What's your favorite "trick"?

farrier_ESO

What trick do you get the most use out of?

Is it using an instant-cast ability to interrupt attack animations, so you can spam hits faster?

Is it charging at critters (rats, squirrels...), so you can move around faster?

Is it Night's Silence stacking with vampire sneak and NB's concealed blade, letting you sneak crazy-fast?

Otherwise, what other snazzy tricks are there, to push the envelope and get the most out of the game?

Im a tank with a Off sPec fire mage build with a dress to swap out into.

When Im grinding packs I switch to S+B (in my dress) Drop a volcanic rune - Charge - Talons then switch to stick and impulse the mothers down with Flame of Oblivion etc .

I do it because it is fun
the dps is not much more prolly a little less but you dont take much damage

Like the old trick of Casting Blazing Shield and Spell Symmetry a few times in a row to 'store up' damage (no one around it does not dump the damage) then charging an group of players and have Blazing Shield proc for 5k damage....

Just glad most of the 'cheese' tricks are now fixed

Triple shields and light armor users with the heavy armor ability are pretty "snazzy."

I`ve never been one to even look for exploits , let alone use them if i happen to find them.

For example , i`ve learned about block casting here on the forums and i`ve never used it even after learning about it .

But i have gotten pretty good at timing attacks and making them land one right after the other very quickly with my greatsword and i only use one ability for every 5-6 swings which allows me to save stamina.

And no i`m not using animation canceling unless i need to block mid swing.

Favorite trick is double critting 2 enemies for 3x sneak damage who are standing close to each other with backs turned or from the side using heavy attack while sneaking with 2h sword (passive will crit both targets)

Being legit is cool and all, But it is not an exploit if its part of the game mechanics and the devs have let it go on for months.

Animation cancellling is a prejudicial term - it implies something wrong in what we do.

All it is is weaving in abilities so that you get it as soon as it is available and faster than your latency shows you. It is as old as the hills.

Nothing wrong at all... Until they say so hehhehee

Block casting is as old as beta any good tank will know this when you block and use an ability be it defensive or offensive. It still costs you stamina and block casting while AOE is good - movement is slower and once Stamina runs dry you take heaps of damage but they should all be dead by then

Yeah im`not 100% against doing it simply because it does require a certain skill as a player in order to use it effectively . You need a good focus and good timing to use animation cancelling so whether some see it as an exploit or not , it`s ok in my book. Though i`m still somewhat undecisive as to whether it is or isn`t an exploit since it was probably not intended by the devs.

Still , i have a hell of a whole lot more respect for those who go for animation cancelling then i do for all those AoE spammers.

Focus and good timing is something AoE spammers will never even begin to comprehend. I don`t wanna sound like a jerk by judging anyone`s playstyle but i`m just unable to feel any kind of respect for the word ``spamming `` which includes those who have made it their way of life.

Blocking things behind me by holding a stick in front of me is a pretty neat trick.
