Mudra's seem sluggish?

[ShaolinMike]

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.

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.

Doing anything Macro related with Ninjutsu is doing more harm than good. While it will prevent you from messing up the cast in the first place, you are losing DPS time just waiting on your macro to finish. The best you can do Macro wise is just Echoing your Dots with Dancing Edge, Shadow Fang, Mutilate and Huton recast. Even then, the Echos don't even show up when they're supposed to(at least based on my experience). Also, just for me though, I end up ignoring my Echos anyway since I'm focused on my casting and the fight.

That aside, the Mudras are a bit sluggish. For reasons everyone already mentioned. I've even cast a NInjutsu out quite fast before and the Mudras are sitting there saying "ready to go". Go to press them and they're suddenly on recast timer. That's not very healthy/ =/

Agreed and really using macros for any dps is a loss really and should be avoided. If some truly miss ques for a mundra it can be lag but like mentioned a large symbol pops up and there is a sort of "bong" sound each time so not sure how those can be missed. Only thing i will say is i sometimes hit the buttons to quickly and mess up a mundra but hey you get the comical Rabbit right, lol

It's not sluggish,

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.
