The Ninja Superthread

Making mudra client side would not enable one to do raiton 30 times, not even twice. While one button macros would be a thing most definitely you have to wait 20s before your next mudra and you still have to wait for the GCD to come back to do anything so it would not matter. If you are fine with a laggy mudra system, that is fine, but most NIN are not happy with the system.

Then don't be happy with it, but understand why it's in place. It would be SO easy to make a script that would just send raiton or w/e mudra you want, and it can't be capped on the server-side or you get a worse problem where the server just decides to tell you no and then you drop huton, gg your dps.

i feel like we're the only ones who think this

I just feel like acting like its the end-all to Ninja DPS and the whole reason Chloro Cradle does his rediculous numbers is completely and 100% on his lack of mudra delay instead of, i don't know, maybe being skilled and having a really good gearset is the wrong way to think of it. As someone who is in a quite high-level guild and who gets messages/tells all the time i do dedicate a lot of my to knowing the class and understand the deep-down reasoning for certain openers and skill usages that I'm pretty sure It can only come down to gear at this high level of thinking.

I've narrowed it down to the reason i don't get his numbers, optimized strats aside is basically just my gearset, and to a smaller extent, the fact my mudras do have a slight delay. I get 14 mudras in the 5 second window on a good day, he gets 15 mudras, that's barely noticeable. It's coming down to a shitty gearset at this point, though there's not much else I can do unless i feel like buying some crafted pieces and dropping millions on melds just for "dat parse". I'm not trying to say i'm the best or anything like that at all; I'm just saying that once you know your 1 2 3 4 5 6 rotation, your ninjutsu priority, and how do deal with mechanics optimally, it literally comes down to partly lag ( minimally) and largely your gearset. There's nothing else to the classes in this game when you talk about it at a high level like this.
