Mudra's seem sluggish?

Not sure if its just me or the way its intended to be, but does mudra casting seem sluggish to anyone else?

Added Argyles quote to clarify exactly about what I am talking about.

A4: This is something that is difficult for us to adjust because it’s hard to confirm as there are aspects that are related to the filter for how OS packets are being sent.

Unfortunately, it’s not something we will be address immediately, but we will continue looking into ways to alleviate the lag on the action.

How so?

It's not sluggish, it's just we're not used to skills being on a .5 second cooldown. It's JUST slow enough that you can screw it up if you try to spam press the combos. Also, it's makes macroing the combos inefficient, thereby keeping the intent of the whole Ninjutsu combo system.

Yes, but its hard to tell if its just me being slow or if its taking that tiny bit longer to start the animation, but I have definitely noticed it seem slower now and then. On the other hand I have also at times done it so fast the Mudra displays the wrong ninjutsu and will start the incorrect animation to only cancel itself.

I have noticed this. I also get the feeling it's smoother outside of dungeons than it is inside of dungeons.

This is the exact thing I am talking about. Sometimes its very smooth, but I can not 100% replicate it.

for the first time, i'm macroing a combo set in this game.

Casting Mudra can become painful if you're like me... spam button until it land.
So for now, i'm going with macro, for exemple:

/macroicon Suiton
/ac Chi <me> <wait>
/ac Ten <me> <wait>
/ac Jin <me> <wait>
/ac Ninjutsu <t>

It work very well, unless i'm lagging to much.

i did notice it too, you have time to time where the cd seems longer and some times shorter...

It's latency for sure. Latency fucks with mudras really badly. Ninja is the one class who even a small spike while casting mudras can result in a botched combo or taking much longer to come out.
