Ninja and inconsistent Mudra input lag

[Moxas]

So this been going on for awhile.
i have 2.09 recast time on my weaponskills

When i go (WS ->Fuma Shuriken -> WS) it sometimes goes through the second weapon skill without clipping at all, and sometimes it clips really badly

So my question is, is this due to server, or my end? is this normal for everyone else?

It's probably latency. I also get this and the animation for Kaiton when trying to Suiton or for Fuma when trying for Raiton but then still having the game register it correctly.

You need really low latency to get the most reliable play out of NIN as it is far more dependent on latency than any other class. If you have any jitter in your connection, or even high ping/lost packets you're going to encounter a lot of mudra issues. Chances are it's not you or the server, just a distance/routing problem leading to higher latency. The servers are in Cali so unless you're near the West Coast you're ping isn't going to be all that great.

Isn't Pheonix in Chaos Datacenter and the Chaos servers are located in Frankfurt Germany?

I assumed she was NA. Ignore that part then. I didn't realize she was EU until you said something. Thanks for pointing that out.

Even then, you can still have problems. I live in California and still encounter latency issues to the server on the job.

This gets pretty annoying at times. Once at Shinryu ex while I was casting Huton the game registered me as casting Raiton before correctly registering Huton. So the Raiton animation goes off but there's no damage. And then my character begins auto attacking

Sometimes I have issues during the first pull of a fight. For some reasons it lags a bit, but no issues after the first though. I'm also on chaos, and while I'm leaving in France near the border of Germany, sometimes you can't help it ^^
It may also depends on the WS you used before and after fuma, some animations can be long to cancel, or if you move or something else.

Hi after some extensive testing I can confirm this is an issue at present.

My testing revealed that the issue is at its worst after changing cross role skills while within a duty. Doing so causes lag on several Ninja weaponskills.

Strangely, changing the cross roles back, fixes the issue. However I don’t have enough technical knowledge to explain why. I would think the devs are probably already aware of it though.

Edit: The is in relation to the OP post, not the subsequent issues people have posted about. In my opinion from my testing this is not a latency issue.

I hate it when I execute a jitsu like suiton or doton and the everything registered except the last mudra and I cannot execute it. I think did I forget to press the button? So, I press the last button once more and I bunny, NOW IT REGISTERS?!?!
