Warrior General Games

What veteran abilities do you think are best for a safety?

I've maxed out track star, but I'm undecided on a second skill to put points into.

I'm thinking of maxing out Clutch, heh. It's tough, I've got my eye on Clutch, Zone Specialist, Red Zone Freak, Football Genius in that order. Things to ponder are Sure Tackler and, if I can get strength that high at some point, that making-the-receiver-drop-it ability.

Really? I was thinking like Long Reach and then maybe Jack Hammer or Power Tackler.

Jack Hammer's the one I was thinking about, I don't have enough strength :[

On a somewhat related note, it's interesting how these skills allow the creation of hard hitting corners and monster-hitting free-safeties. Hmmmmm.

I was also thinking about Jack Hammer and Power Tackler. Additionally, the Football Genius and Red Zone abilities look neat.

And a maxed out Big Heart would be awesome if you were losing--too bad you need 50 confidence.

I'd be hesitant on all of the stat-raising skills, seems a ginormous waste of these tricky skills ;p

You people with 50 strength (Jack Hammer) make me overflow with envy

Same here, my FS is only at 38 strength but it looks pretty good.

Clutch looking mighty tempting the more I look at the options, heh.

Discounting the bog standard stat raisers, (which I hope have been made intentioanlly weak) Clutch, Second Wind (could be very underrated), Zone Specialist, Red Zone Freak and Long Reach seem to be the most relevant choices for a primarily coverage safety.

I got Track Star and Jackhammer.

keep in mind that 61 vision and 5 in football genius gives you 64 vision...thats 9 skill points you can use in strength to get jackhammer lol

Second Wind does indeed look powerful. You don't even need that much in it for it to be that effective, too, it seems.

there is a thread where bort stated that heart of a champion is +1 per level, not +1% as it appears...if he isnt smoking crack and its coded as he says, that could be ridiculous too

So a level 30 player with 10 in HoaC will get a +300 confidence? That doesn't seem right.

Add Showboat to the list of abilities that could potentially be good (only just started to look at the 'grey' ones)

No they get +10.
