I've went shopping 8x and still no pancake sa. The last time a +3 AGL, +1 shock block sa came up. I've wanted to get the pancake sa, cause there's more value in getting one of your "last" SAs. Should I settle for this piece, or keep looking for the pancake sa? Opinions?

There is more value in geting one of your "last" SAs if that SA is useful; Pancake is stupid. Get +3agi/+1ShockBlock, that's a sweet piece if you have good str and are the ROT (i saw you're shopping for your OT)

I disagree Pancake is stupid. After I put a couple into Pancake for my FB, his pancakes ROSE DRAMATICALLY. I flattened a lot more LBS and opened a lot more holes for the RBs. I think if you have a RT, its a great ability, but not so much for a LT.

Yes but the "pancakes" stat is also a stupid stat. You'd much rather have 1 or 2 more solid blocks than 1 or 2 blocks turn into pancakes.

Id rather my blocker run a fool over and get on to someone else, thats a pancake and very effective in the run game. Therefore the "stat" may be stupid, but that doesnt mean a pancake isnt effective. I dont understand whats more solid than knocking a defender down on the ground in the run game.

yes but why waste points (or advanced equipment) to turn 10% of blocks into pancakes when you can get a different piece, say in Foundation, that gives you 10% more successful blocks.

it doesn't apply here (he doesn't have a pancake SA and this equipment includes +3agi for those pesky pass-rushing NTs), but in general, I'd take adv eq with +1 Foundation or +1 Get Low than +1 Pancake.

+1 Foundation if im a LT (but then Id rather have Protector).
It makes a big difference what side I play (right or left) when Im looking for an AEQ piece. I would take a Pancake with my RT, but not a LT.

Anybody got opinions about the shock block sa in general?
