    No him being VR14 probably on console and with a huge cp advantage and maybe a lot of playing experience is what made him kill 37 noobs.

    I suggest searching for eso light attack weaving and animation canceling on youtube for many video tutorials about how to do it and what it is.It will be much more informative than people trying to describe it through writing.

    Also animation canceling = good.

    v14 + more champion points + more experience.

    Its not a fair fight, some time will need to pass before odds even out.

    animation canceling is just a small factor of whats making that person wipe so many people

    but in a basic explination, animation canceling is where you spaz the block button inbetween ability casts+light attacks to instantly cast and throw light attacks into really quick spasms... yes they flail around alot when they do it, really un-immersive
    and saddly its "a feature". more like lazy programmers who CBA to fix it.
    PLEASE REPLY TO ME WITH @dsalter otherwise i'm likely to miss the reply if its not my own thread

    Animation cancelling isn't a bad thing. It's just one of those things you should learn about in this game. I know people that don't use it and still have great dps. Still, using it right will give you a bit more dps.

    As was said, ZoS putting VR14's who know the game against new people who are still learning isn't very fair. What you should do is find one of those VR14's in your alliance and get them to help you.
