    If you're using WN, you're praying for Excellent at the right time.

    Go for 2 MMIIs, and if you don't get at least 6-7 ToT procs reclaim and try again.

    Praying for an Excellent, or a Good condition, and making the best with what I have if it doesn't come.

    Are you saying you just go through MM2 a second time, and when you get 11 stacks you just keep going / blow our BB on an excellent condition should it show itself?

    Pretty much, with 2 MMIIs you are looking at 12-14 shots at Hasty Touch. If you don't have enough CP to do your final run or didn't hit enough Hasties, then Reclaim out.

    GSM: 12 FC3s
    CUL: 12 FC3s
    ALC: 18 FC3s (Bad luck here)

    Rotation is this http://i.imgur.com/H1FkdFL.png

    Technically speaking Rapid Synthesis rotations have a slight edge on HQ chance, but they take twice as long to do before you know if you have to reclaim or not.
    I didn't have supras when I made mine, so the only FCIIIs I wasted were on failed reclaims. I wound up with 1-5 NQ in each synth when I hit 3 HQ.

    I wasn't keeping track but I would estimate about 20-25 failed reclaims between all 8 books, but only 4 or 5 total on my last four books.

    I think Rapid is overrated for normal synths, but since these are swing for the fences style it can helpful.

    not necessarily. i use wn when i do the turn ins and i never count on excellent. i shoot for 10 stacks and a good, which is not totally uncommon if you use observe or throw an innovation in to try to get a good to pop. in the 7 classes ive mastered, only 2 gave me some trouble, but i was still perfecting my rotation and when to do certiain abilities. 5 classes i mastered, i used 8 fieldcraft 3s on average per class.

    im the type to risk it to, like letting sh fall off when im about to bb if it means that i can possibly get a good to proc. way i look at it, the non SH BB is the same rng as reclaim. on top of that, i only need 2 TOT. this means all the other hastys i can hit on good condition, meaning more quality.


    but yea, you basically need at least a good to pop, because even with 11 stacks, normal is not good enough. highest i got was around 30% with a normal 11 stack iq, and that was with full melds new offhand and supra.
