Besides skipping a "poor" status without consuming any active buffs, is there any other way to use Careful Observation to benefit a craft?

My first thought about this one was "oh, it allows us to skip a 'good' state which would screw our whistle stacks."
Except that too is gone. I'm confused about this thing's usefulness. -
10-30-2019, 01:55 AMNicodemus_MercyPrecisely why I was asking for people's thoughts on what purpose it serves outside of skipping a "poor" state after an "excellent". I mean, being able to skip that without losing buffs is a very useful thing don't get me wrong, but if that's all Careful observation is good for then it seems a bit underwhelming for a specialist skill (the only specialist skill right now), and it also costs a reagent.Quote:

10-30-2019, 04:06 PMRyazHmm.. I suppose the only thing then would be to fish for better stats so you can proc Intensive Synth or something without losing timed actions. It probably still won't be used much simply because it requires delineations. They probably should have just kept it as a normal specialist action and removed the delieantions from the game.Quote:
