I'm pretty new to strength DE's. What's a good ratio for strength and agility? Also, how high should I take speed? I was thinking 81, 77, 74, 68, 62. Strength, agility, speed, tackling, and vision.

it's not about ratio, but that works.

What about AEQ? I haven't heard too much about strength DE AEQ. I was thinking Strong Base, SB, and 2x BB% pieces.

Strong Base only works on pass plays, if you take it you should have an end build with around 80 speed or more, otherwise it won't be too useful except for racking up hurries.
Shed Block might be better, 2x bb% is a necessity.
First Step might be good as well so that you can take it to ten without seeing too much of a hit to SP's.

Its the first SA though. Wouldn't something like MT% be better?

yeah sure MT% is good... FS really depends on the build. My STR DE is almost exclusively using the run stuffer tree, so getting AEQ in FS is a good option for me, but if you are gonna invest in the pass rusher tree anyway then maybe not such a great idea.

If you get to the QB alot Big Sack is a good choice as well.

I was gonna get a piece of SB and put enough SPs into that tree to get it to 10. I'm not sure how high i will want to take FS, but that's something I'm gonna need to decide farther down the road. For now i think I'll stick with MT%.

With your DE how high did you take agility with eq? I was thinking about getting it to ~105-110 and the rest into strength.

I'd say FS, SB, BB% or maybe Break Through instead of FS.

I would recommend agility to either be around 95, or be above 115. I don't think you get a lot of juice for the middle ground.

My DE is pure STR.
I did Agi 2nd and took it to 76...

Right now he is lvl 50 and it is at 80.2, no EQ in Agility. Might change that later, but right now it will stay this way.
