If you don't have 15 full VA's you're doin it wrong.

But seriously, i think the most you can do in the modern sim (pre-plateau) would be 4 full and one at about 10.

You should end up with somewhere around 65-69 VA points for most people depending how vigilant they are to boosting at the perfect times.


2 things.
#1, you're right about the 4 full and one with 10 (or more... mine has 11).

#2, But as far as being adamant about "15 or you're wrong", who says? The cookie cutter build committee? I've built them with 4 full and 1 as far as I could go... and I've built them with only 10 in each VA... and I not only prefer and enjoy doing it the latter way, but I do not see where the advantage of having 15 in 4 VA's outweigh the advantage of having more VA's to work with. My power WR has 6 VA's and has at least 10 in each one (2 have 15 and one has 11). Since I'm ready to retire the dot (over plateau) I never tried to get another VA with 10 points in it... but I could easily enough. That would give me 7 VA's with at LEAST 10 points in each one. Your way gives you only 5 VA's.
It's a difference of build ideas and opinions... but that's IMPORTANT to GLB that everybody doesn't build the exact same way. Your way works well enough for you... my way works well enough for me... and both ways have advantages and disadvantages to their styles. Neither is "right" or "wrong". I never said my way was "the only way" or "the only right way"... I just said it can be done and it works.

If your doing an attribute % boosting VA, 15 is always better than 10. But for VA's like Clutch, OTKiller , PrimeTimePlayer and the like...some times 1 is all you need and some times 10 is way too many.

But 1 thing is for sure..there are no "diminishing returns" on VA's after 10 like SA's have. The bonus is the bonus.

Which VA was it that you can only take to like 9 because anything after that was a waste due to stacking reasons. Scat back or something like that. I remember 9 was the cut off though.

Short Yardage Monster, and that's only if you also have 15 in Slippery because of the 75% VA effect cap.
