Name of [element] skills are still kind of bad

[Sibyll]

It's been a while since I made the Primal weapons, but if I recall items with the "Aspect: Element" characteristic general impose a rather large progress penalty. I think the i95 weapons on my 4* Blacksmith were one of the hardest crafts to HQ, aside from the Balanced Darksteel Hooks at the time.

My point is, it's hard to say that SH2+RS*2 would be as good without seeing some numbers on a synth that is aspected, which you may or may not have already done.

Yes I know what they do.

100+200(1-%progress).

If I might ask, the Name skill increases the base efficiency of brand by 200%(1-%progress)... so that at 0 progress it would have a base of 300%? If that's correct then that means Brand with Name active would be a 600% progress opener for recipes Aspected to that element because Brand get x2 efficiency when used on Aspected recipes.
