Client Side Mudras

[Gardthorne]

I didn't have an issue with mudra lag pre-3.0 except in extreme cases where my internet was crapping out. After the 3.0 launch it's become very noticeable though. It's not unplayable, but I'm also no longer optimal and that really isn't acceptable. Feels very sloppy.

So mudra lag was addressed in the live letter this morning and the answer was pretty much: "git gud".

Apparently the issue isn't the 4 round trips my ninjutsu commands have to make. No no.. the problem is that I'm not used to Armor Crush existing.

YES THAT MUST BE IT.

Been thinking about this more, and have come to the conclusion that SE will never fix the Mudra lag. Instead, they will apply bandaid fixes, i.e. Armor Crush. So, since the Mudra lag will always exist, why not apply another bandaid(one that will actually make more sense). Lets have the Bunny(appears when an incorrect Mudra sequence is sent to the server) reset or atleast lower our Ninjutsu cooldown time by 5-10 seconds so we can try to cast a correct Mudra faster and not be punished because either A)packet loss, or B) server thought we entered something else.

Yeah, SE isn't going to fix it. Might as well quit Ninja if it's going to piss you off a lot. I already did. It's friggin stupid.

Thief class when?

I like where you going with this, but sadly I do not think this will ever happen. SE has stated that the Rogue class is also a "Thief". It already has many of the skills that a Thief class would have(when looking at other Final Fantasy games).

Well, I'd it expected it to be implemented as an alternative rogue advanced class. You could turn into either a ninja or a thief and have the rogue abilities on both. This would replace mudras with whatever thief stuff made sense.

The same could be done for all classes. Honestly I don't know why there is only 1 advanced class per base class. Why even call them something different if you have no choices?

Hmm, well they could add it as another Job option for Rogue, like how Arcanist has two job options. I like the cut of your jibb

They don't want to do this. That's why they opted not to add classes for the new jobs. Yoshi has stated regret for splitting arcanist into two jobs since the release of 2.1 so it's unlikely that this would happen.
