Rumination in high-end rotations

[monochromicorn]

If you use Rum, you cannot use Byregot's and visa versa, as both skills use up your IQ stacks.

Byregot's is by far the superior skill.

in the original post, it says "once the quality is there", so unless you want to try for +100% byregots blessing is useless.

I can't tell if your trolling or being serious? O.o

He means using Rum after Byregot's...

When I wrote the post I was working towards getting Byregot's Blessing. When you don't have Byregot's, Rumination is very useful at the end of the craft, so I wondered why people don't recommend it, not noticing that both abilities can't be used one after the other.

That last post was just aimed at monochromicorn.

I do get what you were asking and completely understand why you'd think you could use Rum after BB, having not used it before. ^^

Rum could still be used I guess, along with Reclaim, if you *had* to HQ a tough craft and had a bad run of hasty touches, just use Rum - Reclaim and hope the 90% chance to returns mats worked...

Not something I'd recommend at the moment, but one day could be useful.

Well, if you had a bad run of Hasty Touches, chances are that Rumination won't return enough CP to afford Reclaim anyway. Even in the odd instances where it does provide enough, I'd say that situation is rare enough that justifying Rumination's place in your limited number of cross-class skills would be a tough sell.

If you've had that many Hasty Fails, you'd know to use Reclaim long before you dropped below the CP needed to use Reclaim.

Like I said, not something that I think is useful *now*, but if we ever get some hard / important to HQ crafts, it could be.

Current crafts are too easy to bother using it.
