Has anyone tried to do both? My str back should have > 95 str, > 80 agi, > 130 spd.

I am worried about the rushing style tactic. Would having it at 0 not trigger spin and power through very often. If it does work, could be pretty unstoppable.

I'm wondering if I should just try it or just go with one. Any suggestions?

I've heard the power/elusive slider isn't very SA dependent, but I'm neither denying or confirming that. I have to run more tests. I'm doing an experimental KR/PR'er to squash all the theories, cause frankly I'm tired of people mouthing off two completely different things. I just started his SA's, so I can't confirm anything yet.

Regarding your str, 95 is too much imho. My power back has been triggering power SA's with just 1-1-1-1-1 at 70'ish str. Take it down to ~80.

Not to hate, but you don't have any dots over lvl 25, including retired, unless you're a multi.

Hard to find replays where both SA's fired in one play.

I have 2 FB's running with both SA's at 10.

I run them with slippery to get the spin bonus. There is no penalty to Power through when using the slider, but their is a bonus to spin. So it's more beneficial for you to run on an elusive setting.

Both of my FB's have 91+ natural agility. Carrying is 87-88 on these two dots, and str is 80-82 on these two dots. One hit plateau just recently at 125 speed, the next is still a season and a half from plateau and will end at 131 speed.

If you plan on using spin, get all of your ducks in a row, and stack the hell out of your VA's to benefit spin. PT get's no VA benefits, or slider benefits for running style. So just pump it to 10, make sure you have enough sTR and carryign and forget about it. It'll fire quite a bit on it's own without any help. So take slippery, Quick feet, SYM, Yac attack and soem steady grip and run on a high elusive setting depending on your agility and watch the spins pile up. However, these are FB's, and it's much easier for a FB to pump PT and Spin, becasue I can simply pick up spin as a bonus SA and already get PT as a favored SA with the rusher archetype. But HB's have to decide which SA they want penalized and which attributes they want as majors and they never really get the best mix, while FB's are much easier.

I run on 85 and 90 elusivity. One of my FB's is sitting on 9 Quick Cut, while the other only 5. (9 Quick Cut was a waste of SP's BTW). And TBH, I think you might have more useful dots if you stick to 51 elusive rather than going closer to the SE setting. Especially if you have heavier backs as they don't ever really get up to speed but instead dance around a lot when they should be breaking through the line. But my guys are too slow to be any kind of home-run threat, so I just pump the hell out of their tackle breaking abilities.

Also agreeing with Remedy... you don't need to take Str past 80 really.
