You already conceded the point that Brow is better than Blessing in at least some situations, even if you don't personally feel those situations are important. You're too caught up in trying to defend SE's decision to realize what an asinine argument you're putting forward against an utterly innocuous criticism of a design decision. By your own admission, you don't even understand why they changed it; you simply assume that because they changed it they must have had a good reason, thus it's a good change. This is an obvious example of begging the question. Furthermore, having failed to silence the criticism, you're now trying to twist this to make it a personal attack against me. This really isn't a productive use of my time, and I would encourage you to take a break to learn how to discuss things constructively.

I just use my 4* macros up until 80 still. I use my 65-70 non spec macro to 75. nothing has really changed that much that I can tell.

Is there any meaningful new CP breakpoint that can be reached in the current gear?

DoL only gets around 30ish more GP from their new gear, which isn't really enough to allow for anything new in their rotations.

Well, with food that breaks you past the 850 mark, meaning once you hit a higher gathering threshold you can 4x appraisal boosts and still use +5% gathering on the 95% to ensure 100%.

As for crafters, 605 CP is looking to be pretty dumb, but whether that allows for more depends on what the new gear / Ishgard is going to require.

Any idea what's the required stats to 100% quick synth lvl80 mats?

Alot more than is possible to get at the moment if they still use the same system as previous expansions (which i doubt they changed) You won't ever reach 100% in the same tier of content.

They did buff quick synth considerably during SB, it went from failing a few when mass crafting Twinsilk or Gazelle Leather in melded Ala Mhigan to full success and 20% hq rate. So it might be different this time around.

Ala Mhigan came in 5.1 though, didn't it? Technically not same tier gear.

anyone not getting past 50% at start using full hq?
