You can cast it at a group of 5 enemies and the first 3 will drop dead almost instantly while the other 2 just stand there, seemingly invulnerable (although, when you fire Raid at them, this does seem to hit correctly but it uses a ton of mana).
I could be wrong but I think this is just the result of how the skills hit and your attack rating.
Earth talons is a larger singular hit (or maybe twice?) where each hit on an enemy goes through an AR check. 50% hit chance means only 50% of your targets will take damage.
Whereas Raid is a skill that hits multiple times on each enemy, and each hit goes through the AR check. So 50% chance means 50% of the projectiles deal damage, but all enemies are still taking damage, generally speaking.
I've noticed a similar effect with other skills, such as Retaliate/Iron Spiral/etc.
