Alright, so I'm slowbuilding a LOT. I have finished capping them and they are both 70+ natural. Now my question is this, what should my final goal as far as strength and blocking go be? Should I dedicate more equipment to blocking, strength, or keep them even? Projecting into the future towards level 48 or so:

1.) Equipment in Strength
Strength: 75+20=95
Blocking: 78+14=92

2.) Equipment in Blocking
Strength: 75+14=89
Blocking: 78+20=98

3.) Split evenly
Strength: 75+17=92
Blocking: 78+17=95

These are just estimates and the equipment numbers are just for discussion purposes, but basically I'm wondering what is more important at LT. I know you must have high blocking, but I would have that even if I didn't put all of my equipment there. And against the elite speed/agility pass rushers, if I put more equipment towards strength then I would be more likely to pancake them every now and again. Let me know your thoughts.

I'd say it depends on how much protector you have. If you're really lacking Protector, I'd take +Blocking to make up for it (even +Agility if you don't have some already).

I plan on having quite a bit of both Protector and Agility. 3rd capped Agility to be exact.

Of the 3 choices I would probably choose 1. Most your SAs and VAs boost blocking but not strength is my reason. Personally I split my eq 3 ways between strength, blocking and agility but I am starting to wonder if I should be focusing more on strength.

Ya, I go blk/agi split evenly. You wont get the stat whore pancakes you would with the str, but you will rarely let anyone by.

Blocking+agi is the key for LOTs

I would go with #1. Protector and the great blocker VA will up your blocking. You may want to consider agility to 74 if you are doing it last, although I'd third cap it, cap vision, then go back to agility.
