I think frenzy could be a nasty combination with Leap and the +str, just think how easy those Dwarf and Orc cages will be broken 
What about Claws, oh wait, Dark Elves don't worship Chaos
I agree Jump Up is a nasty surprise for those coaches that only look at the +str. Mighty Blow is a nasty choice too.
I think any of those skills would fit great depending on which way you would like to use him.
I voted for Frenzy though |

+MA.
When combined with ST4 and leap, it makes him a terror anywhere on the field. Furthermore, it makes him a little bit better on the O side of the ball, which is always nice. The +MA adds to his versatility all-around. If he didn't have leap out of the box, I would recommend the MB, but with leap, I think the +MA is the way to go.
Either that or Pro, the leaper's best friend. |

I went with +MA. I think it's safe to assume that he's pretty much the only 8449 player around, if he takes it (possibly an orc blitzer or two in there, I guess) and that's just kind of cool.
Also, I'm biased against Jump Up. I'm generally not too superstitious, but I am firmly convinced that the description of the Jump Up skill should be changed to say:
| Quote: | | Any time a Jump Up player is knocked down, the armor roll automatically succeeds and any stun results on the injury roll should be treated as KO. |

I don't know if you play a lot of dps, if not then take jump up cause he is a player many will target and then it's nice to get right up again (especially with av9). MB would also be very nice, as someone said, it helps the ff. |

hm that´s true slanter but most teams at that tr have a dp(at least mine have) and if i knock him down i will foul him especially if he has jump and than he will be most likely knocked out even with av9. |

Let's face it, if you play decent players, then this player is going to be dead from blocks/fouling in 3 or 4 games anyway.
Any AV 9 elf is just asking for an early death |

+MA, that guy actually needs normal skills more than doubles. Dodge, tackle, side step, pro come to mind. Jump Up is nice, but ST4 guys are less likely to go down and with MA 8 he cans still moves 7 squares upon getting up, on top of also being faster when he's standing. More MA also means that you don't have to go as deep when you're playing offense, allowing you to protect him more efficiently.
The second choice that I find the most tempting is Guard. With dodge and Side Step, that would make him incredibly hard to move. It's nice when you want to cage your opponent's offense so they can't go anywhere. I've done it a few times with my own dark elves before Malthor sent em on a highway to hell...
My third choice isn't on the list, but that's what I would definitely take on a second double roll after taking the +MA: Nerves of Steel. Leave him anywhere in the middle, pass to him and leap out to handoff to someone in scoring range.
Finally I like frenzy too, but on a DE team you get it for free on the witches so to me that's a bit counter productive. MB isn't bad, but that just makes him a bruiser, which isn't really that exceptionnal to me. |

ya know Jump up is looking nice now that I think about it. JU with 4st and 9av is pretty sweet. Like having ghoulchewer on your elf team : ) In fact, is there anyone else out there with a 9av jump up player??
I doubt having jump up would get him anymore fouled than simply being a 4st blitzer. |

My guess is that this guy will advantageously be used as a "Long Range Interceptor", so I voted for +1 MA. Many argue that more SPPs will be earned with MB, but that precisely might not be to your liking as bad ageing results could ruin his potential. So you could consider this player as a surgery tool that may not be the one who'll score or cas very often, but will aim at giving your team the ball back.
I do just that with my HE blitzer Black High and I deliberately try to postpone him reaching 76 SPPs:

If you are planning on using him to knock people out of the way and take down ballcarriers then I would go Frenzy. You are an experienced coach and should be able to handle knowing when to use him and therefore won't put yourself in some situations that some noobs do with the frenzy skill. I like Uber's point that you can already have Frenzy on Witch Elves, but with AV 7 I do not see them as very reliable if you play against a range of races. |
