Ninja: Can we get rid of the bunny please?

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

Yes, it's cute, it's funny, everyone loves to show it to their friends at first. . . But when you're in battle, and perhaps a lag spike hits or maybe you just make a human error in a clutch moment, that bunny is not so amusing, nor does it help in battle whatsoever. So can we be rid of it? At least in battle?

I'd settle for a functional, low damage attack even, or my attack at half potency over something completely useless.

[Ruri]

But then you get rid of an awesome FF6 reference!

[FyrmurlFloerasksyn]

But how else will you show off how bad the mudra lag is?

[Viridiana]

I'd be slightly less annoyed with it if not for the fact that you have to actually use the bunny or wait for it to time out before you can Kassatsu to try to fix your mistake. If it's still sitting on bunnies and you Kassatsu, well, you now have critical bunnies. Have fun.

[BristolRuss]

Nope, it's your cone of shame for messing up your Mudra.

This.

And Bristol, I did mention human error happens, but so does lag. Can't do anything about that sometimes. And to put it in perspective, if the Ninja's fighting style is built around weaving ninjutsu into physical DPS, then it's a vital part that shouldn't be completely invalidated if and when mistakes happen. Does a Dragoon or Monk completely have no ability to use the final skill in a combo if they don't complete it in sequence, or do they just not gain the additional damage or effects of it? Why then is this vital apsect of Ninja DPS completely unusable AND tied to a cooldown if and when things go wrong, regardless of the player's fault?

Only that some people didn't really mess it up but the mudra lag fucked you up.
I had that happen to me alot as EU player, but now I'm using WTFast and it works perfectly fine.
Yesterday I had my first raid where not a single Jutsu went wrong due to mudra lag.

I was refusing to use WTFast until I came to a point where ninja just wasn't fun for me anymore, because hey the lag strikes and you fuck a jutsu up, now you use Kassatsu and it fucks up again because once the mudra lag hits you it sticks for a while.
Here I'm not talking about bunnies but the server swallowing a mudra turning a 3 sign mudra into a 2 sign one or the animation for Huton going off, so the next thing to do it attack of course but oh now you have a Bunny on your Ninjutsu hotbar!

This. GCD Timers look alright, Animation starts but Bunny. Cone of shame back and forth but this one belongs to the devs.

[Slirith]

only job with a fail mechanic that has a longish CD. here's an idea, if monk/dragoons screw up a combo, they need to be put under a 20sec CD /sarcasm

[ClaireAbigail]

Oh please...if a monk screws up we have to build up gl stacks all over again. If we "lag" mid combo we get punished too. In other words, ninja is not a "special" class that's the only one that is punished by lag. Every class gets punishment from it. If you screw up your mudra due to human error, well that's your fault.
