Building a LG and LOT. From the teams I've looked over, so far, I've noticed that alot of guards/OTs in these positions put their gear towards STR and Blocking.

Why not Agility?

And would you advise people who are slow building these positions to upgrade equipment with Agility, STR, or Blocking?

I dont know about LG but for LOT I like CE in Block with a mix of the other pieces in BLK and Agi maybe 3 BLK 1 Agi or 2 and 2 .

LG traditionally have been going one on one against very strong NTs. Now, the NTs are agility based, and LGs are slow to adjust really. That is probably why you see them with high strength.

LOT traditionally have thought str/blk are equally important and that agility was a minor. The new opinion is that blk/agi are the most important attributes, but once again people are too slow to move over their equip and adjust. Stubborn, maybe.

I'm not so sure about justifying agility equip for a LG - 60 is probably fine base. You could have a reserve piece of agility just for going up against good competition, but I'd probably still go str.

For the LOT, I'd run 3 blk 1 agi, assuming I had str/blk/agi all to 68. Otherwise use equip to compensate for wahtever you didn't take to 68, such as 2 agi if you only went to 60. I don't agree with pepole who think 60 str + no equip is enough, though.

Thanks, that helped alot.

That is a great post Octowned and I agree with your assessment

I could be wrong but don't LG go up against the DTs in GLB and the C and RG double team the NT most of the time?

The rest of your post is spot on as most of the GLB DT's are heading/headed towards agility.

Yeah, I'm not too good with the DT/NT difference, I just know that one gets double teamed, massive strength, the other is one on one, agility. Guess I flopped the initials

That's what I'm doing on mine.
My agility piece just happens to be a nice AE.
