2.5 and mudra lag

From Europe we get a lot of lag too and Vpn you get a little bit better but not as intended i guess. Maybe they should put the attack speed buff on rogue skills at least? (working like heavy trust for DRG)

I don't believe that I'm going to say this but... they could trust the client with the combo and then only verify when they hit the finisher. That should fix the failures.

I wish they would just separate the various mudras and make them each their own ability, so I dont have to worry about Mudra lag anymore. It almost always fails because I either have a varying latency, or I click the actions too fast for one of them to register.
Tried a macro to stop this, it tends to miss an action everytime...

Just make each mudra its own action and be done with it.

I don't play ninja for this exact reason. Rather have a monk honestly.

The murdra lag is brutal, and definitely hurts a lot if you miss a huton or suiton in a DPS check, honestly though, I agree with several other's points...make these GCD skills without needing to do the combination of keys, but have them have interlocking CDs like they currently do to retain balance. Yes, it takes away from the flavor of a Ninja and combining seals, but until the lag is figured out, it is hurting us more than helping.

Not only are mudras lagging, but I'm getting more instances of Kassatsu resetting my mudras and then the guaranteed crit failing to take effect on the subsequent ninjutsu (instead, the Kassatsu buff stays on until it naturally times out).

Playing ninja has become an exercise in frustration more often than not lately. I'm actually half glad Raiton got nerfed and I can mostly ignore it with the lag I'm having.

It's a shame the Ninjas most Iconic features has lead to it's biggest downfall as well. It's even worse when it's not because it's too hard or complex of a mechanic it's that it can't actually stand up to the proper intended use (Quick input)
