    You may want to do some research and plan ahead before blindly making a post on something you don't understand.

    The flaw in your reason being that the nature of the Demimateria 'game' changes every patch. LTW was nearly useless as a desynth - until suddenly we hit the patch where it became the best for Fieldcraft III due to an introduced item. BSM 'could' get Mastercraft, but the massive investment made it extremely hard to recommend as useful... until the nerfs to the number of tokens needed to get Artisan's tools hit and it became the best; prior to that, GSM ruled.

    "Plan ahead" all you want, because the solution changes unpredictably every patch.

    That's the nature of the game though. At no point is every desynthesis class going to be equivalent, because it's very hard for them all to be equivalent. And that's probably a good thing - otherwise a lot of them would not be touched because people will always figure out 'the best' in an MMORPG. What I think does need to happen is for a greater variety of 'end product' results to be existant and desireable, beyond just FC3/BC3/Mastercraft. That way there's ideally going to be more than just 1-2 'best' desynth classes at every patch.
