Nice start to that build. Question: what's the thought process behind banking the 6 SPs?


Slow building, don't spend skill points until you have trained the skill up somewhat and can cap the ability to maximize the automatic attribute gains you get every time you level up. If you put the skill points into the stat then you would get less training bonus from working on it and it would actually take longer to cap it.



That's fine. It just looked like "Agility" was past the point of being efficient to train. How high do you generally train an attribute before you throw in the towel on it and move on to a different one?

There are lots of strategies on that. Some people say train a stat up to 30 or so and then triple cap it ASAP so that natural level gains help you pump it up really high over time without spending extra SPs. Other people favor a more balanced approach and try to 48 cap multiple stats quickly and some people fall in between. There is no "right" answer.

Edit - I didn't notice he was created day 28 of season 6. He is Super Slow Building, he has no reason to spend skill points before doing so would cap an attribute because he isn't even playing games to be concerned about. He has only had 36 plays in his entire career. Rather than try to strike a balance between training and leveling gains like the various normal slow build strategies, he is trying to maximize both by getting as much training as possible in between each level so that he can reach the various caps he is interested in at the lowest possible level.

He's going to try to be a dominant player in capped leagues by sacrificing multiple seasons of play time. So for you original question: Yes, I think most normal slow builders probably would consider the low 30s to be nearing (or maybe even past) the point where you switch to something else unless you are trying to really focus your player build on that stat and want to get it to 61+ really soon.

The way to train is to train up to 28-30 then cap, then train to 51-52, then cap, then train to 63, then cap etc. With each cap the training SP gain goes up to where it would be around 28-29

your also 1 full season older than me, so ofcourse your going to have higher atts... I still haven't spent my level 8 skills yet. I'm going to begin training Speed and Agility now that Stren is tripled.
