I have an AEQ piece with 3 Speed, 2 Vision, 2 Quick Cut, so that explains having EQ in 3 areas. All normal EQ is in Speed, CE is +6 in Agility and Elusive Tree. I don't have any level 24 gear.

Anyway, I'm thinking about what to do with my next 4 level-ups. I will level after 2 games. I planned on getting Speed to the 5:1 cap. Then with my 3 boosts next year, I think I'll just pump speed to 77.09 natural (if I did my math right). With EQ that would give me 93 speed at level 31, with ~72 Agility. I've been training Strength/Carrying for a while and I'll probably keep that up. Is it worth spending 19 SP's to get Speed from 72 to 77, or should I spend them elsewhere?

BTW, I'm ok with his build being unbalanced/ineffective for another season or so while I build him up. I've also purposely focused more on Vision/Confidence because I think they are great for elusive HB's and he is sort of a cross between 2 HB builds I like. I know he's far from perfect at this point, but I'm open to suggestions

seems like a pretty reasonable plan to me. since you've committed to vision somewhat, i'd take speed to 74 or 77 like you planned, agility to 68 (if you really want, 74 but i think that's unnecessary) and then vision to 60 then get either carrying or SAs. you seem to be on a pretty good track

I wouldn't start him with that stamina, even if he breaks away, he'll be caught on a long run then he'll be back in after 10 mins rest.
