Any aspiring Astrologian players for Heavenswawrd?

I intend to level one but I hope the card mechanics are nothing like ninja mudras. If they are, skill lag will make this class unplayable.

:/ but Ninja isn't an unplayable class. I don't know how prevalent of an issue skill lag seems to be, but I've never had any problems with it as a PS4 player. Even when I was on a PS3 I had no issues with skill lag.

Go take a look at the DPS forums and you'll see a massive thread just about mudra lag. Recast time is supposed to be 0.5 seconds for each mudra but for some reason or another, it frequently goes on to 1s or 1.5s in duties for the next mudra to register. Sometimes, it will register the mudra clientside but not the server so you have cases where you go 3-2-1 for Huton and then lag skips over 2 and gives you Katon so your only choice left is to do 2 again for Doton. It has even been shown that if you have any sort of mudra lag, using Fuma Shuriken instead of Raiton results in next to no DPS loss because that second mudra isn't eating into your GCD. Now imagine a similar problem for a healer, where timing is of the utmost importance.

I want this class to be my main come 3.0. Although lots of people speculate that the card system = mudra, i am unsure of this. It may be something along the lines of buffs/debuffs that are triggered from the celestial card deck (is that what it was called?) and the main healing abilitites kept seperate from any random mechanics (if indeed the card mechanics are random).

Whelp, I guess that bites for other people, but I've literally never had a problem with this and wasn't aware it was a problem. Thanks for the heads up!
