The 3 Star Crafting Rotations - General Compilation

thinking about it..!

if you're having no luck with Tricks opportunities at all then it would play out like so..

i'd clip the last stack of the first CZ because using the second CZ during SH forces you into a 50% HT. but 6CP or 14CP alone can't grant any additional actions beyond Observe.

but! if you can get a Tricks at any of the first four opportunities then you wouldn't clip the first CZ. then that 6CP + 8CP + 20CP = 34CP. which is enough to power the GS that would otherwise require two Tricks.

in either case.. you're giving yourself a free Tricks opportunity. but we could capitalize on that in the case of no Tricks during the first CZ by using an Observe to prevent CZ clipping. this grants yet another Tricks opportunity.

so in the case of no Tricks taken in the first four opportunities then we'd be giving ourselves an additional 2 opportunities for a total of 8. chances are you won't be able to go through the sequence without at least 1 Tricks. with that assumption.. we would be able to at least use innovation on our last two touches like so..

(note that i can't select the Observe ability at http://ffxiv.lokyst.net/. this SS is meant just to depict quality achieved at 384 control with no hasty fails and innovation and ingenuity II on byregot.)

in the case of either only a single Trick before needing to observe, or only two tricks taken at any of the five opportunities after observe, what you would actually want to do is

that is a mess-load of quality. toss a few good conditions on any of your hasty or basic touches and with one or no hasty failures you're probably going to hit 100% with no initial quality.

if you get an early trick (thus did not Observe) then each subsequent trick replaces a hasty with basic.

looks like i misunderstood CZ clipping. using a second CZ as depicted in any of these SSs does clip the last stack of CZ. bollocks. i thought the simulation was mishandling the second CZ since after a bunch of changes in the sequence editor it starts throwing out lots of erroneous numbers and you have to rebuild it from scratch.

well back to the CZ drawing-board. i just hate the thought of refreshing CZ during steady hands. i want something better than that..
