What is wrong with reclaim?

[Kenji1134]

What does seem "wrong" sometimes is the amazingly streaky nature of RNG failure.

Now I will note that I do not craft as much as I used to... just waiting for Heavensward at this point... but I recall that there would be a lot of synths where I would have a much higher than expected success rate... typically leading to no reclaim.
OR I would have a synth where before I even touch an action... something explodes.

9 80% HT's? 7 exploded.
Goods to replenish CP? Nah you're good bro!
Absolutely horrible synth demanding Reclaim? Nope that blows up too!!!

Or my personal favorite. Having to do 2 80% RS at the start of the synth... boom, Boom... Reclaim... BOOM!!!! - on an expensive synths that is "put fist through monitor" rage inducing.

This is the exact thing that irritates me to no end. Yet, to hear elitists tell it, this situation doesn't justify modifying abilities' success rates to prevent such streaks from occurring.

RNG streaks like that really invalidate the skill that we work hard to attain and that is hardly justifiable.

I'm still wishing we could get an achievement for Hasty Touch blowing up 8 times in a row with Steady Hand II active or even blowing up 10 HT's in 1 synth sitting with SH2 up. I'd have that achievement in a heartbeat. Just would be nice to have an achievement, don't care what it is. Call it "You Tried" and our title is a star icon. Or give us the title "the Forsaken" or something to show that we didn't have RNGesus's blessing. I'm sure everyone will have it when they start on their Master 2 books. Least it will be something to look forward too while throwing gil into the fire.
