    About the hitting positionals while executing mudras thing, let me tell you why its not an issue. You may not realise it but dragoon is in a similar position when it comes to that issue, executing a jump roots you in place, so it means you literally cannot execute a positional and a jump at the same time. So what do drg's do? They go for the positional at a point in their rotation where they dont have to jump in preparation.

    It goes for every job that has infrequent positonals, say every 5th attack you do has a positional, that means you have a window of 5 GCDs to move to the opponents flank or rear, so you can just choose one where you dont have to do a jump or in NINs case a ninjutsu and prep for the positional.

    Isn't it funny, then, that they're addressing the jump lock, and making DRG more mobile in Heavensward, hmm?

    Jump locks get reduced because they tend to kill you, not because of positionals.

    That's nice, I sure hope they'll address NIN's Execution lock as well, then.
