Warpstone Troll rolls second double
My underworld team (https://www.fumbbl.com/p/team?team_id=850420) has been brutalzied this season. I've struggled to skill up players or just keep them alive. But my troll has been reliable. He already has block and claw and now Nuffle has blessed me with a second double skill. What should I choose? Dodge? Pro? Or something more unusual like safe throw to prevent those goblin interceptions?

I've heard people praise Pro on important big guys. I can't see dodge as a bad option either, though... especially if Break Tackle is in his future.

Tackle has merit....Just saying.

One thing to bear in mind - you're in L, so when picking the skill, think about the rest of the league, your division (and how likely you are to stay in it/not have divisions changed etc) and the overall meta.
Posted by Perfectian on 2016-12-21 05:58:13
Yeah, Tackle is worth considering.
Posted by keggiemckill on 2016-12-21 05:59:11
I think Pro is the safest, but I wouldn't go that way. I deffinately would go Dodge. Then two heads and break tackle.
Posted by keggiemckill on 2016-12-21 05:59:55
Actually tackle has a great deal of merit.
Posted by Beorg on 2016-12-21 06:44:12
Keller, maybe I should give him jump up?
Posted by Beorg on 2016-12-21 06:45:38
The meta game of the league is why I went with claw. Tackle is not a bad option.

Tackle.

There is always Sneaky Git.

Or Dodge, followed by Right Stuff.

What about Frenzeh?
Posted by Naru1981 on 2016-12-21 09:03:01
Leap?
Posted by Uedder on 2016-12-21 09:34:21
Pro. Great on trolls.
Frenzeh is also nice. More fun but not as good.
Dodge is nice, but pro is just plain better all-around. Makes big guys almost reliable. Also since you appear you be using the troll actively.

Pro. Once i had a Block/Pro/Tentacles/Claw Troll. He was awesome.

Avoids the stupid a little more and eliminate loner rerolling.

Tackle might be good short term as your Blitzers don't have skills, but you can get it on the Blitzers eventually where it will be better. Dodge is nice with Break Tackle but I think the Tentacles / Stand Firm route is better for Warpstone Troll. Pro, on the other hand, is just awesome on any Big Guy, makes him so much more reliable, and as UW you really need your Troll to be reliable. Go Pro!
Posted by Grod on 2016-12-21 11:19:14
Pro. Tackle is overkill because his next skill is tentacles.
Posted by Prez on 2016-12-21 11:22:42
Dodge all the way. As a st5 blodger he'll have survivibility and be as annoying as he'll, even more if he then gets SF

Have a look at Sludge .....was best troll ever ;)
Posted by m0gw41 on 2016-12-21 12:42:13
Leaning towards pro for this guy, he needs to be both killer and road block so should be as active as possible.
Posted by delusional on 2016-12-21 14:35:59
Tackle = Great for hunting. Honestly you are NOT hunting with this guy and this team! May stop humans from running on LOS but against the bashy teams forget it. Don't go tackle, would suit Chaos or Orcs or Goblins playing stunty. You don't chase with mv4 and Really stupid, tackle dumb choice unless you are facing a lot of Hling, Amazons or Goblins.

Now is this guy a road block, support or marker/blocker?
marker/blocker: Pro so you can move him.
Support: Pro, Guard (ignore the double) or Side step for Luls.
Road block: Foul appearance (ignore doubles) or dodge(preferred unless facing a lot of tackle).
Posted by FRSHMN on 2016-12-21 14:54:47
Pro or tackle... dodge maybe.
Posted by licker on 2016-12-21 16:36:13
It's underworld guys.

Dodge. 100% dodge every time.

Pro is trash, don't believe the hype.

Dodge. 100% dodge every time.
Posted by ArrestedDevelopment on 2016-12-21 17:10:25
I'd have said dodge too, except he's in a division with dwarves, cdorfs and humans. Hence my initial post.
Posted by keggiemckill on 2016-12-21 18:59:32
Yeah give him JU! ;) don't use my Protestant name on here David.
