For the record, I've done my best to lay the trail of bread crumbs in this forum. However, morons like iMan and his super secret discussions with Pro League players make for a frustrating environment. Take my advice or don't -- but I won't be lumped in with jack-offs like derenzy who just come here to brag.
To be clear, if you look at the direction of most OT builds, many are starting to leave STR alone once their equiped rating hits the low 60's. This is for a number of reasons: 1) they don't want to pay the 2 for 1 penalty, 2) they see DE's running around with sub-50 str, 3) they're worried that their agility is too low to fight off most DE's, 4) they split their equip bonuses btwn STR and Block or have their equip bonuses spread all over in an inefficient manner or 5) any combination of the above.
If you cede the STR battle to the OT, you're already 50% of the way to being screwed. The key to beating the block is to have at least a slight edge in the STR battle and then have a dominating edge in the AGI battle and have a good probability of shedding the block.
Oh and iMan, I never claimed that all my sacks came from equal competition. However, some of them did come from fighting through equal lvl OT's. Until you get any sacks (against lower comp or otherwise) perhaps you should STFU.
I have read 10 million posts in these forums. This is the most intelligent post I have ever read. Well reasoned out and articulated. Thank you for the information.
