remembering mudras?

[Skyl1n3]

This. Either you're a ninja, or you're not.

lol, Ninja's been out for not even a week and you're already taking it to heart? xD

Also to those saying not to use those Macros, I don't use them either for reasons stated, but the OP was asking if they can be Macro'd, and they can, but not advisable.

[aabe]

For the love of god do not do this, mudras are on a 0.5sec cooldown, this is the same as advising people to put combos in macros with <wait.3> between them.

But as it was stated before, 3214 haste, 1234 SUTA, 124 single target nuke. After a while you get it down to muscle memory and you don't even think about the individual actions.

Actually, the reason this is done is to account for possible lag. Obviously the macro will still screw up for a crafting macro if you lagspike massively, but with a bit of latency issues a 2 seconds wait on touches/synthesis means you're gonna skip skills when you have latency issues.

cant say ive ever seen anyone try to macro any type of rotation to be lagproof. trust me, i've played wow for like 7 years. the only people making rotation macros were making them to put their entire rotation on one button and were promptly laughed out of their respective class' forum. =\

i'm pretty sure the intent behind it is to failproof their ninjutsu, even though I could see how it could be used that way if you had a bad connection. but you're probably dealing with much bigger problems than mudra lag if you're trying to play with a connection that bad.

but long story short? macroing rotations is rarely optimal and almost as rarely reasonable in contrast to the drawback

You can do any combination aslong as the final hand sign for the mudra is the one you want. Come up with placing them in an order on your hotbar/controller that works for you and like Cadwgan said, the rest is simply muscle memory after you spend an afternoon casting them.

EDIT: Also dont macro them its going to take you twice aslong to cast them opposed to manual input just for the sake of being lazy.

Using a game pad, you config X(ten) - Y(chi) - B(jin) and A to cast ninjitsu

Do you want Huton? B - Y - X and press A
Raiton? X - Y - A
Suiton? X - Y - B and press A to execute.
Doton? X - B - Y and press A
Hyoton? X - B and A
Katon? Y - X - A

It's like a fight game

Don't try to learn all the combinations. As you can see, less Huton and Katon, all the ninjitsu start with Ten, so learn 6 combs is more better than 12.

Katon is nice because the opener is Chi and his colour is orange.
I want fire? use the orange button and blue
I want a lightning? use the yellow button and orange.

i tried macros just to give it a try......and is a no-go , if u press the macro too soon u are screwed because u will avoid the 1 mudra and u wasted your CD and posible cast a spell u dont want to cast and 20s without huton will hurt your dps , u will need to waste next CD on it ...ect ect

learn to ninja or dont bother playing the job (on party) , we already have enough with drg not jumping (or doing it wrong ) and bards that dont even know what ballad means ....

I am using a controller as well, I placed the mudras on my 2nd crosshotbar right side. B (Ten) A (Chi) X (Jin), Y is Kassatsu, while Y in 1st crosshotbar is Ninjitsu, I found that this works better for me.
Once setup is more in remembering which direction to press the buttons and the final mudra for the Ninjitsu you want to use.

B > A is Raiton, go opposite is Katon
B > A > X is Suiton go opposite is Huton
X > B > A is Doton
A > X is Hyoton

I am only remembering the direction to press rather than what I have on the buttons, as this is faster and I do not have to look at the crosshotbar much.

is there a reasn do all that ninjutsu? I thought huton saiton and ration are the only once worth using? may b the fire AOE one on big pull. so 4 ninjutsu to remember which isn't so bad. doton might b in question since its a Dot move which always a dps increase. I still know nohing about nin so correct me if im wrong.

There is no reason to use all since for single target the only one you use is Huton, Suiton and Raiton, Katon and Doton for AOE, Hyoton doesn't seems to have much use, I never actually use it in any dungeon lol. But still it's good to be able to remember them all in the off chance that you might actually need them.

[Butcherboy]

ill prolly stick with huton saiton raiton and doton and figure out how to weave them in a rotation properly. I see this job as becoming hrder than mnk.
