in a league of st4, the st4 wardancer can stripball on a 1d.
The st3 one will strip on -2d and maybe fall on his face.

I can think of many reasons to take the st. if you are in doubt.... IF, then always take the st. Unless you KNOW better inside then maybe. :)

Yay! Somebody voted Mighty Blow!

I can think of no other player type where the +STR is as easy a choice as it is on a Wardancer.


MB will be pretty useless if the league is really that bash heavy. AV9 is hard to break even with MB, and one STR3 MB player with little/no Guard support isn't going to make a dent in the basher's numbers.

Yeah I can see the build: Next sure feet, sprint and hope for an MA improvement.

I don't like putting the proverbial eggs in that basket.

Smurf, I love you. You elevate trolling to the level of performance art. :)

On the off-chance you're serious, this guy is too fast and too good to risk GFI very often. Let Catchers, or maybe the other WD, take stuff like that. (Except MA: ST4/MA9 = terror.) Maybe Sure Feet at 76 SPP after Frenzy and Side Step.

Not that this guy doesn't have 1TTD potential. Get yourself a Grab Tree and Frenzy on the other 'Dancer or on a Lino (after Block or Wrestle), then give this guy Tackle, Pro, or Frenzy, and you will blow through T8 defenses with the greatest of ease.

As to which development route to take, it depends on specific composition. What's your main personal competition? Build to beat them in particular. For a ST3 Wardancer, the basic skill menu seems to be Fend, Frenzy, Pro, Side Step, Strip Ball, and Tackle, as well as all stats and Mighty Blow, with the contingent skills Diving Tackle after Tackle and Side Step, Piling On for doubles after Mighty Blow, Jump Up after Diving Tackle or Piling On, and Juggernaut on doubles after Frenzy (Frenzy + Juggernaut > Frenzy + Mighty Blow on this piece; you want to force all the action to run up the middle to keep your Tree in the game). That's pretty much the vocabulary of ST4 Wardancer skills.

Dignity? Nah, you already play the ultra-cheesy fairies in tights... go for the title of:

:o SUPER ULTRA TIMMY MUNCHKIN KING POWER GAMER :o

Ya' know ya' wants it....
Who wants dignity when you can have a str 4 WD?

Anyways one of the arguments was that he would die sooner being str. 4 which is kind of strange since he would be harder to get down for people to give him the boot...

And if that is your problem, then Nuffle just send you a gift to learn how to protect your pieces...

Another way is to choose fend, instead.
