When David Amazing was putting SPs into his build, David Amazing came across this choice. David Amazing thought some people would run into this problem as well and figured it'd make a decent topic.

David Amazing will ask the question another way- more like a survey. You had a choice between 2 AGI, 5 SPD or 7 STR. Which would you do?

You can switch the attributes to whatever you guys focus on. 2 SPD, 5 STR, 7 AGI or whatever. The point is, for those of you who have focused builds, would you pick the 2, the 5 or the 7?

The 5 SPD or AGI.

Also, the answer is...

never.

+5 Speed. All the way.

Am I missing something? I'm pretty sure 5 of your second most important attribute is better than 2 of your most important or 7 of your 3rd most important one regardless of build for most positions.

lol yeah he pretty much gave it away that he is in the +7 cap range. If I'm right that must mean he is in the high 70's base.

If anyone ever read what advice I give on essentially any thread they would know what his build basically looks like.

And I would go with the 5 speed.

depends on what cap they're at, and what's needed to improve performance. you don't play in a vacuum. you only have to be good enough to beat the other team.

That's the purpose of the survey. Some players might consider increasing their highest attribute by even a small amount to create matchup problems, with the thinking being that nobody will ever be able to catch up. Like how it's really hard to "out-strength" a high strength run blocker.

Great DE btw.

Matchups are key, but is sounds like speed is the ticket here.

Though I wouldn't write-off the strength, personally.

Thanks, you've got a great one yourself. I think most people around here know that I thrive on mismatches and I'd wager my DE is among the speediest in the game but not at the expense of agility. At this point to me, the question becomes a lot closer when you ask 3 agility or 2 speed, or in your case 2 agility or 3 speed. I would still take the 3 agility every time without thinking. I'm an advocate of keeping speed and agility approximately equal base plus all equipment in speed.
