Re: Troll(Orx) with Block and 5+5 What now?
Grab first, though. Multiblock lets you hit the same number of guys with fewer actions, while Grab lets you hit more guys with more actions. Of course, once you have both....

I would take dodge then break takle. Is a great combo for a bloking troll and he would become a pain both at atack and defense.

Re: Troll(Orx) with Block and 5+5 What now?
Or he doesnt do anything when he fails his RS roll and your not gonna chance burning a reroll. Pro is soo much better for this player than dodge. Other Big guys you can argue this with. But for BH and RS losing tacklezones is massive and Pro is the only skill to offset it.

Thanks for all the Ideas.
I took Pro!
And iam very happy with it.
I will count in the remaining Leaguematches how often it helped with RS.

Re: Troll(Orx) with Block and 5+5 What now?
I'm so glad you took Pro.
I'd never give Dodge to someone with the intention of only protecting him from hits, especially a troll as trolls are designed to take hits. When someone whacks your troll, you can thankfully count the players he brought in to assist and the fact that it wasn't someone important on the team he was hitting. The troll would need Break Tackle to do any dodging and Guard or Stand Firm are much better picks on an orc team. And where'd he dodge into with move 4? Pro even helps with one-turner attempts.

Along with RS rerolls you should track how many other actions, block, dodge, ect, successfull and failed with pro.VonGoldkokse wrote:Thanks for all the Ideas.

Re: Troll(Orx) with Block and 5+5 What now?
First Match with Gnecht RuBRECHT (Like a mixture between Santa Klaus and Bertolt Brecht a german playwriter
)
3 times RS he got it all with PRO
No need to Reroll any Block because mainly with Block he got them all. No Cas but he really made the victory quite Safe and was ALWAYS in the Cage.
2:0 against Woodies.
PRO is definetly ULTRAGOOD.
Thanks everybody for advising me

I'm really pretty surprised that the debate lasted so long. I thought Block and Pro as a combo was the prevailing wisdom for Big Guy doubles-skills.

Re: Troll(Orx) with Block and 5+5 What now?
I see reason to discuss for example, if it was a AG league and I was playing lizards I'd be inclinded to take pro and diving tackle in that order over block and pro. In this senario block and pro was appropriate but I can understand the need to discuss other options like dodge.

I'm surprised you've only used it 5 times in two matches. My Block-Pro Troll seems to use it every other turn! But he's on a Goblin team so I imagine he's probably a lot more active.

Iam all about security when it comes to BB.

Re: Troll(Orx) with Block and 5+5 What now?
On a Goblin team that is currently (temporarily!) retired, I had a Block/Pro Troll and I rerolled (with Pro) pretty much EVERY non-star block he threw just to rack up the causalties.
He was the League MVP that season.
