But how else are you going to get a ST4 gutter runner on a dark elf team? |

Which build includes a Witch Elf and 4 Blitzer and 2 rerolls?
4 Blitzer plus Runner > 3 Blitzer and Witch Elf |

I disagree.
Line elf > Runner. |

+MA plus Dump Off anytime over -MA/+AV no skills for a ball carrier. |

I prefer to have the four players with Block on the front who do the blocking and blitzing stuff. If I'm playing Stunty or Wood Elf it differs. |

I would take all positionlas except the assasins. That would mean four blitzers, two witches and two runners and only three linemen. Blitzers are fantastic +ma and block make them much better than linemen. Witches are even better: dodge, frenzy and jump up make them the true blitzes of the dark elf team. take them earky so they will get block, before your opponent gets tackle.Runners are fantastic: a ball carrier that simply throws the ball to a team mate when attecked makes it much harder to free the ball for zhe opponent. You probanly only need one of them, but I would take two, if one rests in the KO-Box the other can take over.
Assasins on the other hand are pure trash in my opinion: to slow for shadowing and to fragile to stab opponents. And you will never skill these guys, because stabing won't make them better. |

I'd go the 4 blitzers route. Also swap the runner for an assassin. |

You can now easily skill anyone you like to with mvp on d3.
Two Runners is questionable since it effectively offers an AV7 target with no defense/offense positional value whatsoever. |

Yep.
They are trash. |

a runner is nice once the rest of the team is purchased and built up. |

Since Dark Elves lack expectional speed, a Runner add movement by the ball carrier. I cannot believe that you really favor a +AV over +MA and Dump Off on your ball carrier! |

That said, dump off has won me more games than its lost because i tend to plan ahead for it |
