We need a fix to inspiration versus skill

My Leatherworker can guarantee rank 5 quality with any of the Mail Decay patterns with any combination of embellishments, missives, and primal infusion without inspiration procs and it’s not even fully invested into Boots yet. As it is I can make the Leather patterns at R4 with the same ‘restrictions’. Even when I step outside of this realm I still have a very high shot at r4 Mail items, some Leather, and the bow. Inspiration serves a purpose if I leave my wheelhouse, but is virtually wasted otherwise.

It seems extremely odd to me that my JC cannot do the same with the ‘high tier’ cuts when fully invested into that cut.

Are you factoring in the Concentrated Primal Infusion, which adds 50 to the difficulty? Base difficulty of everything except the offhand is 415, assuming my math is correct max possible skill is 342 (excluding racials) + 103.75 from quality 3 mats for 445.75. That’s enough to guarantee a quality 5 392 uninfused item or 405 with a Primal Infusion, but it’s 19.25 points short of getting a 418 Concentrated Primal Infusion. The offhand is a weird outlier with significantly lower skill requirements than most other high end crafts.
