Cpomb in tournaments is hardly an issue because stacking Cpomb is rare as far as I know.
Claw is effective only vs AV 8+ players, true, but 8+ players are quite common, and moreover, Mighty Blow + Piling On do affect any AV, even 7 or lower.
Also, I have already explained that using PO on a crucial player can be gamechanging, even if you do it once.
For example, rerolling the injury when stunning a Tomb Guardian can change a drive.
Is the new Piling On weaker than the CRP one? Yes, of course, but still potentially too strong, |

I don't have any issue with the new PO in general. It's fine. The game at high TV does favour nurgle and chaos for sure and this will favour them even more in this case.
What I don't understand is why mutations are not just on doubles? For balance and fluff it seems obvious to me. Either way I'll keep on playing so long as we don't go back to the dark days of CRP. |

I'd love Mutations with double.
In that case, I think some of them should be improved:
Very Long Legs, as now, but giving +MA as well, and Foul Appearance and Disturbing Presence should be merged into a single skill. |

using a RR makes it fine really. The obvious negative with this new version is the turn 16 PO and foul. this stuff doesn't bother me, but this style of play will upset some people.
edit: I would like the 98 page PO thread to be unlocked though |

Probably because of this:

Basically, those "high tv" nurgle and chaos on FUMBBL you cite as favoured are mostly teams that literally should not exist within the rules as currently designed. |

Yes I think you're right. If it is indeed coming back as described, it's poorly thought-through. (shocker!) |

So, here is my question. Can you use Pro for the Piling On reroll. Three skill human blitzer. Mb, Pro, Pile On. Sure the Pro only allows PO to work half the time but... It would probably be worthwhile to have one of these. |

Pro is used to reroll dice - (1) you have not rolled any dice until you actually use piling on, which requires the team reroll (2) Pro itself cannot be used to reroll AV, injury or casualty dice, thus cannot be used instead of the team reroll.
It is a non-starter unless the rules are further changed. |

Some reasons to consider taking piling on:
- In league to kill or injure a rival's star player. They're ahead of you on the table, this lessens the chance of them winning their next game and boosts your chances of overtaking them. (similar reasons might exist in Box Trophy)
- In a Seasons league. Cas cash for the rebuy.
