I have a lvl 4 guard with:
Strength: 50.19,
Blocking: 21.7
Speed: 9.79
Agility: 12.17
Stamina: 10.46
Vision: 10.83
Confidence: 13.5

All special abilities are at 0. I have 5 Skill Points and 29 BT's. Should I continue to build strength or start on the other attributes? I was leaning towards either Blocking or Stamina, but after reading some of the above, I'm not so sure.

Thanks for your help.



This thread is for run block archetype; your player has a pass blocking archetype, so this thread might be misleading to you.

Everyone seems to think its better to get to cap at level 2, but honestly its easier to reach 61 cap if you hold points till level 6 continue training to about 34, and cap straight to 61. To do the same once you cap 48 you need 2 skill points from BT.

Yes the math seems similar but you are missing a few points. If you cap the skill at level 2 you can begin training your next skill at that point. Also you may not have the time to train the skill to 34 since you should be earning 550 XP to 450 XP epr game this low of level. So basically you will level every other game.

So, can your strategy work? Yes it can but not easily and if you do pull it off you lose a lot of training on your 2nd skill. The point of capping the first skill at level 2 is to start earning level gains as quickly as possible while training your next skill so it will be cheaper to cap.

I agree, I think it's much more beneficial to start training the second attribute than it is to reach that cap 1 level earlier. You can reach 60.50 by level 6 anyway and I'm not sure that you get to subsequent caps any faster by waiting until you can directly 2nd cap that skill.

Yeah, it is dependant upon being able to get to 27 instead of 25 on primary, and creating your dot at latest day 40 of previous season, i prefer to quad train my secondary stat, and quad cap my first stat, so plenty of time to train it before you have the spare skill points to even think about capping secondary stat. Just my take, i prefer getting to 61.5 one level earlier, so the natural gains are worth alittle more, and you save a few BT and skill points.
