Changes are coming to animation canceling, a couple of ESO live shows back there was an animator on the show Gina asked him directly about animation canceling and he did say something was in the works but of course did not elaborate as usual.
My guess is either they have found a away to do get rid of it or if you cancel an animation you will not get full damage, but we will have to wait and see what it is.

The ESO live episode is #22 July 17th at about the 50min mark. On Twitch past episodes.


My questions if it is part of the game that is here to stay why is it not in the tool tips ?

The feeling I had coming away from that discussion was that they were not getting rid of animation canceling or changing the mechanics, but were instead re-working the animations associated with the canceling so they wouldn't be so awkward. The key statement I heard was they were addressing the "core problems with the way that it looks". They specifically said they didn't want to "break the game" with respect to something that was "so core to the way that combat is done".

For example, right now when an animation is canceled the one in progress just stops immediately, and the new animation starts as if from an idle stance. After re-working the animations, they could start the new action immediately, but with an animation that picks up from where the one being canceled left off. No change in the mechanics, but a significant improvement in "the way that it looks".
