Manipulation

[Ed_N_Ants]

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)???

You should be using great strides before you initiate steady hands... You have three tries to use great stride and it only works once... So when you initiate great strides then choose steady hands you still have 2 more attempts on great strides and 5 attempts with steady hands... This allows you to choose great strides 3 times and use steady hands 3 times giving you 3 maximum qualities attemps with no failure rate... I do use manipulate once in a while but I usually use that with the waste not ability and only on 70 crafts...
