Coaching a skavenless underworld denizens team is not an easy task. The troll helps getting some of what the team lacks due to having no rats.

You are probably seeing such teams playing now. That's due to a on particular event. And I dare to say my skavenless team - Dwarf Orcs With Horn - is pretty darn fine. Or was. It's in the process of being rebuilt from scratch.

Gorka the troll was slayed by a troll slayer. Good bye legend, you did well. You survived four deaths so far (twice in ONE match!). Your time was up tho, your spark extinguished. Remember one thing in your afterlife though; we hated you having just one skill from double roll on level up!

Only one dubs on level up? So you had Block right? Nope, Gorka had Pro skill. Was it worth it? Damn right it was!
Block would help staying up on both own and opponent's blocks. So:
- more chances to down the player due to both down becoming safe
- removing opponents (synergy with mighty blow and normal mutation access)
- safety from opponent's both down rolls
- faster SPPs generation
- more time standing as a passive roadblock

What Pro gives:
- a chance to reroll failed blocks
- a chance to reroll any roll
- increased mobility due to rerolling failed Really Stupid, Dodge (synergy with Break Tackle)
- more time as an active roadblock (synergy with Break Tackle and various mutations)
- more use as a blitzer (same dynergies)

So what a skavenless underworld troll actually NEEDS to do?
- blitzing, as gobs are bad at it before getting some skills, even then they are unrealiable, having one goblin blitzer is not enough for a whole match
- providing strenght where it's needed
- providing roadblocking qualities exactly where needed (tentacles and stand firm, just get next to the excaping opponent ballcarrier and hold him (pro reroll on really stupid helps to get there)

In my opinion, Pro on Gorka proved to be a great skill and I used it extensively. It greatly improved his usability. I will continue to chose Pro over Block on my team's trolls on the first level up dubs. Note that this is about skavenless Underworld team. Trolls in, for example, Orc teams should go for Block first.

By the way, the new troll that replaced Gorka got killed in his second match. We have no cash for yet another one. We will be playing with four journeyman now. And no troll for one, or rather 2-3 games. Rebuilding the team almost from scratch.
