I've posted his attributes below. He hasn't been able to roll a Shed Blocks piece yet, but I have a crapload of tokens for upgrading whenever he does. His AEQ is in Wall because I found a piece that had +2 agility attached to it early on and just went with that. I am currently intense training Vision and Confidence. All EQ is in agility, and I'm wondering if I would be better off splitting some of it up and lowering Agility by 10 or so to pump up Strength by 10. If I don't start seeing some better production I might retire him. Any thoughts?

I've read Kayoh's stuff before and he is right on...I just thought that with agility at 100 and strength over 70 I would be seeing something a little more from him by this point.

You probably won't see production until you round out your build some more (IE more stamina, vision, shed blocks, speed, confidence, jumping). However you'll lose out on some free SPs by not taking your str higher because you'll definitely need more str than what you have.

yea you won't have much production with only 22 vision and even with that higher it won't be great until speed is higher. you can retire if you like but that's just how it is to build a DT.

He is a level 28 right now and I was planning on holding my points until I could bring speed to the next cap. Would you guys suggest spending the points on bringing Strength up to 77 instead?

Some people might. I wouldn't.

So if I stick to my plan, which is by LVL 32 to have speed up to the next cap and vision capped...along with finding a Shed Blocks piece....then he would round out nicely in your opinion?

Also I just rolled a Big Sack +3% Break Block. Is Big Sack worth a shit?

Its a morale buster if you get the sack and yes it does work - but you have to get the sack first. With the break block, thats a good piece.

Im not understanding why you arent bringing str up before you worry about speed? For a DT, their first job on most teams is to clog the middle against runs. Pass rushing is nice but not if that means that your DT/NT gets pushed into the cheerleaders on rushing plays. People will identify that right away and run up the gut all day long. Up to you, but in my opinion if you want to rush the QB, build a DE or OLB.

I would. I think a min of 85 strength is a must at Pro/WL level, and unless you want to put equipment there, it needs to be at 77 by level 33. Also, you have to project that by the time he gets to level 60, the average lvl 60 OL will be better than the average level 60 OL of today, so 85 may not be enough by then.

I've got a couple good NT and runstuffer builds going, I wanted to try and make a stud under tackle.
