Most unused skills for first or second choice
What do you'll feel are the skills that at least likely chosen and the skills that are least used

Re: Most unused skills for first or second choice
I think those are two different questions, for example, I've never once seen anyone choose Thick Skull on a skillup, but it's used all the time by Dwarves and Skeletons and Ogres.

Re: Most unused skills for first or second choice
But, going through the skill lists ... of the skills I have personally never taken ...
- Never taken Pass Block, but I've thought about it.
- Haven't taken Pro since 3rd ed (when it could be used on armor and injury rolls)
- Haven't taken Safe Throw (but I've used it occasionally on my High Elf team)
- Never taken Sneaky Git, never considered it.
- Never taken Pass Block, but I've thought about it.

That is a slightly different question to what you posted as the topic title.daloonieshaman wrote:What do you'll feel are the skills that at least likely chosen and the skills that are least used
Diving Tackle is a great skill but rarely picked before a third skill. After Claw and Two Heads you see very few mutations. In-built skills like Catch and Pass are rarely taken by other players. There are plenty of weak skills like Diving Catch and Pass Block that have niche uses but you tend to need 3-4 other skills to make it worthwhile. Sneaky Git is the only skill I see people taking that I think is completely useless.

Block, Dodge and Guard.
Might explain my win/loss record.

Currently an ex-Blood Bowl coach, most likely to be found dying to Armoured Skeletons in the frozen ruins of Felstad, or bleeding into the arena sands of Rome or burning rubber for Mars' entertainment.

I've noticed the Two Dice Uphill Podcast has been doing some casts on rarely used skills including Jump up and Dauntless in the episode I am listening to now. I'm enjoying the discussion.

Re: Most unused skills for first or second choice
I'd say strong arm is not used very much if it is taken.
Even elf coaches don't pass that often and the player with the skill may not be the one who ends up with the ball. On top of that it is useless for quick passes and if you roll a 1 or 6.
So once you get to throw the ball and avoid all the exceptions it will only work if you would have failed by 1 anyway.

Re: Most unused skills for first or second choice
Isn't that quite suicidal? Getting knocked out is usually the safest fate for an elf, specially a wardancer! If I remember correctly, I've heard coaches rather risk a touchdown by foul wardancer (Anything But A One podcast?).Lyracian wrote:Rolo - Thick Skulled War Dancer http://obblm.leicesterbbleague.com/inde ... obj_id=213rolo wrote:I think those are two different questions, for example, I've never once seen anyone choose Thick Skull on a skillup, but it's used all the time by Dwarves and Skeletons and Ogres.

It is not my team! I was just pointing it out for Rolo that weak skills do sometimes get picked by a Coach.Baxx wrote:Isn't that quite suicidal?

Hehe yeah was just thinking out loud, not aimed at you. Funny choice for a wardancer, that's allLyracian wrote:It is not my team!
