Thanks for the detailed reply Nicodemus_Mercy

I did play around just a little last night with crafting.
I kind of welcome some of the skills going away. Crafting was getting a little bloated with to many of them.
It certainly is harder right now till I get a new rotation. I just got so used to some of those skills.
They really give barely any reason to be a specialist anymore and feel they should have at least left reflect there.
I try to do rotations myself without calculators or others rotations. I also do not use macros for crafting either.
I hear you on skill based crafting and is disappointing because it is one of the reason I liked crafting in FFXIV.
I defiantly hear you on RNG and seems to be SE way of making things tougher. My problem is RNG seems to be off.
