Mudra's seem sluggish?

this is why ill just go with /wait 1 macros, no screw ups when finally get up to ninja fever levels

Doing anything Macro related with Ninjutsu is doing more harm than good. While it will prevent you from messing up the cast in the first place, you are losing DPS time just waiting on your macro to finish. The best you can do Macro wise is just Echoing your Dots with Dancing Edge, Shadow Fang, Mutilate and Huton recast. Even then, the Echos don't even show up when they're supposed to(at least based on my experience). Also, just for me though, I end up ignoring my Echos anyway since I'm focused on my casting and the fight.

That aside, the Mudras are a bit sluggish. For reasons everyone already mentioned. I've even cast a NInjutsu out quite fast before and the Mudras are sitting there saying "ready to go". Go to press them and they're suddenly on recast timer. That's not very healthy/ =/

That's not how it'd work though. It isn't the fact there's a cooldown that makes it check the server, the game does that for every skill regardless of wether or not they have a cooldown. It'd still check regardless because using Ninjutsu puts all your mudras on cooldown. What you're describing is what would happen if the mudras were done client side like I suggested. There's also the animation lock thing, you couldn't just input all 3 mudras in a row regardless because it'd need to wait for the animation to play(which is also why you can't pop 2-3abilities during GCD even with 15ms ping, they all have inherent animation locks, and that includes mudras). Having them client side though would let them queue properly and always perform at max speed regardless. Removing the cooldown would still make them act weird when you get a lag spikes, cancel each other if you press too fast and you still wouldn't be able to input them instantly due to animation locks.

I feel like there is a rhythm that you have to follow. It's kinda like Tekken for me in the sense that you cant just mash out the combo as fast as possible, you have to hit the buttons with a certain flow for it to come out properly. I really think its just a matter of practice makes perfect. Find your flow!

One of the worst offenders is Ninjutsu when it realizes its not about to cast the right ability, and switches for you at the last moment.

I've seen the start of the Shuriken skill so many times right before it realizes there is a problem and switches to Raiton.

As many have stated Macros are a waste and not 100% reliable across the board.
- Wait being whole secs.
- Server side checks.
- Your connection.

I tested a few macros, especially Raiton as its the most common where I saw the delay from Fuma to Raiton in ST besides between Mudra and it was 50/50 being Raiton or Fuma going off. Manual input is the way to go.

My post had nothing to do with macros.

I know, I quoted your scenario as it was relevant to macro failures from my experience.

Edited main post to clarify exactly what I was talking about by sluggish.

Agreed and really using macros for any dps is a loss really and should be avoided. If some truly miss ques for a mundra it can be lag but like mentioned a large symbol pops up and there is a sort of "bong" sound each time so not sure how those can be missed. Only thing i will say is i sometimes hit the buttons to quickly and mess up a mundra but hey you get the comical Rabbit right, lol

mudras are a good idea implemented poorly.
