Warrior General Games

All EQ into STR or split between AGI and STR?

If it is a split...what is the best tactic for pass rush? I would imagine that any DE has more AGI than an ROT, but I don't know if that justifies using Combo pass rushing...

Finally, VA's - I have heavyweight and bull rusher maxed...I was thinking pocket crusher...maybe workout warrior?

streaky, without a doubt.

Without looking at your actual agi numbers, if you *think* you have a good agi number then you should go Combo. But in reality if it's low then Power rush.

As for VAs, again how high is your vis? If it's not that high JTF might be an option, you want to make sure your DE gets off the line ASAP. Also, I'm always a supporter of Streaky as I think it's way undervalued. However, do not add Streaky one at a time. Pick some other VA, stock 15 points there, and then reset them all to Streaky. Doing Streaky one at a time will expose you to high percentage of "down" games.

Fan of Streaky as well. All or nothing of course.

ok, I'm back from a birthday bender...

Thanks for the input, but of course now I have more questions.

So at lvl 53 my natural STR is currently 79.71 and my natural AGI is current 82.71

Right now I have a 3 pieces of EQ (+21) in STR and 1 BB% AEQ along with my CEQ (+16) in AGI...

So here is my dilemma do I go for it all with STR, power rush and always get pushed around a little bit by beastly ROT's, or do I throw it all into AGI, and try and get around him w/Evasive

Also, I have noticed that combo rushing can be a real bitch b/c most of the VA's only help trigger when using power or evasive, so that might mean using combo would make 15 VA points irrelevant depending on what it chooses...

Also, this game is always about extremes, balanced players typically don't do a whole lot...

Thoughts?

You arent going anywhere in the power rush field with 100 effective strength in your mid 50's. My level 50 ROT has 120 strength, 87 blocking and 79 agility. 98 agility isnt bad, as youll probably have 10% more than most ROTs. You are definitely at a crossroads. Id use your eq reset to move in one direction, probably the direction you break block % is in.

You are welcome to keep trying str and see what happens. But I would recommend at least an effective 120 str rating before you move on to anything else. Make sure you have good amount of BB% and Bull Rusher to max. Also, for your SAs I would try to go Strong Base to 10 and SB to 10.

It can be done, and can be effective.
