Yours doesn't, but there are a lot of rotations that use MM2 on these forums. My point is based on me saving 160 CP by melding that Craftsmanship on two star synths rather than gaining 3 by dropping the Craftsmanship, that's all. Some people use Waste Not II which is less CP efficient than MM2, hence why I used MM2 as the example.

You and the previous person were talking about "max melds" and I said what you would need to meld to hit "397" craft while max-melding the other stat's.
Well, as I said, for some this will prove to be more beneficial, for others it won't. It's all down to individual needs. It's good having alternatives that might suit your needs. But for the record I never once suggested max melding your off hand. In both of my original posts for both of my rotations it says max melds minus the off hand and then it provides the materia I have melded on those.

Indeed, I apologise for that. That was quite a big oversight. When I changed to Goldsmith and saw 396 I immediately tested a two star synth and wondered what I was missing when I posted 397. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Often you'll still get 100% due to good on other Touch skills, but if those are normal, you'll be left with less than 100% if you get Poor on the AT.
I have had dozens of synths that have had Poor on that Advanced Touch and Normal on every other step that have all reached 100% quality. I'm not really sure what to say: for me it's 100%, and for many people I had shared this rotation with prior to posting it. What stumps me even more is I have less Control than you.
