I'm always wary of giving players stat ups when I don't think it will actually help them at their job in proportion to the increase in team value, but maybe I'm crazy. Anyway, I had a dwarf Blitzer get his second level, and roll a +agility

This is the Dwarf Blitzer: https://fumbbl.com/p/player?player_id=10568141

This is the team that he's on. https://fumbbl.com/p/team?team_id=801676


EDIT:
I went with the +Agi

What's his job?

Why not change it to something that can use AG4?

The Blitzer has no Dodge (so no synergy with AG 4) and he's MA 5 (too slow to be a ball handler), therefore I wouldn't take +AG, by the way I generally take +1 AG only on Runners.
I'd take Mighty Blow.

Ever really need to put a Guard somewhere on the opposite side of your formation to push the Blocking Dice into favorable conditions? An AG4 Guard would be great in times like that.
Plus, all the other times you could use some extra Agility... like Sacking a loosely Ball Carrier that requires a Dodge to get to him... or picking up the ball after Sacking the Ball Carrier... or Dodging Away with that ball... and/or Throwing that ball to an open Runner who can transport that ball to safety.

IMO there are 4 players on a Dorf team that +AG can be of great use... the 2 Runners and the 2 Blitzers. It would be nice to get a DOUBLE on this guy down the road... but he can be a huge asset to the team if used right even if he never gets that DOUBLE.

It's hard to imagine dwarves could ever be really competitive without a player like that with +ag...

4AG Dwarf Blitzers are amazing
Had this guy at 4AG for almost 50 games and never regretted it.

Once he rolled a Double and got Jump-Up, he all but always saved me a blitz when he needed to throw a block.

He was also a good secondary ball handler, emergency passer, and the 2+ dodge or 3+ into 1 TZ was priceless. How many times have you avoided blitzing the ball because you needed a 4+ dodge. And think of all the free SPP for caught passes he can earn when you have the game in hand, and nothing else to do. Take the +AG

I wonder myself for B teams. For R Dwarfs i wouldnt hesitate and take the AG+.

Mainly comes down to how good your defensive positioning game is with dwarfs i feel. Some dwarf teams even go without any tackle on the positionals and still do good.

For R, personally, i wouldnt see it as bloat as said.

I voted 'anything else' before reading the whole title, I thought the question was for a longbeard. No hesitation at all for me on taking the AG on a Dwarf Blitzer.

Darn tootin'

Take the AG. Soooooo many useful things he can do.

If you don't take the AG4 now he's going to look really stupid when you give him leap.

Don't forget the rule of cool, AG4 is useful and interesting.

MB is the other obvious choice and it's not like you are lacking that.

I've skipped +AG several times on my Dorf Blitzers. I don't see the point.

Because ag4 is so much better than ag3. That's the point.
