RNG does sometimes suck, but the brand ability gave me less then the regular 100% did, and i did not have a condition that would (or if it does) affect the try. Also when i started the craft it gave me an emote that said "your item takes on the aspects of lightning" and i was surrounded by a graphic the whole craft. So i cant imagine that just happens unless the brand ability should affect it lol.

Ive just been frustrated with so many little things like this that dont seem to match up, if its bugged, why has it been for so long. And if its not a bug, why does it not work the way the tooltip says it should =)
