Thoughts on the build?
I haven't boosted for this season yet, so any advice one where to go with the points? I was thinking of taking agility to 68 and then taking carrying to 68 as well while training vision and confidence.

I'd raise Carrying before Agility.

how much agility does a power back really need? i'd think that 61 should be enough.

Good reminder, should I train stam/conf instead of vis/conf?

Agility helps the back get back up to speed after breaking tackles, so I would assume a fair amount (68) would be important. Question is though, is carrying more important to my HB than agility and should I raise that to 68 first?

Agility is important so that you can get back up to speed ASAP after breaking tackles. Power backs with low agility just end up with 2 broken tackles for a .5 yard gain.

Also anyone telling you to raise carrying from 50 before raising agility from 56 is dead wrong.

I'm beginning to like agility more and more on powerbacks. I like it to the extent that I've completely shelved carrying until I get it to 72-74ish.

So agility to 73 cap ----> carrying to 68/73 cap -----> SAs ?

Basically what I'm looking at. Don't know that I'd spend to take carry over 68, I haven't seen much gain from it on any of my HB/FBs. I'm also coming to realize that the only SA you really need is power through and maybe stiff arm. Capping minors >>>> all SAs not named power through.

Cool, I have 2 Power Thru AEQ pieces, so they should net me what I need from Power Thru.

How useful is vision for a PB? Would you put something like confidence above it or is it more important than that?

Confidence is pretty important with the morale spiral and all. I'd try and cap them both, skimping on non-PT SAs will free up a lot of sp to do it.

Stamina would seem like another minor to cap before hitting SAs. Is it worth 2nd-capping any of them before adding SAs, or is it not worth it?

Also, are the bonuses you get to break tackles from Lower the Shoulder and Power Thru multiplacative? Or is it just one activates or the other?

I remember Bort saying that it was some sort of check down among PT, SA, and LS. So if one didn't fire it rolled the next one and so on.

Stamina is good for breaking tackles.
