Hi there,
in my Orc Team my troll just received his first Skill Up.
I rolled a (6,4) so should i take AV MA or just an ordinary skill (guard)

Greetings

i'd take guard

thought I would qualify this a bit more:

given his st5 and that he already has Av9+regenerate and you can have an apoth, I don't think the extra av will have much effect for the extra 30k value it adds on him

guard is better at 20k and more useful to the team as a whole

when caging do you really need that extra movement that much, do you move the troll about much at all currently, would you use the movement on him more time than you would use guard

that is why I take guard, more useful and adds less value

3rd'ed, Guard on the line will help you more than the other 2 options.

I also think that Guard is the way to go. More AV is not really needed, and while there will be times when you'll regret to not have taken the MA, you'll benefit from Guard far more often.

Guard first, the rest comes later (unless, of course, you rolled double and take block).

On Trolls (and other slow hard big guys) take guard, then Standfirm.
With those 2 skills they are very good for the team even with out taking actions, and risk loosing tacklezones. And they are very hard for your opponent to move away from his players.
Some will say stuff like Breaktackle is good, but its just one more roll to get a turnover.

If you get a 3ed skill on the Troll take grab, its wonderfull for cage-teams.

Guard, Stand Firm then Grab.

+MA is nicer than +Av IMO because it gives you more options when moving. Av9 is plenty and 10 is only really worth it in a Claw free league.
