Animation Cancelling

vicNBitis

Can we get an official word on this? Is "clipping" or animation cancelling something that was intended? Either way, is it something that we can expect to be a permanent part of the game?

There's a discussion below over in PVE-Skills-Weapons but I checked 9 pages of threads there and saw zero that had ZOS posts.

Thanks in advance.

I see there's already a big thread on this in Customer Support with a ZOS comment:

That's kinda like the whole "Soon (TM)"

They probably figured bash was 90% of the most noticeable clipping abuse going on and now everything's peachy again. I imagine it went something like....

Devs: "We really need to fix this animation cancelling problem."
Suits: "Why? What's going on."
Devs: "Look at this guy spamming Lava Whip and bash to cancel the animation. He's doing huge DPS."
Suits: "Let's just nerf Lava Whip and bash into the ground and people will stop doing that."
Devs: "But...Lava Whip is a DK skill!"
Suits: "Riiiight. Well, nerf bash and we'll keep our fingers crossed...."
