First of all, selective perception is real, I mean really real. Unless you've got real statistical data and analysis, your whining over a particular string of fails means next to nothing in regards to the actual rate of the ability.

Second, the RNG in this game really does seem weird. Statistically it is correct (meaning out of 1000 Reclaims, 900 of them will work) but this game tends to give you periods of consecutive successes and periods of consecutive fails, which further fuels the selective perception that you are failing more than the tool-tip suggests.

For example, Hasty Touch is 80% when buffed but I have had periods where I go for god knows how long without any fail. Of course, selective perception will make these "lucky" streaks go without notice by most people. When you get unlucky streaks though, you not only notice, you rage.
