Client Side Mudras

[Core1019]

I don't play ninja, but it sounds like a lot of the problems mentioned here apply to lots of things. For example BLM fire 1 AF refresh lagging out fire 4, meaning can only fit 1 in instead of 2.

Tbh there's a LOT of things in this game I wish were client-side, but I don't see it happening, unfortunately.

That is actually on a whole other issue.

The issue is how they chose to deal with the aesthetics of skills.
The action is calculated (damage, buff, debuff etc) upon connecting with the mob (such as the fireball hitting the monster, or a certain point in the animation such as an explosion). It's hard to use BLM as an example but have you noticed the mob's HP doesn't go down until the fireball or explosion from flare/fire 3 actually goes off?


The most glaring example (which is PLD so I am not sure if you would have experienced this) is when a PLD uses Hallowed Ground, however dies during the animation (ie the buff doesn't get applied until the shield around the PLD is shown in the animation). The cooldown on Hallowed still activates however.


Honestly the main reason that skill rolback is more of a problem for NIN is because mudra CD's are so low that it's glaringly obvious. In addition to that, mudras are the heart of NIN's damage, and failed mudra usage is crippling.
