Mudra's seem sluggish?

I too experience this, or when I press it and it does the animation on my screen and then I'll press cast ninjutsu button and it doesn't cast, while I continue my combo I will have the rabbit symbol in my cross hot bar because I continued my rotation. It would be nice if you didn't make it so the rabbit comes up if you continued your combo after your mudra chant is complete. Like after Jin- Chi -Ten if you pressed ninjutsu and it didnt cast. and you continue with spinning edge it wouldn't make the ninjutsu a rabbit.

I'm having a problem with this too. It's like hotbar lag that only affects mudras/ninjutsus. It's really annoying because I'm the ninja in my final cool group. A screw up from nudes lag can cause my dps to drop significantly. Especially if I need to refresh huton.

Gahhh...mudra lag not nudes lag...wtf autocorrect?!

There is lag and not only on mudras it started to appear on other skills (like combo disappearing or you press a skill and it doesn't activate) since 2.4 :/ I'm glad I am not the only one with this.

Maybe the hamsters on the servers gave up?

Go to a housing ward and use Huton. Tap your Ninjutsu at roughly 75% the way through cast and they will queue allowing you to use your next Mudra and fire off Ninjutsu roughly between GCDs easily enough. Go into any instance, engage an enemy, and try the same thing. You'll notice that it doesn't work. Furthermore, if there's any lag on your end it will cancel the second Mudra entirely & ruin the cast unless you were delaying the third Mudra for the new Ninjutsu icon.

This isn't an issue with other jobs because you're A) Weaving instant abilities between 2.5 second GCD & B) allowed to mash the button until it's time for the next ability queue.

The easiest fix for this would be to allow us to weave Ninjutsu between abilities with a 1 second CD. Outside of that you better move to Montreal or Japan if you want to execute Ninjutsu perfectly between GCDs.

I sent a ticket about it a day ago. Glad I found this thread now.
Its indeed a very sluggish thing, I've been suffering from it for a while and it causes me to lose dps and to execute the wrong Mudras, or even Bunny sometimes.

I sadly haven't had time to read thread, to see if we are all having the same issues.Mine- are not macro'd(No difference)

I know various things that could be causing it, mostly animation lock. Regardless of even that issue, they feel clunky feel bad to press. It's even worse when they activate out of order. Not only that but they should be clearer, the Kanji animation should light up on the color of the Mudra, so I know exactly which one I'm pressing. I'm sorry, I can read em if I actually payed attention but its absurd. Sometimes I press Ten Chi, and only Chi activates but I'm not sure if it's Chi or Ten that activated at first glance, there's no counter. They don't cancel animations so make em feel extra clunky, unless I activate them after only Spinning Edge/Mutilate as they have the shortest animations. Regardless, Ninjutsu also don't feel good to activate after the mudra, the mudra needs to disappear for ninjutsu to activate because of the 0.5 GCD it shares with the mudra.

Yeah, I've had multiple incidents where my Mudra will visibly animate on the screen for a couple of seconds, but then not register.

I am not talking about double taps here. Say I want to do Ten->Chi->Jin. On the keyboard (or gamepad, doesn't matter), I will input Ten, and then queue up the Chi button within a quarter or half second, before the 'ninjutsu cooldown' has actually finished. Ten will register on my screen, play the audio cue, but then the animation will actually cancel and cause Chi to occur first - the game server totally ignores my input for Ten even though the button registered and the client said that the action was completed.

Essentially the action queue in the game will actually allow the next mudra in the queue to totally overwrite the first mudra to input, usually randomly and based on lag. The result is that you really can't do a 'proper' half-second-per-step ninjutsu, meaning more complex ninjutsus will either actually cause you to enter a small (but noticable) GCD deficit depending on lag.

I've even had moments where the jingle for casting the ninjutsu goes off, along with a portion of the animation, and then whatever weaponskill from my dagger chain I queue next goes in and the Ninjutsu itself is ignored...leaving me with a damn rabbit icon staring back at me. Not good.
