How do you figure out rotations before the simulators are updated?

quick question what simulator are you referring to, I've never heard of one.

There's this one, for example: http://ffxiv-beta.lokyst.net/#/simulator

Personally, I didn't really try to figure out a rotation for 3 star crafting this patch. Seeing the requirements and how you can provide every material in HQ (unlike Fieldcraft Demis required for some 2 star recipes) I was pretty convinced that Rath's rotation would serve me well.
