Creating a new topic so people can understand what’s happening:
There’s currently a bug (and it may have been introduced with the Oct 29th patch) with Aspect of Recalling Feathers and Aspect of Empowered feathers.
While they are both equipped, Aspect of Recalling Feathers may stop working. If you’re in the overworld, this can be resolved by unequiping and re-equiping your Empowered Feathers ring. There is no resolution if it happens to you while you are in the Pit, which makes progression with this build impossible.
I suspect that it’s due to empowered feathers successfully spawning a feather, which short circuits recalling feathers completely, and breaks the item.
My recommendation, until this is resolved, is to use Aspect of Exhilaration on an amulet and stack lucky hit chance. It works just as well as long as you have someone to land on.

Thank you sir. I was coming here to report this very thing.

Yeah I theorycrafted a soar+evade build before the season started that I pretty much perfected. Now that this bug is happening it makes the build completely unplayable.
I was thinking it was because empowered feathers was never intended to be used to cooldown your evade (with scorn of the earth), even if your evade IS a mobility skill. But since the build doesn’t push out trillions of damage like the meta builds out there, I thought it wouldn’t get patched.
Using exhilaration and stacking lucky hit chance just isn’t viable for me since 1.) my gloves are the only open slot I have for turbulence aspect (so no FoF) and 2.) I am not going to refarm my GA3 (brilliance, dex%, crit chance) amulet and 2x GA2 rings (max life and crit chance) only to temper brick all of them over and over.
Hopefully they put it back to the way it was functioning. If not, I just won’t be playing spiritborn anymore. I have no interest in farming more gear to make the build work again, or playing a boring meta build. I have an unbugged, fun to play necromancer that I can fall back on, so I guess I’ll just stick with that character for the remainder of the season.

This is a little dramatic. I’m sure it’s just an overlooked bug that will be fixed in an upcoming patch.
Play the Necro for a bit. I’ve shelved my soar spiritborn until it’s fixed too. Hopefully this week.
Here’s a video of the recalling feathers bug active: https://youtu.be/MTvY3T6F9CA

having this issue too for my vortex/soar/evade spam support build ive been running since season start. casting the actual Soar move stops spawning feathers after a few casts and i have to revert to the evade-style soar thats a different shorter distance animation. i have to remove my gloves and put them back on to get it to work for another few casts.
tends to stop spawning feathers faster in hordes and group activities or when teammates are in close proxitimity or even someties when i cast scourge. I tested many things as this was my primary farming build but i couldnt dial it into just 1 reason, just noticed the increase of failures while doing cerain things but eventually it fails to spawn feathers on SOAR cast after so many casts garanteed, even running solo, eventully it breaks.
Evade usually continues to work but i have had instances where having no feathers spawn does leave me with no SOAR or evade to use. Im more conserned for getting the feathers to work properly cause theyre the only direct aspect that cools down Mobility skills and SOAR is Focus/Mobility and also has the benefit of being able to be casted while standing still, which is how i prefer to spam vortex in hordes and Mobs die while spawning
anyone wondering im using Loyalty Mantle helm, turbulance on Chest, RecallingFeathers on Gloves, Menacing on Pants, Scorn of the Earth Boots, Interdiction on amulet, Empowered Feathers on Ring 1, and FallingFeathers on ring#2. got those termpers in resolve stacks and vortex size and can suck up the whole screen for 150m hits. its great for hordes but mid/support-oriented in other activities.

Hmmm, I wonder if scourge has anything to do with it? My build is based on scourge into resonance procs and a creator that was running the unique with the hunter as a mobility skill and no scourge wasn’t seeing the issue.

Sometimes I feel like my feathers get absorbed by other players. But its hard to tell when seperately the aspect stops working altogether XD. Im using the Wushe Nak Pa glaive btw, as well as empowered feathers aspect and recalling feathers aspect.
No scourge? Then that’s not it.
I do think that it’s related to the change they made to stop you from recalling other players feathers, just wind up getting it stuck in the “off” state where every feather you spawn is considered someone else’s
E: what’s everyone’s cooldown read? Mine is showing 1.8s, which… Shouldn’t it be 0.5?
I took a ring apart that was .5s and my codex shows 1.8s
