Full out pass rusher here...
I have maxed the pass rusher and jump the snap VA's.

What is next on my list?

Speed or agility attribute VA's or is there something else good for a pass rusher I'm missing?

60+str and 90+ agility. you would see it working. More str and agility it gets better and better.

It's situational, but when it fires it blows up the line. It always seems to blow up the line when you need it most.

would it work on a slighty different total of 150? say 80 str 70 agil or do you think 90 really is the minimum for agility?

You definitely need 90+ to increase break block opportunities.... which, in turn, will increase the opportunities for the VA to trigger. Not great on a speed build, TBH.

On strength, I think you have to go all out on it to make it really worthwhile. Most OTs have more Strength than 80.... so you won't break a lot of blocks. 70 Strength is more than enough to not be man handled and still improve the effectiveness of Heavyweight.

So My 70 STR/ 100 AGI will make Heavyweight a great option.

I realize this is probably a dumb question, but is that with equipment or natural?

Natural str equipment in agility.

According to the stun thread, it doesn't matter where your SPs are between Agility and Strength, because they are of the same importance when determining whether the defender breaks a block, or not.

Sure.

That brings up this question though.

Would you rather try to get to the quarterback using str? or agility?

So with that said you try to get just enough str to make it work more without sacrificing agility.

Or you could be some boring 120 str D.E. those rock, but not for sacks.
