They don't explain much of anything well. I didn't bother with builds for the longest time because so many abilities do not work as described, and I didn't want to have to -blam!- around to find out exactly what they do. I love experimenting and dinking around with things, but when it comes to explanations of function, the description should be 100% accurate in each detail of its specific functions for all equipment. Their lack of proper explanations really kill buildcrafting. It shouldn't be hard to be accurate, especially with how much they obsess over it in every other facet. I haven't really used Recluse yet, but now I'm curious and going to have to check it out. I have zero doubts there's something missing in that explanation.
