Warrior General Games

The best two pieces I've gotten so far are:

+3 vision, +1 Power Thru SA
+3 speed, +1 Stiff Arm SA

I have tokens to get either one up to +4 on the SA.

Both are headgear so I've got to choose one, or shop for something else. Both could be useful, but both are out of position SA so the highest I'll get them is +4.

Power Thru is the one that RBs love the most, but it "depends on strength and size to be effective." At the moment, str is 46 (carrying 39) and 195 lbs, so nothing compared to a power back, but he's relatively strong for a WR and compared to a lot of CBs. I used this one all last season at +3 SA, and it never fired once, but our team went heavily running so I got only a touch or two per game if that. But still...

Stiff Arm says it is "very effective when used against defenders with poor strength and agility." Some CBs have low strength, but they all have high agility.

Power Thru is highly valued by RBs, but Stiff Arm is more of a natural move for a WR than Power Thru, and the +3 speed would also be move valuable than the +3 vision (although that's not bad either).

Any thoughts? What would you do?

nice pieces. i'd probly go stiff arm.

I had a similar piece of AE equiped with power thru for my WR and like you, it never fired once. I had my str 48 and my car 35 and it did nothing for me.

I would roll with the stiff arm and the speed.

Stiff Arm is worthless, take the piece for the 3 speed!!!

i think i might do that, but what makes you say stiff arm is worthless? personal experience, or discussion in other forums? not questioning that you're right, but just curious what makes you say that.

i'll probabliy go for that one, as stiff arm can't be much more worthless than power thru as been, but will keep rolling and see if i can get an actual WR one. I also got +1 blocking, +1 Jumping Catch SA but I sure would like one with a better/higher attribute boost.

another question on this one... I rolled a +2 vision, +5% Catch ball chance. Would you take that over the +3 speed, +1 Stiff Arm SA? Is it worth trading out for the lower, less valuable attribute to gain a % boost that will help catch every target instead of an out-of-position SA that could help with YAC but may rarely fire.

If your speed is over 74 natural and all your EQ is in speed take the +3 speed one, if your under that, then if your catching is at or above 68 natural take the % catching boost piece.
