Doing fine with it on Xbox One as my Sorcerer.

Able to weave in Light/Med/Heavy attacks with most things pretty easily.

Am I stupid... ? What's a med(ium?) attack in ESO ??

Hold down the attack button, but let it go before your heavy attack is fully charged. It's also called a "partially charged heavy attack", etc.

What is animation canceling and I've heard people say it ruins the game and is exploiting, why would anyone want to do this?

Indeed ruins the game. A trip to (PC) Cyrodiil, will make you just leave the game. Too many macro users, and while I can do it (dead easy to assign a keyboard macro) I do not see the point. I have no inferiority problems with my real life to be honest.

Let them ruin the game. In the mean time went back to DAOC, and having fun PVPing there, where it requires proper skill and not cheating.

Macros are not the same thing as animation cancelling! A macro is a small program that does the work for you. It is cheating and is against the terms and conditions of the game. Animation canceling is simply manually timing your attacks to bypass the graphical bells and whistles that are placed over the underlying combat mechanics. Animation canceling is like knowing when to throw a fastball and when to throw a change up and getting the speed and timing right. Macros are like bringing a pitching machine out to the mound.

I can "WEAVE" an attack on a macro key on keyboard. Don't be naive. There are even videos how to do so.

It's funny how people think anything someone else does that they can't figure out in a multiplayer game has to be an exploit. I personally had figured out a very easy way to train myself to switch skill bars on the xbox with ease. Most have not figured it out I guess, does that mean I'm exploiting the game now??

One thing is for sure, it's not even close to how fluid it was on DCUO.

To all the people calling canceling an exploit, Go away, you know nothing.

You can do so, but it's against the TOS and will get you banned if anybody calls you out on it.

I play claw style on both sides of the controller. Reaction time to blocking and breaking CC is a little slower, but that will increase with time.

A custom PS4 controller with buttons on the bottom of the handle where your fingers grasp would be cool...like a hybrid between keyboard & controller...js...yeah I threw that out there...

How do you animation cancel?
