Ninja, The problem job and some ideas to change it.

[Dzian]

But then you'd lose ninjutsus over the whole fight because it implies you delay each ninjutsu by at least 4-5sc.
This would just make people unable to weave them inbetween the same GCDs playing sub-optimally.

Only real way to make it fair to everyone would be to have it client sided but then the way this game works it'd open to a lot of cheating.

No you wouldnt because if you read the rest of my post you'd see I said about making the mudras an instant recast or something while keeping ninjutsu on it's current 20 second timer.

So in doing this for example. Let's say your in a fight and you've just pressed ninjutsu and thrown raiton at a boss. So now your ninjutsu button is on a 20 second Cooldown like normal but your mudra buttons wouldn't be on cooldown.

So now when your ninjutsu cool down is at 7 or 8 seconds you could start pre-emptively weaving your next mudras between gcds ready for when ninjutsu comes off Cool down..

The result is you would still be throwing out ninjutsu at exactly the same rate every 20 seconds or so.

To be honest you'd could actually be throwing ninjutsu out fractionally faster as you could press the ninjutsu button the instant it comes off cool down instead of that small delay while you enter the mudras currently.

You would eliminate so many latency issues if mudras worked this way.
