my RG is going experimental and doing something I don't advise on most builds - 2 AEQ on the same spot. He'll have 2-12-0-0-0 next season.
I understand what you are saying Octowned, not wanting to double up on pieces, but I think that some are worth picking up 2 of. Example:
My higher leveled C has 2 LG pieces, I never have to spend SPs on the pass block tree (I did spend 2 in PB early, my mistake). He has no problem pass blocking and it allows me to focus more on his attributes. At level 40 his trees will be:
2-0-0-0-8
3-3-1-1-1 (CE)
Also, my LOT has 2 pieces of Protector
3-1-1-1-9 (CE)
2-2-0-0-0
LG has 2 Foundation
2-0-0-9-0
3-3-1-1-1 (CE)(might move CE to blocking tree)
RG has 2 Pancake (might change these out, but I want to try them, just rolled both this week)
2-0-0-0-0
3-3-1-1-9 (CE)
ROT has Run Block and Get Low. He is also pretty much strength based(96/73/72), gave up 2 sacks this season.
2-0-0-0-0
7-7-1-1-1
(had a big pancake year, but the league was weak)
*all of these trees will be at level 40, assuming my RG has enough tokens to boost (come on...long off season)
**many of the pieces also have attribute bonus'
I think a double piece can be useful if you don't want to spend a lot of SAs on the trees and focus on one specific SA. Now I know these numbers might not be optimal to some, but I prefer to build the attributes (4th cap agility, want to test 3rd cap confidence on my C). Also, I think my LG will be bumping some into Shock Block. From what I have been watching this season it seems to be useful against high agility DTs breaking blocks. My RG and C will also be pumping Run Block and Get Low.
Last comment: with Protector, Line General and Pancake you save double the SPs, think about it boys
Peace
