**1.3 PVP BUILDS ** Any changes in preference?

[Lethorien]

Now everyone has had a few days to enjoy patch 1.3, have their been many changes to peoples opinions when it comes to builds in PVP. For example. I play a Sith Marauder and Ive been playing Annilation build virtually for the last 2 patches. Is this still the optimum build for 1 on 1. Im fairly sure it is, but I know other builds are enjoying larger AOE Dps, which is actually pumping out more dmg overall then single target. I know carnage has been buffed but can anyone really say with any amount of certainty if its been buffed enough to make it a viable option?

What are the views on this? Also in terms of Aug slots for Mara builds - is Strenght / End still the preferred or are people swaying toward End/power
Thoughts and view welcome and feel free to discuss other classes and builds.

The mara in our guild switched to power and seems to have better results over a strenght aug build. I don't play that class myself, so i can't really say much more unfortunately

I've changed my vanguard from a tank/dps hybrid which was good 1v1 to a full assault spec because of the stockstrike nerf, do a lot more damage but i die a lot quicker :P i'm also still augmenting endurance/power, but if anyone has any suggestions for me ill be happy to read them

Depending on the map/group comp I sometimes switch to rage. Rage has an extra 10% dmg reduction thanks to talents and lowered cd of Undying Rage which is nice but it's nothing compared to to Annis heals which trumpts Rages extra dmg reduction IMO. However Rage is really good fun if you can be kept alive and the opposition is dumb enough to be grouped up (which dps usually are if they are focusing targets) you can really bring the pain. Last night I beat a PT tank with 23k hp as Anni but as Rage I couldn't do that 1v1. Down to your preference really
