The il180 right-side gear does that, but the accessories do not. If you combine them and have the entire set, you are left with enough CP to use the early 2-star rotations that were developed. These rotations will need to be significantly altered for 3-star crafts. They will also require all the cc skills you are not supposed to need as a specialist (as you need to also have a soul of the crafter equipped to reach the correct stats). The specialist actions do not help with this significant deficit this gear set gives you when compared to melded gear and rotations.

As soon as you look at the potential losses due to NQs it will actually end up cheaper to just make and meld the il170 sets.
