Yeah, the animation missing is annoying, but not game breaking. Missing the text in the log is more of a pain. I have this a lot with PUP, since it's one of the few jobs still capable of skillchaining. I do a nice little maton > master skillchain, then swap back to tp gear, but if it's done too soon noone even sees the damage...
I think there's a fix to the blinking thing in the form of a 3rd party tool, but it's kind of odd (and potentially dangerous) you'd have to rely on that to fix a problem SE should have fixed years ago...
