No, because focusing on percentages is wrong. By that same rationale you'd rather have two attribute points in confidence than speed since you're getting a higher percentage gain.


yeah, probably

It would be easier if we knew the formulas for the checks of course.

But nooooo, heap big secret that.

Your admonition was unwarranted. Moderators should familiarize themselves with the listed rules so that they avoid similar mistakes in the future.

I am quite familiar, but as always I appreciate you looking out for me. Very sweet of you.

Let's stay focused on the thread OP instead of your perception of the moderating staff's understanding of the forum rules, please.

I've lost track here. Is the debate about Workout Warrior in general or whether one should put 15 in it or less?

I usually find room for WW or Quick on my ol. Though I've started using WW+EQ shift instead of Quick for the extra sliver of a point when I can.

I've heard all OLineman should be on pass block, more often than I've heard all OLineman should have 15 workout warrior (which is like 0 times)

Nok failed this thread up with poor logic

Yello started it off with stupidity

Workout Warrior can be useful in types of builds, but its not something that should be ubiquitous. Depending on what I am going for with the OL, there are tons of different options which contain 0 Workout Warrior

Poor logic and unpopular logic are two different things. I trust you know the difference.

Now, you can certainly make the argument that there's very little OBSERVABLE difference between 160.83 and 160.27. However, that's not the same thing as saying there's NO difference whatsoever. There is a difference: in this case, a difference of 0.56.

Doesn't matter whether or not it gets you over the next whole number or not. A dot that moves from 160.41 to 160.97 is 0.56 faster. And a dot that moves from 160.51 to 161.07 is also 0.56 faster. There's nothing magical at all about crossing that threshold of 161.00.

I think its important to be clear about what .56 faster means at the 160 part of the speed equation vs say the 35 speed part.

It's noticeable but its very slight. Speed is the most important attribute in GLB so when were talking about .56 strength on the 160 part of the curve were talking about an even more minor difference.

That said it seems a 160.5 strength guy wins 5% of the fights and loses 0% to a 160 strength guy given equal stamina/confidence. GLB is the kind of game where 160.5 will either trump or do nothing to a 160. Maybe it would be better if 160.5vs160 was about 50/50 160.5vs150 was about 70/30 etc but it's not. That's my take on why people get into the workout warrior arms race.

Bort has stated on numerous occasions that the sim uses decimals and doesn't round to whole numbers.

fyi - this isn't proof

Agreed. And I addressed that point multiple times in my posts.
