No idea. Only time I ever plan to build all of my AEQ is for the break tackle % pieces on an RQB.

Otherwise, I will usually take a shot at getting at least the +5% or the +3 Att solo and adding the other part.

I hate to plan on buying the +5% part of any piece because of how expensive they are.

Highest EL build? This guy; http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view5/3693853/el-kabong-o.gif

Out of curiosity what is the highest EL that has been achieved? it's kind of cheating since I played him for 7 seasons of decline without temp boosting, but the QB I posted earlier retired at 2020 with 4 AEQ http://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/player.pl?player_id=4244523 Anybody have a higher one? What about pre-decline?

I have a higher P actually so I guess I mean post archetypes.

all those people dont venture out with new teams tbh.

i cant believe there are people still arguing over 2ae builds and 3ae builds. 3 is always better than 2. even if you have +100 pts of EL tbh

Prove it. Join my reset team in s49

idk, I'd rather have a dot that might not have the highest EL, but performs on the field. They're not mutually exclusive...

Example = my LOT http://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/player.pl?player_id=4478852

Not the greatest EL build, yet highly effective as he hasn't give up a sack in almost three seasons of WL - built specifically to match up against WL pass rushing DEs

I recall a WR dot that I recruited for a team desperate for WRs and was rediculed for signing him on as his build was very squarish, EL was low and had no early career success. Well, that WR ended up leading the league in receiving yards and TDs as he just didn't know he wasn't built bad... (the dot was very tall and had a knack for catching everything thrown his way - never ran away from anyone, but always came down with the ball)

You realize I just gave myself the kiss of death, right? If I make it through the Clash tonight unscathed, I'll never say another word about this dot

Exactly. And sometimes it's just as you say... a dot built for a very specific purpose sometimes doesn't have the best EL but does the job it was designed to do extremely well. That WR you speak of sounds a lot like my Power WR guy. Tall, strong, and caught most everything... just not much for YAC. But his primary purpose was mostly for blocking on outside runs and blocking downfield... and, at that, he was one of my best builds ever. Wish I'd've kept him (when retired).

Would a more vague description of that philosophy also apply to 2AEQ? I mean, the build plan is all funky, only 2 pieces of EQ, but if he only needs 2 to get the job done, so be it.

I agree. There's a point where what you're gaining in SP's and training aren't worth (in final value) what you're losing from having less AEQ pieces. I think a solid case can be made for a 3 AEQ build vs a 4 AEQ build... I am not so sure the same can be said for a 3 AEQ vs a 2 AEQ build, IMO... you just lose too much from the lack of AEQ bonuses to make the vale of the slightly higher skills worth it in the end. The dot might LOOK better... probably will have a higher EL... but will not preform on the field as well overall. Again, IMO.

(edit add) Granted, I've never built anything less than a 3 AEQ dot but many seasons ago I pondered a NO AEQ dot, turning ALL BT's into SP's and training to see what would happen. I ran the idea through the VPB several times and the 'gains' I made overall were limited. Mostly because, at the high levels of a skill, it becomes MUCH harder to train up AND the cost in SP's just to move a skill a single point gets crazy hard and you simply don't get enough BT's to get enough SP's to move a skill high enough to make going that route worth it.

You can multi train almost a whole career on 3AE. Going 2AE lets you multi train way more days than you actually have to train, so you are left with a bunch of BT's on the back end for no reason.

Also +% AEQ is the most powerful thing in the game cuz math. Most dots good dots compared to great dots, do not have enough +% AEQ. Double stacking is good. I have a WR I'm 4x stacking catching, but that's cuz I'm a lunatic. With that said, that 4th stacked piece for +1.5% might very well still be worth.
