Could we please have our Good procs back?

[Vasala]

I am guessing the frequency of good / excellent procs for Heavensward 35 / 70 durability patterns were reduced to try to make the Heart of the Crafter skill useful. I would much rather have the proc rate return to at least ARR level and have the skill reworked. As it is it does not feel like much of a bonus to a specialist since you have to spend 45 CP and a delineation that you had to buy with blue scripts. Then you just get 7 steps with an increased chance of being good which means since you can't get back to back good procs the best you can hope for is 3-4 goods and probably will see less.

I would really like to see the whole specialist idea reworked as most of the skills feel way too random and way too situational. It felt like the point of the specialist was to be a way for people who were not omni crafters to be able to craft like us. It seems like it would have been a lot better to have given the specialist the ability to learn the skills normally cross classed as bonuses as they level. That would have put them on a more even footing. It would then give people the option to be a specialist or an omni crafter and still have similar ability with a specific crafting profession. Omni would still have the added benefit of not having to rely on other crafters to make some parts.

I haven't noticed a reduction in Good/Excellent procs at all. o.O

Odds of getting G/E Proces in L58 and 2-Star L60 recipes (using sample sizes of 600-700 steps or so)

Summary:
The chance of a Good/EXC during a step of a L58 d35 recipe seems to be about 1 in 7 (14.14%).
The chance of a Good/EXC during a step of a L60 2-Star d70 recipe seems to be about 1 in 11 (9.05%).

Confidence Interval for L60 2-Star proc odds: 9.05% +/- 2.05%

In 2.0 - 2.5 I'd get anywhere from 5-11 Good's in a single full-length rotation. 11 Inner Quiet stacks was extremely common. In 3.0 I'm lucky if I see 3 Good's on a level 60+ synth. It was nerfed massively.

11 stacks was never common for me and I've only seen that many Goods in a single synth very rarely.

I'll agree with OP that specialization seems useless. I still have my 3x Soul of the Crafter sitting in my storage.

Must be different for everybody.. cause 11 stacks was not common for me..

I have all kinds of weird procs. I will have times when it procs almost everytime it can and then times when I get zero and all fails...it should have some kind of balance. We are suppose to be MASTER crafters in our profession...how can we screw up on a craft that bad and fail every attempt with a 90% success rate. The game sure sticks to the "correct" % of HQ when you are quick synthing...hmmmmmm

Chose my specializations and have not used any of their abilities, not even once to test, because they all seem completely worthless.

edit: lol er this post a bit off topic...so nvm. >.<

Agreed. I noticed a slight decrease of procs on 35 durability. Not on the 70 however.
