+AG on Storm Vermin?

[klauser]

Just rolled 5+6 for my Guard, Niggle SV. Not sure if +AG would be any good on SV, since you have four GRs while lacking pieces with S access.

Teams looks as follows right now:

SV - Tackle, Guard, MB
SV - Guard, (Nigg), [rolled 5+6]
Thrower - Block, Accurate, Extra Arms, KOR
GR °1 - +ST, Block, Tackle, Side Step, Wrestle
GR °2 - Guard, Block, Side Step, (-MV), (-MV) MNG
GR °3 - +MV, Block, Two Heads, Side Step, Sprint
GR °4 - Wrestle
Linerat - Kick, Dodge
Linerat - Wrestle
Linerat - Block, (-MV)
Linerat - Block
Linerat - +ST
Linerat - rookie x 2

Also, would you cut the Guard GR with -2 Movement?

I would fire the -2 mov gutter runner. He is not worth the value.

+AG on storm vermin is up to your game play. He could be your back up plan. With +AG he is an agile guarder.

On the other hand, +AG is as much team value as two skills. It is a close call for me.

Ag4 wins games.

That gutter runner is now immune to -MA from Serious Injury. 7 movement is still pretty fast. If you get to use the Guard effectively, I'd keep it.

Hard call on the blitzer. You really need all the S skills you can get so I might skip the AG.

Don't tell your dice because you would roll more 1's too proof your wrong

What environment? If perpetual; has niggle; sack.

[klauser]

It's a perpetual league, but it's my first season in 1st Div and I have a shot at reaching the play-offs. For that I'd rather have niggled Guarder than a rookie SV.

I might considering sacking him at the start of next season, but I think I prefer to keep him until he dies. Storm Vermin are a bitch to level up IMO.

[Darkson]

AG4 + Guard is a great combo, and you've got 2. Really, 3 GR should be more than enough for scoring, use the Blitzer and the -2MA GR to get that Guard where you need it.

So you would suggest to go AG4 on the SV and to keep the -2MV GR?

[Darkson]

At least for the time being - as Ullis said, the GR can't be effected by -MA anymore, and you've got 2 well-developed GR for scoring, plus a back up, what you need is protection, and 2 AG4 Guarders is nothing to be sneezed at, especially as one of them is a Blodger in it's own right.

I'd probably cut the GR before the next season, especially if the 4th has got some skills by then.

Other than MB, maybe Grab, and maybe PO (especially if you got Claw), what over ST skills do you want on your SV?

[klauser]

What I really lack is a dedicated killer - MB Claw PO, the whole package. It's unlikely that the niggled SV will ever get there, but having a second instance of MB would already help a lot.

On the other hand, I agree with your assessment regarding the value of mobile Guard, so I can now see going with the +AG.

[Smurf]

Yes!

Put that GR on the LOS... you'll be surprised how resiliant they are. I know a few players now with nigs waiting for 'retirement' from the game.

If you (klausser) are into winning games, then becoming a subset of furry elves is a no-brainer....

Naw.

The problem with niggles isn't the extra cas. It's the extra KO chance. There's something like a 20% greater chance of getting KO'ed!

That's why I retire my nigglers...the niggle rarely kills them, but it does mean they spend far longer in the KO bin.
