Hi there,

I've got a Strength MLB and an Agile LOLB. I'm trying to decide what SA or % to go for when I buy some AEQ for them. I'm thinking Defense General for the MLB and maybe Diving Tackle for the LOLB.

If you had to have only one piece of AEQ for an MLB or LOLB, what SA or % would you choose? Thanks...

J.

Make tackle %

Make tackle % is a good choice for any LB position. FF % could be good for the MLB depending on your build (ie high tackling). Shed block or break block % could be good for the LOLB.

Cool, definitely seems to be a concensus for Make Tackle! I take it something like Make Tackle is better than going for an SA?

I also have an VA in Sure Tackle, is it ok to have both Sure Tackle and Make Tackle?

Thanks...

Not a fan of sure tackler. Id go with textbook tackler over it.

Yeah, I have to admit, I wasn't convinced by Sure Tackler either, as it only forces a re-roll on a missed tackle, which could easily then turn out to be another missed tackle!

Textbook Tackler up to 15 would give me a 7.5% bonus to Tackling, which would be around 5 extra ( or 15 SPs extra, as my tackling is currently in the mid 60s ). That's a pretty decent bonus alright, I might look into that! I'd then have my tackling in the mid 60s, a 7.5% bonus to Tackling AND I'd work on my % Make Tackle AEQ as well...

Thanks...

Shed blocks and make tackle for strength based MLB. Shutdown coverage and supervision (and make tackle %) for coverage LOLB.

Count me in the group that considers this to be a wide spread myth.

Not that I'm super high on this VA, I just know that there is no logic to back that statement up since we don't know the level of randomization that takes place in the roll or how much is determined by non-attribute factors like velocity and balance.

I can say that, so far, it's not helping my SS much. but his tackle score is really low atm.

avoid fake is the most underrated AEQ for a LB, especially LOLB.

For a pass rushing LB I am quite fond of First Step.
