Also, sounds like we will need to setup double-blessings rotation now that the IQ bonus (and Innovation) is capped.

Seems like we have new puzzles to resolved now that we cannot just pump the biggest numbers as possible.
We'll need to see the effects of the new skills to evaluate this though.

They nerfed heart because it can be used to create an infinite CP loop with whistle. "No one" uses heart because its overkill. If they didn't nerf heart though, Ishgard crafting would probably been all about doing endless whistle loops.

I think that the cap means you will stop seeing a gain in Quality added from touches at IQ11. Later on, when gear gets good enough, you won’t see a gain in Quality added from touches at IQ10. IF you have more than 1500 base Control, Innovation will be useless at IQ11. I would have to do the math to know if/when IQ10 would hit that 3k mark. A table of when each IQ hits that 3k mark would be interesting.
