Desynth Issue

[L-D-Omlette]

If it's working as intended, then the patch notes you quoted are incredibly misleading. [...] Those patch notes say that the skill level of other classes will only go down in certain instances, and then it explains those instances by saying it will happen when you try to go above the 300 point limit.

Successfully desynthesizing an item will raise your skill level for that class. However, this may also lower the skill level of other classes in certain instances.
* If the skill level increase would bring your combined skill level over the 300 point maximum, the skill level of other classes will be lowered.

The way it is written in no way implies that the instance listed encompasses all possible instances...

True, but it only lists the one instance where we don't need an explanation.

It would have been worded to say "However, this may randomly also lower the skill level of other classes, even if the 300 point maximum has not been reached"

Thank you, I have dyspraxia, which comes with a reading disorder, and i completely understood it and was more confused as to why others didn't. Turns out my dyspraxia wasn't turned on at the moment :P. Besides the patch notes there are the tool tips that are un game, i believe they mention something like this.
