Look at VenusDoom's post, then look at Charlie's post.

It is beyond ridiculous to have to level two crafts to high levels (mind you, it takes significantly longer to get to rank 30/36 in a craft versus 30/36 for a Disciple of War/Disciple of Magic class) to minimize the randomness of the current system. You're essentially saying that anyone who doesn't get Hand of the Gods and Perfection is gimped.

That's foolish. What should be the case is that if you have these two skills, your leveling and crafting ability should be enhanced. You shouldn't be required to have these two skills to mitigate the randomness of crafting.
