what a fucking scientifically sound conclusion

Exactly. It's just one more fucked up inconsistency within this game.

I roll for all of mine. I only look for either the +3 or +5%, then i buy the other side. I rarely find the exact piece of +3 and +5% together. If you are rolling for that piece, i can see where you would be frustrated.

Be happy with the +3, +5%, or last SA in tree piece you roll and buy the remaining part.

You have to wait to shop. You get more pieces in the results window the more you wait (one more for every ten levels). And it seems to me the quality of the pieces is also tracked by level (certainly at level 1 its all lowbie junk).

Best to wait as long as you can put it off. The downside is that the sooner you know your BT needs based upon AEQ you have the sooner you can fully plan your training.

In my opinion best scenario is to buy your AEQ at 50 and then roll away and see what you get, buying the best discounts (like +3 primary or secondary or tertiary attributes with any useful SA or +% or bare +3s, or +5%s or 38/75BT desirable SAs without an attribute) as you go. Usually you will get four pieces this way, but if not then you build your fourth.

However I sometimes give into temptation and buy one piece at 30, and often cave and buy them all at 40.

And yes you can still totally ruin a build shopping if you get unlucky. But more often you are improving your build though sometimes at a loss of optimization of SAs or +%s.

I don't bother with it any more. I have had hold block chance and throwing for a WR and scat back in the past. It's not worth it really.

I roll my AEQ for most positions. However for a Blocking TE and STOPs, it seems to be cheaper to buy them. I have no luck rolling for those type of players.

So this thread reminded me to roll some AEQ for my L44 WR, and the first roll had a 5% Catch Ball piece.

Statistically, past results don't matter. I still have the same chance to get something worthwhile on the next roll, yet I'm still worried about hitting the roll button again and going off on a bad streak of rolls.

Worst part is this is the most drama this game holds tbh.

And then I hit the button some more and wonder why Deflect Ball% appears to be a higher chance than %Catch Ball for a WR.

And it's still NGTH. Changing it from NGTH to GTH is NGTH.

I have only had 1 DOT who I can honestly say did not save BTs from shopping. It was a TE I retired last season. It seems to me that WRs and TEs from what iv read are the worste 2. That aside u are pretty much gimping your dot NOT to roll on most positions. Its possible to have terrible luck once in a while but I dnt see any evidence to support not rolling.

For shits and giggles I just rolled once for my QB. Got a 5% pass quality and +3 blocking.

Also got a +5% pass quality. A +3 with 5% is nice so it's gonna be a hard decision.
