Warrior General Games

So I had an elusive back until the beginning of the season then I dumped all of my points into strength and changed all of my equipment to strength as well. He's at lvl 41 now and soon to be lvl 42. I have been very pleased with his performance so far, and I have no doubt that I did the right thing by changing him. For the long term, what would you guys do?

Definitely get your strength up...until it costs 3 points. So about 57-or 58. I also would suggest working on your power back abilities.

its 61

Do I need more speed and agility. My speed is 75 and my agility is 66. I don't think I need to get much faster, but I need to break a lot more tackles. Hopefully I will break a lot more once I get more strength and power SAs.

powerbacks have a big target on their back right so don't be surprised if they get hit by the nerf bat

imo, go back agi or go combo

Bort is testing a few things out on the test blog, which is probably what you're talking about. He isn't planning to nerf anything. The only thing that he would like to change is the ridiculous string of broken tackles that happen on some plays. He's experimenting with each BrkTck taking away some ability to break the next tackle. Even without those plays, the power back is going to be much more effective than an elusive back. The change would also affect elusive backs as well. Power backs are here to stay my friend.

Go Bruiser in Vet.
Funny you did this.
I thought about the same - I have another set of equipment and can do what you did, but I recently used a ton of money to upgrade level 48 and I put it in speed.

Looks good overall, will be a bunch of wasted points in elusive SA's though

yeah it's like 18 wasted points right there, but they will still fire on occasion. I don't think it will hurt me, but I've heard that my high agility is not good to have for a power back. I do not recommend just selling you equipment and buying new equip unless you have your owner's permission. It was expensive, but my owner and GM were not happy with the elusive backs either.

Bruiser VA is your friend, keep grabbing them until 15.
Powerthru should be pumped up.
Try to snag a Break Tackle +% AEQ and start building it up to get your total break tackle over 50% when your Bruiser is full.
If you start to fumble check confidence.

Our powerback is pulling off spin moves about once or so a game, when not just plowing over them.
Sometimes they get him a TD.
