So far all the rotations I see can be condensed to a few tricks.

They don't seem to want you to replace basic touch with advanced touch at end game. It's like a one off skill you use in rare opportunities or at final use with blessing. Chances are you are doing like I was and building a simplified action bar with the best skills you have to complete a synthesis. As you can tell it isn't working. I've tried everything under the sun to make it work and it's a no go.

Basic touch with steady Hand II will work every time, has a 100% efficiency and uses 24 CP. Advanced touch has 150% efficiency but uses 52 CP. 2x Basic is 48 CP and 200% efficient. I guess the kindest way to put it, it isn't 1.00 crafting where we weren't babysitting a CP bar.
