now that we've learned that zone focus is pretty much useless what would probably be the next best pick?

Sticky Hands
Monster Hit
Head Hunter

Agree. If GLB past history holds true, it is highly likely that we may get a buff on it shortly. Might be best to wait a bit before swapping out.

Well tbh, I believe FSs already have some of the best/most useful positional SAs to begin with...at least for Coverage based ones. Personally, I prefer Bonus SAs to be geared towards lNTs or Blitzing, vs. FF...as FS are generally forced to build in that direction anyways because of Coverage Schemes (FF more the realm of SSs). The Tackling & Strength needed to make FF SAs viable, also would have to be considerably high and would probably take you to the end build before you would really benefit much from it too. Zone Specialist Archetypes for FS does not lend itself well to building that way either. Just IMO.

btw Cactus...I'm one of your "SS Mateys" on Rumrunners!

This, first and foremost.

Don't put anything into your bonus SA for a little while until these new SA's get sorted out. If you have it at 0 it only costs 2 BT to swap, and you can make a more informed decision on down the road. ZF still seems better than the other options, though JackHammer is enticing. Sticky Hands if you're more of a risk-reward playmaking build.

Similar to what RSN23 said, I think the bonus SA is meant to be that final touch to kinda define what your FS is best at. If you want to try to force turnovers or if you want to be good in run support, etc., you pick a bonus SA to accentuate that.

My FS is level 62 and still has 0 in his bonus SA. You don't need to rush into a decision, and you can see way down the road after many more changes have happened what is best for your build.
