Rapid Synthesis is and will always remain a pointless gamble for top tier recipes, because your choices are:
-Use another Ingenuity II at the start of the recipe in order to make sure you don't fail.
-Use it at the end and risk failure.
-Save CP/waste CP on reclaim.
Wasn't specifically saying rapid at that point was actually talking more about careful synthesis since the overall waste of CP and need of steady hand for the PbP and RS but ingenuity reduction of level is more powerful the higher the level as the stat requirement for each tier compared to its actual difficulty in gains in progress but because ingenuity only effects skills that are stat based the gain is dependant upon gear and melds. So at a point where 4 or 5 PbP are used it would be better spent else where.
