Manipulation

[Conradus]

Steady hands gives 5 turns of increased success rate. You wasted a turn of steady hands on great strides. Wouldn't you rather use all 5 turns of steady hands on touch skills (or at least 4 turns anyway)???

While Great Strides with Steady Hands up is not a waste if you can't avoid doing it that way, in this case Manipulation, Great Strides, Steady Hands, Advanced Touch is the superior rotation as it's exactly the same except your Steady Hands lasts one more action. Remember, you've got three actions to get around to using that Great Strides, and it really doesn't matter at which point you wind up using it.
