it can prevent the enemy from damaging you, or sometimes even prevent them from stunning you or knocking you back!

Flashpoint Suggestion: Predation is an extremely useful speed boost and slight defensive ability, This is a great buff to share with your group members during movement-heavy fights or just for going from point A to point B faster.

Solo Single-Enemy Suggestion: Lots of difficult fights to solo in SWTOR can be made more maneageable if you can break out of Stuns more often. If damage is the bigger issue, take Steel Self and keep Predation handy for some Area Reduction.

LvL51

LvL64
Blood WardOptional Passive Level 64 Option 3/3

Activating Saber Ward grants immunity to stun, sleep, lift, and incapacitating effects for 6 seconds, and getting attacked while Saber Ward is active heals you for 3% of your maxiumum health. This healing effect cannot occur more than once every second.

Activating Saber Ward grants immunity to stun, sleep, lift, and incapacitating effects for 6 seconds, and getting attacked while Saber Ward is active heals you for 3% of your maxiumum health. This healing effect cannot occur more than once every second.

General Suggestion: Blood Ward is a great defensive as it kind of turns Saber Ward into a mini-Enraged Defense with the heal per attack component. Cloak of Retribution would be a nice option for extra Rage generation if needed (shouldnt need it, though), and Path Carver is good for a boost to AoE damage, so all choices in this tier are competitive, but I'd take this one as default until i need to switch for some AoE.

LvL68
Force ChokeOptional Stun 10m (short range) Level 68 Option 1/3

Chokes the target, stunning it for 4 seconds and generating moderate threat. Deals kinetic damage and builds 3 rage over the duration. This ability can be channeled while moving.

Quickly rush forward 20 meters, dealing weapon damage to enemies in your path and increasing your defense chance by 100% while dashing. Can be used while immobilized and purges movement-impairing effects when activated.

Solo Many-Enemy Suggestion: It doesn't exactly do impressive AoE damage, but if you're just clearing hallways of trash quickly, Mad Dashing through is probably the best choice.

LvL68
Undying RageOptional Defensive Level 68 Option 3/3

Reduces the damage you take by 99% for 6 seconds.

Reduces the damage you take by 99% for 6 seconds.

General Suggestion: 6 seconds may not sound like a lot of time but taking virtually no damage for that long can be the difference between clearing a hard piece of content in the game and dying. Make a habit of using it quickly if you see you suddenly get aggro. For content where the target is susceptible to stuns, Force Choke can serve as an extra interrupt and Mad Dash is a great additional movement ability, but if those aren't needed definitely keep Undying Rage as your default skill.

LvL68

Bloodthirst generates 12 rage when activated, and you heal for 1% of your maximum health whenever you activate an ability that consumes rage.

General Suggestion: Even if you're forgetting to use Bloodthirst in most content, the passive 1% heal every time you use a Rage spender alone makes this choice the best in the tier. Default to this for sure.
