Hey guys,

I have few training questions. It's probably easier to ask over pm so if anyone could give me a shout id be thankful.

Brett

Or i guess ill just start here:

So if i have a guy whose main attribute is at 33, I should raise it to 49 and then continue to train it? Or should i use more skill points to raise it to 60 or so? Or should I use or save those points on a secondary attribute? Thanks.

if you have a main attribute at 33 and have the SP to raise it to 49, do it. And yes, continue to train it with 4 way multi train

What should I do with the leftover SP once Ive raised it to 49? Use it or save it?

(Caveat: this advice assumes you want the best Pro level dot you can build. If you do not care about the end build, you can ignore this advice).

To add to bane's point, generally speaking (ie. 95% of the time; there are always exceptions), you do not want to spend SPs on your second attribute until you have finished raising the first attribute as high as you plan to go with SPs. I suppose if your second attribute is around 35 and you could cap it to get better training efficiency, that would not be a horrible idea, but for pretty much every player I have built / simmed, that did not happen until the first was past the 4th or 5th cap at least. The reason for this is that your first attribute is pretty much always the one you want to take the highest, and the sooner you get it to the last cap that you plan to take it to, the higher it will be in the end.

save them

save it until you have enough to get that main attribute to the next cap

do that till at least the 6:1 cap (if not more)

Save it until you can take the first attribute to 60. Then save the next ones until you can get it to 68. Players level pretty quickly at first, so they won't sit around unused for very long.

Ok that makes sense. So would I use more SP on my main attribute now (get it to 69 or so)? Or would I wait to use them?

Oh ok that makes sense.

personally I often take my main attribute to the 8:1 cap before moving away from it (but I still train in via 4way multi training even after hitting 8:1)

everyone is different though

Ok thanks. Would you only start multi-training once youve reached the 8th cap on your first attribute? Or do you 2way train first, then 3way..and so on?

There are several different approaches to this, which each have their benefits. Some folks multi-train very early in their build (basically as soon as they have the BTs to unlock the 3 attributes required for 4-way multi training). Others wait a season or so to start. I can not say which is better. However, you should not 2-way or 3-way multi train. They are simply not good enough to be worth it.

FWIW, I used 68 as an example, but I agree with Bane. I usually take my first attribute to the 7th cap at least. I hope my example did not cause confusion.

yep, don't ever 2 way multi train and almost absolutely never 3 way... 4 way multi train is the way to go

Like Plankton posted above, there are different ways to approach when to begin 4 way multi train. I tend to 3 star enhance my main attribute and intense train that attribute until I get it to the 3:1 cap (when it cost 3 SP to raise attribute 1) At that time I switch to normal train until I have the BT's to unlock 4way multi and I include my main attribute in that multi training still....most times until that attribute has reached 95-100 natural.

So many different ways people train and build dots. I enjoy my method , and I do not think it produces horrible dots .

I'm not sure I understand why it's bad to multi train 2 or 3 attributes. You still get an increase in training.. well, i can see not wasting your time with 2 times training, but 3 times? There is like a 10% difference between 3 or 4 attributes and you still get a +4 advantage in BT's. If you are trying to get your primary attributes up quickly and you have only 3 of them, wouldn't training those 3 be better so that you can train more often and get them up quicker? Just curious what the thought is with that. I typically do 4 attributes anyway, but I have had some dots do 3.

4 way multi over 3 way ...mainly because of the training gain % you get , and get them to 4 attributes instead of 3.

Also I believe it's more efficient for BT gains.

Take a 12 day period.

4 way multi training, you would get 3 trains in those 12 days resulting in 36 BT

3 way multi training, you would get 4 trains in those 12 days resulting in 32 BT

Plus the fact you are increasing 4 attributes and at a higher %


I have done some 3 way training later in a dots build , like around lvl 55 and just before switching to light training for AEQ BT's. But that's just me and only in certain situations.
