Mudra's seem sluggish?

A simple balance change that would make mudra lag more bearable would be to "refund" some of the cooldown upon a failed jutsu, e.g. if we get bunny and we don't use it, reduce the cooldown for the next Ninjutsu by 5 or 10 seconds. That way we don't get punished so hard (e.g. 20 seconds without Huton is disastrous) for something that's out of our control.

It definitely is annoying having this mudra lag. Sometimes i can do really nice damage. Other times it's... not as good D:

Looking at Mudra use, a thought strikes me.
Wouldn't it work if Mudra didn't share cooldowns, but instead had individual, very short cooldowns? No Ninjutsu seems to involve two repeating Mudra, so something like a one second cooldown (keeping the half second cast time) on each individual Mudra? It could allow people with even poor connections to button spam one Mudra, start its single cooldown, have a half-second grace period to hit the next one, it casts, half a second to move to the third, and then cast the Ninjutsu. Even with a Kassatsu rush, the Mudra being down for one second in theory should get back by the time the next chain is beginning.

If they did that, they would be shooting themselves in the food if they wanted to add more mudras that did involve 2 of the same button.

If, then. It's a suggestion for what's out now. If they wanted to add more Ninjutsu, then a fourth Mudra would be another alternative anyway.

Completely random and I don't know if this will work for everyone but hit your Mudras to the beat of "Hot, Cross, Buns". It works amazing for me xD The Mudras flow nicely, outside and in duties :3

Well it does for me, its an extremely noticeable difference. Your mileage will vary I guess.

I don't play on PS3 but I can tell you that while it does gimp you in some ways anyone who tells you that playing on a PS3 won't allow you play a job well is full of it. Plenty of people can do well on PS3. If you like Ninja, stick with it.

And if you dont want to be engaged on the top End Game content (as for now, bahamuth T10-13) then you don't have to worry much, you can handle some lag and still have fun.

As i'm not in PS3, i can't tell how it's going in end game.
