I have an upgrade at level 32 and am unsure what to choose.

Stuck between 3% pass quality, 3% pass distance, 3% fake chance, or other. What works best?

After you finish your AEQ then decide it.
Don't do it at this time.

Yes. Do this. Very smart.

QB shopping is so easy that PQ should be in custom regardless for a 3 AEQ build (bc of 3xPQ 1xPD). If you are doing 4 AEQ with all % pieces and do not care about early success then do what aaasahi said.

This.

IMO 3x PQ pieces is kind of a waste.

You can use your CEQ on it and instead of getting a total of 12% to say Fake % you'll get an extra 3% to pass quality.

I would personally wait until level 72, or until you've purchased all your AEQ pieces. I've messed up on a couple guys so now I use more caution.

Pass quality is the most important part of a QB's job by a long shot. Throwing, strength, Tight Spiral, Pocket Prescence, are all things solely dedicated to pass quality. Not to mention vision, agility, confidence, and VAs, which all play a big part as well. A +3% bonus to this is enormous. You should not think of 3% as a tiny portion of 100% but rather as an enormour opportunity gain otlver the alternatives. PQ is going to be loads better than a second PD piece and certainly moreso than a SA one which will only net you a couple dozen SPs. I could provide a lot of math to support this theory like I did in the BAF for 3xHB on OL, but it is even more of a slam dunk for PQ % on QBs.

So... 22.5% pass quality is enough?

An extra 3% to all of your attributes when determining the quality of your passes isn't worth it?

I'm by no means going to attempt to debate with you guys, as I know for a fact you both know more.

All I meant was that if faced with 22.5% pass quality and 12% fake chance vs 25.5% pass quality I think I would pick the former.
But that's cause I'm not a seasoned dot builder who knows best.

Fake % gets wasted on a QB, PD and PQ are the only % pieces you should have. Its easy to think that the more overall % combination you have will make your dot better, you just have to focus on cost efficiency and what will contibute more to his function.

If I made QBs with 4 AEQ instead of 3 I might even consider a 4th piece of PQ %

Yeah I'd put both 3% pass quality and 6% pass distance ahead of 12% fake. The WRs fakes are way more powerful than Pump Fake because pump fake doesn't work on man coverage (or at least not very well). If a guy is in zone he's almost always double teaming which you should be avoiding anyway.

Pump fake is worth 20 sps, but giving up one of your % bonuses for it is too high a price to pay.

4 aeq dot, 2x PD, 3x PQ..
