3 Star token rotation help

Apparently there is a 3 post per day limit for me I very very very nearly bit, i wrote out a whole detailed explanation but i chose not to post it . I'll drop more hints since we're playing a game ^^


Let's look at what we know.
1) That's a 3 star rotation for an item with 801 difficulty, 8964 quality and 80 durability
2) Before being able to do 3 star, you require Artisan Main hand, FULLY melded AF set, and only +3cp melded onto the militia offhand to hit. 394 craftsmanship, 378control and 398 cp with food.

Now and here is the funny part. I went back to my old 3 star gear and tried the rotation as a "new/fresh" 3 star crafter would and i came up short, couldn't complete the synth. 2x PbP, ING2 + 2x RS and CSII wasn't enough progress to complete the synth.

But objectively looking at the rotation: the 2x pBp and 2x RS is very standard at only the cost of a SHII. The Observes are well, wasted steps and wasted cp since there are "other" methods of baiting out a condition. Anyone attempting this craft has Melded AF gear + artisan MH + at least unmelded Artisan OH. 426 craftsmanship, 395 control, 398 CP. So i don't understand why the rotation assumes a low of 388 cp when cp is easy + cheap to meld and should be prioritized over anything. I didn't even think about the additional CZ but that would add more CP Also, i mistyped. It is 73, not 75 and yet think of what you can do with an additional 73 + 14 CP in that rotation. When i see a rotation that almost wastes 100 CP, i just have to shake my head a little, granted i might not have done it in the most polite manner but i do know what i'm talking about and am trying to help ^^

One last thought, but there are other cross last skills that can and should be utilized, so why not use Basic Syntheses under SHI or SHII over CSII, just a thought about working it in, if you do it right you still get 2 bait opportunities for the right condition.

Once you're at 3 star stats, there is no "jump-in" crafters, you either know what you're doing or you don't. The above rotation shows me that you don't, i didn't want to say it outright but you got all defensive and hostile, i guess your name suits you. I don't give hand outs, this isn't a game where crafters collaborate, they compete but i don't mind helping out ^^ so you can take the hints i gave you and try and figure it out for yourself or brush me off as a troll; your call.
