    Not effectively. Mudras have a 0.5 second CD, and macros have 1 second as the minimum wait time between skills.

    10 posts per page is only the default setting; it is bad, and you should feel bad if you haven't changed it.

    For people that play nearly all jobs (where mashing next ability has grown to muscle memory) I'd suggest making an individual macro for each mudra seal. Just a simple 2 line macro for each one (3 total).

    /micon "Ten"
    /ac "Ten"

    Do the same for Chi and Jin (separate buttons) replace your existing Ten, Chi, and Jin with these 3 macros.

    FF14 allows for "queueing" of raw abilities that you hit early (why people mash). This feature can cause issues for seals, which only have a 0.5s CD.

    Macros can not queue at all and only go off when the CD is ready. Mash each seal until you see it go off (like you would playing most jobs) and still get a 0.5s CD without any accidental double inputs/fails.

    Now my NIN plays like other jobs (muscle memory perspective) and I haven't had any accidental double seals since swapping to the macro'd versions.

    Not for everyone, but no one can control their latency - just sharing an alternative that has made NIN much better for me personally.

    Interesting. Does this make mudra casting feel more natural?

    I count myself among those who're handicapped because of latency. I'm curious to hear a few more people's results - what is the maximum amount of mudras you can successfully spam after each other until the time is up? Living in Austria I can only do 9, one of my friends from the USA can do 12 and another friend, from the UK, 11.
