With my HE, I actually didn't use the guard at first... block guard is only 16 spp, that only makes 16 more to next skill! Scoring 2-3 TD's per game with him(quite doable with elves) only makes max of 3 games until you get blodge guard. A nice MVP or an ogre game could take that to 2 games. Once he's blodged up, you can start using the guard assist.Jimmy Fantastic wrote:A few people on FUMBBL said that Guard would get him killed with him not having Dodge and I agreed, If he had already had Dodge or Blodge I probably would have gone with Guard.
Anyway I took Dodge on him and bought a 2nd catcher who has got Dodge and AG5 ! after two crazy games, 1-0 vs Necro where he was left with 3 men on the pitch and 4-0 vs Orcs.
MB Blitzer has got 7 cas in 4 games so I think it was a good choice.
That's one thing that's nice with HE, skilling a player to either 16 or 32 spp really isn't hard, meaning that you can take doubles earlier than you might do on less agile races.
