Unclear roadmap for omni-class leveling.

[LineageRazor]

Get WVR to lv60 first and CUL to lv53 (Muscle Memory is more reliable than Maker's Mark and better for cross classing as it only consumes 1 skill instead of 2).

While it is true that Maker's Mark consumes two skill slots (since you need to cross-class the otherwise-worthless Flawless Synthesis skill, as well), saying that Muscle Memory is more "reliable" is totally missing the true value of Maker's Mark. The fact that no CP or Durability is consumed while using Flawless Synthesis under its effect is pretty significant.

One common opening for MaMa users is the following:

MaMa -> Comfort Zone -> Inner Quiet -> Flawless Synthesis until done, but Tricks of the Trade ONE Good or Excellent condition along the way.

This formula, while not giving you quite as much progress as Muscle Memory does since you sacrificed three MaMa steps for CZ, IQ, and a TotT, plus the occasional failed Flawless Synthesis due to the 90% success rate, does not use any durability AND it gives you Inner Quiet for only a couple CP spent (the TotT pays for the MaMa, and the Comfort Zone pays for most of the IQ).

With Muscle Memory, you've spent slightly more CP, you've spent 10 Durability, and you still have to pay for Inner Quiet - all in exchange for maybe a twelfth more progression.

Of course, as was mentioned, none of this matters unless your recipe is advanced enough that you can go a whole Comfort Zone within the duration of the MaMa, so we're talking level 60 one-star recipes or higher. On such recipes, though, it's very powerful.

It's also a pain in the butt, wading through all those Flawless Synthesis. The fact that folks put up with it anyway says a lot!
