Okay, I've been trying to figure out what to do here and could use some expert advice. Here's the situation:

Current AE: Break tackle chance +19%

Other (unequipped) purchased AE:

+1 Lower the Shoulder SA
+1 jumping, +1 Quick Cut SA
+1 stamina, +1 Dive for Yardage SA
+1 Power Through SA
+1 Quick Cut SA

Currently in Store: +1 Spin SA;
+3 agility, Break tackle chance +3%

Current Bonus Tokens: 31

Current Power Back VAs (with custom):

Cover up: 5
Lower the Shoulder: 8
Stiff Arm: 5
Power Through: 9
Dive 4 Yards: 1

Ideally, the best one is probably Power Through, however that's already currently at 9 and after equipping it, it would be a the point of diminishing returns. I'm not sure if it'd be worth it. Same goes for Lower the Shoulder. Spin is interesting, however it is more or less for Elusive Backs and I'm not sure my guy has the Agility to pull it off consistently enough to make it worth it. The +3 agility, Break tackle chance +3%, is also interesting. Combined with my current piece of AE, I could get Break Tackle Chance initially to +26%. I'm the least excited for the +1 Dive for Yardage SA, even though it's listed last on the Power Back tree. I just don't find much value in it compared to some others.

Whatever I do, if I do anything, it would take away +5 SPs from normal equipment, which is a lot right now. In a few days he'll have 32 bonus tokens and can upgrade one more time, which would put BT % at 28% total and only be losing +4 SPs from normal equipment, which is a bit easier to swallow and possibly be more beneficial to pull the trigger on. But I'm not sure.

I wouldn't be surprised if the best decision is to do nothing, but I'm not sure with all these options and nearly 32 bonus tokens that's the case at this point.

Thanks guys.

what's your agi at? that spin piece looks pretty outstanding...but it depends on your build

I'd go with that second brtk piece, build it for a bit before equipping. Power through would be my second choice, but nobody knows how sharp the drop is over 10, but it's most likely less of an advantage than that +% brtk will give you.

Also, what's the build look like?

tbh I'd go with spin, not just for the SA but +3 agility is pretty good. Plus, buy that and potentially you could just interchange the EQ you want on any given day.

Unless I'm reading it wrong the Spin AE doesn't have an attribute attached, the +%brtk has +3 agility.

Correct. They are two separate pieces. The +3 agility has the +3% break tackle. +1 Spin is by itself.

Agility is under 70.

That's what I'm leaning towards but I just don't know.
