99.25 natural now, I've just been spamming points into it for lols.

It's 19 sp I think to hit 100 natural, which i will probably do beginning of next season. It's terribly inefficient, but I find it hilarious how high my blocking is getting (my eq isnt even fully upgraded right now).

Do you think it'll have any major effect? As far as VP's go I'm pumping goal line blocker now for the 30% blocking boost within 5 yards (putting my blocking at 140-150 or some shit)

Wow you may get a gold blocking bar eventually. My G has 79 in blocking naturally but I doubt I will ever get a gold blocking bar. Nice work.

Personally I am not sure if I would put much more than 10 or 20 points worth of eq in blocking. I doubt there is much gain after 120. Especially if you have VAs that will enhance blocking. The eq might be better spent on other skills when they are capped.

Just my 2 cents.

...maybe someone should have told the kid that natural gains stop as the value goes above 100?

So after reaching 100.?? natural, you won't get anymore bonus per level. Nice way to throw away skill points.

No, it still goes after 100 (confirmed on a C and a P now).

Anyway, this wont help him get a gold bar. Blocking is only worth 4X as much as agility/vis/conf in the bar. So the optimal strategy is to spend at most 3:1 in agi, so at most 12:1 in blocking. By spending this high he is HURTING his improvements on the bar. 66 at level 38 is horrendous, my C had 75 bar at that point and still is far from gold.

I wouldn't say 66 going on 69 is horrendous at that level. More like average. I think using your Center as a benchmark is like comparing all sprinters to Usain Bolt!

He can still get a lot of cheap improvement on his bar by capping Agility, Vision and Confidence and then going back to Agility, to get that up to the third cap.

But all-in-all, it's one of those freak builds. Interesting to look at, but nothing to be copied.

How well does the guy block? The team itself has a sub 500 record. I think 80 strength for a level 38 center is pretty weak. Looking at the bars is ridiculous. Try looking at the performance of the player to determine if something is good enough.
