Maybe SE could consider making the mudra combos done client side and then the final ninjutsu sent to the server when you cast it...

i dunno if it's possible, but it's a way to solve the trouble, or at least to reduce the impact of the lag on it.
i feel SE didn't had any idea for really bring new mechanic to the ninja, they did use the fact that it was bring to the 2.4 as escuse for work less on it. same the fact to add positional, when the original concept, and for more of 6 month, it was not part of the jobs it' something showing that they don't know what to do. i feel it's the easy way to add something.

same i feel they more have do this for please other jobs than ninja. a lot of people was complaining that ninja was too easy to play because of the lack of positional and it was unfair. but, instead to work around this concept and develop a different gameplay, they simply choose to go with positional. they had a lot of way to work around the mudra lag. they talk of Quality of Life change, when i don't see any quality of life from this change.

the fact to make us able to refresh huton from weaponskill, is interesting but far from a quality of life. it will make the jobs more dull, since we will simply do more raiton... it don't bring any quality of life change. we did learn to live with this for more of 6 month, indeed we will gain a bit of dps. but the fact that ninjutsu is the shadow of what it must be is still true.

some quality of life change are:
- an hud that show which mudra was launched and saved into the server. like this when a mudra is not saved, we know it.
- the solution for mudra lag is know for long time.... allows the update from the server to be every 0.1 second... not 0.3 second.
- make the system more friendly, make the cd come out only when we press ninjutsu... not when we did loose the symbol, if we start a combo mudra, if we don't finish it... it's 20 second loose. if they don't want to fix the mudra lag, they need to make the system less punishing. because soo far we are the only jobs, having skill that can fail!

i'm sure a lot of people have idea that are really quality of life change... more than me.

for me the ninjutsu need to be reworked totally. not because of the mudra lag, but because it soo limited and don't allows it to be what it can be. imagine if the Cd was on the skill, like Raiton, when cast raiton, you do have 20 second of CD. but you can launch suiton behind, that will launch the 20 second cd of suiton. by adding individual CD, it will allows them to create skill of ninjutsu that can be used in combo with the weapon skill. like do a combo of 3 weaponskill and the last hit of the combo is a ninjutsu. it will be amazing to make this work like this, it will offer more posibility, indeed it will recquire more skill, but i prefer something harder, because it's more demanding for master our ninjutsu, than positional.
