crafting is gone

[Raven2014]

I'm really not enjoying this. As someone using wacky rotations with specialist skills that could get a lot out of the system with little gear I'm now stuck in a worse spot than where I was. I seem to be able to HQ roughly where I was at but I use so much more CP doing it that I can't afford skills like reuse anymore. sadface.

If anything it's the opposite for me. It become so simple that I now have ton of CP left after HQing. The system becomes so simple that there is no need for "whacky" rotation, it just straight up synth with very few steps.

I hope the promise of the high tier recipes will be a challenge is true in the future, because crafting just got hit by the neft with the force of a freight train going down hill.

it's the opposite now actually, crafting is easier than ever before and you have more extra CP too, you can also use older stormblood food, skip the potion, use cheaper meldings and still have enough CP for reuse.

Then I must be missing something. I could HQ grade 2 tinctures with reuse, Stats were 2167 craftmanship, 2052 control and 510 CP. Without consumables. If someone can help me get back to where I was it would be highly appreciated. Like I said I can manage HQ but seem to be lacking the CP for reuse.

ingenuity is op now, it gives a massive boost to you, the element combo skill is a better version of the original piece by piece.

How exactly is the Element combo better than the old Piece by Piece?

it's not 1/3 of the total now always, the progress drop is much smaller now, you can only use the element combo and then finish the craft with 1 other skill.

EDIT: Nevermind I see it now. I was misreading the Name of Elements toolltip

Yet it's not enough for me to get back what I had. I'm just saying, like everything else they've done recently. They've lowered the skill cap overall but also the ability to push some rotations pretty far. Now I'll have to spend more time gearing up instead of trying to be smart about my rotation, that's all.

I feel like crafting is mildly more challenging now before 78...And then you get Delicate Synthesis...and then it becomes easy, easier than ever.

SE wanted to make it more approachable for new players, right?

...lol

Yeah, I think they need to understand there’s a difference between making things accessible, and just completely nerfing any sort of risk/difficulty into the ground endgame.
