Please do something about the Mudra lag!

[Noshpan]

This isn't even something unique to Mudra, it's simply more noticeable with Mudra.

I've had plenty of instances on Monk where my combo gets interrupted because, for example, I hit Twin Snakes and the animation goes half off before deciding I didn't actually hit it. Same thing happens with abilities too, I'll be weaving Jumps between GCDs and I'll go up before returning to my original place with the game telling me "No, sorry, you didn't actually use Jump".

So that's what it's called when I hit, say, my Shoulder Tackle and I hear the ability's sound but nothing happens?

That is typically from when a mob is moving. You use shoulder tackle, move to the mob, but no damage is dealt nor is the stun applied, but it doesn't go on CD. Yay free movement?

Yeah, the mudra lag is pretty bad at times. I've also regular ability lag too... combos that never follow through. Bunny ears really lowers the dps output.

The mudra lag really makes NIN unreliable as it can screw up and give you a 20 sec where you don't have Huton up and you don't even gain anything. I've had times where I did the mudras for Suiton but ended up with the first half of the animation being a raiton meaning I performed it right but then it says error that ninjutsu didn't activate and I've already started the other skills so i get a nice rabbit on top of my head instead of the suiton it was supposed to be.

A temporary solution would be to just implement a shorter cooldown if you mess up a combo -- like 5 seconds or something -- instead of it sharing the same 20 seconds whether you make the combo or beef it.

Mudras simply need to become active the second you press the button and not on an animation delay. That's the main problem this lag issue keeps cropping up. You see it in skills like Benediction, Hallowed Ground, and even positional attacks on melee DPS as well.

I've had times in the same fight where I'll have super smooth mudra input where I just tap all 3 in the order I need with very little time between them (since you can queue them the same was as other skills) and you'll see the circular cooldown animation on the icons never pauses so I can do it within one GCD, and then the next time I go to use ninjutsu there's a half second pause between activations, which really slows everything down. It would be nice if the dev team could fix it.

I'm glad I'm not the only feeling this way about the mudra. I think I'll give up nin for now, it was my intention to make it my main. But whenever that mudra screws up because I use the mudra too fast, even after I heard the last ding. Reeeaallllyyy ticks me off! I'd be more subtle with my hate towards it if I was able to use my weapon skills in between mudra. But no. Guess I'll wait for the new jobs and see how messed up they are.

My main fear is the addition of a 4th mudra, or any more mudra combinations in general being added in the expansion, without the current issue being addressed.

I play on PS4 and I came upon another Ninja on the PC, and I saw how quickly he could put those mudras together and I tried to do them as fast but it wouldn't let me even attempt it cause of the cooldown.
