Dwarf Blocker next skill

Post by swilhelm73 »

My killer CDw Blocker just rolled a regular skill:

CDw: MB, Claw, PO, [regular skill]

I was really hoping for doubles for JU, but oh well.

The skills that I can see making sense are:

Frenzy - more blocks, but he is only mv4, st3.
Grab - positioning for fouls or surfing (if I ever get frenzy on the bulls) - but he is the most likely player on my team to injure someone anyway.
SF - SF is just generally useful
Dauntless - stacks with his kill skills for st4/5 targets.

My team:

http://bbm.jcmag.fr/BloodBowlManager.We ... lang=en-US

My division in which I have one more game with each opposing team: Orcs, Orcs, Flings, Humans, DE.

My only loss so far is to one of the Orcs by forfeit (missed the scheduled game). I am tied for division lead with the Flings (yes you read that right - I'm the only team to beat them so far).

Guard. Always need more Guard.

So even though I already have 5 players with Guard I should go with it on a 6th player with PO?

Grab is fine in a bashing strategy.
Guard is always fine in all the strategies (and if guard next skill will be standfirm)
I won't advise you Frenzy, because it's usually better not follow if you want to us PO, not to offer a too easy target on the floor to the opponent dirty player...
Daunntless, why not. But i prefer Guard/Grab, and you have already many strentgh4 players in your team.
if you don't have already one why not Kick: on defense you will never put this guy on the TOS.

Sorry, wasn't looking at roster when I said that. I mean, I looked at your roster, but I really stopped at "hey, he doesn't have Guard, you're asking for a skill pick, and Guard's not on the list?" CDBs die a lot at high TV (though there aren't any Claws on that list of opponents), and coming back from a bad crash is really hard, once you run below that critical Guard level. I recommend exceeding it by two for this reason.

Grab is a good choice, I guess, but I'd only take it if I planned on doing more than just POMBing, like if I had a really evil surf game or if I had good 1TTD options. Dauntless will pay off unless/until it gets him killed, esp vs. Orcs. If you do Dauntless, and I can definitely see it, get Pro next. Pro is a "meh" basher skill, but when you have all the good ones already, and Dauntless for combo value, it's a lot better. SF in my mind is a #3 skill for a cog-type, after Guard and MB. I could see it on a killer, it is fun to see people scramble to get your man off theirs, but it's only fun until it gets 'em killed, and it sucks to use Super Stars that way.

Guard, because there is never too much of it.

...or Juggernaut, to negate Wrestle and Fend (most people forget Juggernaut negate Wrestle).

If you cannot stall out for an 8 turn drive to score with dwarves then you need to go and play canasta with your dad..if you can find him.

Juggernaut, Frenzy or Pro to add to the kill skills. Pro is not a bad pick because you want his hits to count but you should never have to go down the route of rerolling pushes.

Humm... Guard!
If you're set on that list, I might go with Grab.
