ever since orsinium dropped i cant seem to have one fair fight in pvp. ill see the the animation for 1 move and then die. when i check the recap it shows that i got hit with 3 or 4 skills that i never saw. just earlier today, i saw one wrecking blow animation but during that time i actually got hit with 2 , a heavy attack and then an executioner. its worse with bow, i saw him pull back on the bow and i assumed he would animation cancel so two hits would have been acceptable but instead it was a poison injection, heavy attack, heavy attack(dual wield ), focused aim, poison injection. is this just crazy animation canceling from another world? or lag? because its pretty damn frustrating. i want to attribute it to server side lag because i have 50 mb/s internet but im not sure if maybe i just dont know how to cancel animations like they do

    You can hide a heavy attack inside of the Wrecking Blow animation, and then you can hide the Executioner animation with a bash!

    Don't you love these game mechanics?

    No. What looks like a Wrecking Blow and a Bash CAN actually be a Wrecking Blow/Heavy Attack/Executioner/Bash but it is NOT possible to be hit with two wrecking blows at the same time from the same character.

    Basically, you can clip heavy/light attacks with abilities, and you can clip abilities with bash. All the cool kids are doing it now.
