Mudra's seem sluggish?

[KariArisu]

Hopefully the DEVs give us an update. SOMETHING needs to be done. NIN is literally the only job that suffers majorly from latency issues. Not to mention, some instances are worse than others for this case...

VPNs hardly help, and we should not need assistance from a third party to play a job properly. Every other modern MMO on the market knows how to handle client-server interactions, why can't SE?

[Omni-Vocational_Ryan]

Just give ninjas a trait "inner focus" or whatever you wanna call it that allows ninjas to weave hand signs while still doing combos, then latency isn't gonna be an issue of you can keep the Dps coming instead of trying to shove a 1.5 second combo in a 2 second recast window.

Posted a question on the live letter thread in the hopes if it will not be addressed here, maybe we can get an update in the live letter.

Please support by liking it. Will also put link on main post.

I would like to point out to all those suggesting we can "weave" mudras during actions, it is NOT a solution. Given that you need to reapply your huton every 70 sec, and you have 3 times 20 sec CD in there, you need to input all your mudras in 10 seconds -- most likely 3 + 3 + 2 = 8 of them, 10 if using kassatsu. That means you can't wait 2 sec for each mudra.

Just put the mudras off server. Who cares if someone cheat by doing a script for instant mudra ? Its going to be a corner case and it isnt even that impactful (and way less cool). Just check the ninjutsu with whatever input you have locally used then.

Also would allow us to throw ninjutsu like cool ninjas do -- like they do it for npcs actually, and as it is done in what is, like it or not, the most popular mudra based jutsu representation, naruto.

Imagine Sasuke being like during fight :
"katon ! shlunk... goukyakou ! ... shlunk... no ! shlunk... jutsu ! ..."

No, the whole thing is done in a fucking second, its super fluid, and it rocks. Same goes for the npcs in the game. Yet whenever you are doing it, it seems like you are a 5 year old learning to do jutsus for the first time of his life. May seem minor but it really lower my pleasure of playing the class.

Not seeing the issue here. You can begin prepping a mudra 10-12s after a jutsu which is more than enough time to fit mudras inbetween 2-3 GCDs with an extra 5 second window to activate it.

Not unless they uncouple the Mudra CD from the Ninjutsu CD As it stands, if Ninjutsu is on cool down, so are the Mudra.

Unless I'm missing something. What people are suggesting is for the exact system we have in place with weaving. Which would suggest mudras remain .5s GCDs meaning they are never on CD.

But you can't start weaving until the Ninjutsu CD is up, is what I'm saying. Because when you use any Ninjutsu ability, all three mudras go on CD too. So even with weaving, you'd still have to weave 3/3/2 within 10 seconds.

Bump for great justice -- The issue is still unadressed, so this need visibility.

[Riepah]

I'm still hoping that mudras will feel the way they were supposed to feel one day. I'm not holding my breath, however, looking at how even RMT and spam issues remain entirely unaddressed.
Maybe Heavensward will fix it magically. If it doesn't, I don't think they're ever going to do anything about it.
