That is some damn fine animation canceling! Awesome! And that death walk at the end haha.

Wollust

The animation canceling of wrecking blow is just broken af.

KenaPKK

10/10 afk on mount baits.

Edit: LOL that sorc Overloaded himself to death.

Otherwise looks like your typical stam DK and broken WB animation cancels...

Great plays man. I just wish StamDK was as easy as you show it. Unfortunetly, unlike in your video, 99% of the time you have to deal with flare/jav/rd spammers in the back which make this playstyle totally worthless.

Poxheart

Very entertaining.

PrinceFabious

10/10 for mastery of the art of wrecking blow.
The thing about your vids that I love is that you dont just have clips of certain kills. You actually leave the clip running till you die.

I like how it's not just ganking now. Very entertaining.

Bdawwg

forzajuve212

This just shows how broken and bad for the game animation cancelling really is.

You mean because it's absurdly easy to do this and he didn't die at all? Right...

It's just a matter of muscle memory, in other words, practice, it doesn't involve that much skill at all once you set it down, it comes naturally.

Animation cancelling is borderline exploitative as it involves vastly reducing cast times and ability queue which is not how the game is designed to fuction and therefore not intended, it's only tolerated by ZoS because it's a hard issue to resolve and so easy to reproduce that everyone is doing it.
It potentially doubles your burst damage on other players. It stops the animations and therefore reducing counterplay on the recieving end. It makes your character look like a *** smuck while performing actions. It chashes and destroys new or unexperienced players that can't really react to what's going on. It gives a significant advantage over those that don't exploit this. I could go on, and on, and on, but you should get the point by now.

Animation cancelling is such an old school, old fashioned issue that no longer happens in current gen MMOs (unless specifically designed for it, like in BDO), that I'm baffled as to why it hasn't been fixed yet.

"Dieing" and hard to perform (which is not) is not a convincing argument. Pick another one.

EDIT: In your signature you say the combat team is incompetent, yet you defend animation cancelling, interesting.

RoamingRiverElk

Animation canceling is mostly a great mechanic that makes combat smooth. It's interesting that you however would take a general sentence from someone's signature and try to twist it to fit to apply to anything, as though literally nothing about the game was not functioning well .

And on whether animation canceling was intended... Parts of it were intended even from the start or you couldn't cancel anything in the first place. When it comes to animation canceling for dps and whether that's intended - they were going to implement an update to make animation canceling look better, not to remove it. They specifically wanted to keep the functionality the same. So yes, the functionality is intended now.

Surprised nobody else has noticed he is not using Vigor.

Tsar_Bogatyr

I stopped watching when you used wrecking blow + take flight on a VR1. Come on, why don't you post a video of you fighting 2 or 3 good or decent players? Because you'd get *** on. Same with Kodi, Sypher, KingRichard, etc. Cheese a build, fight bad players, upload to youtube.

Yeah.. right, oh it's a V1 I'll give him a chance, yet if he had half the chance he'd destroy me with any means necessary. He fought plenty of V16s. What's he going to do just use light attacks against him because he's a V1? I'm not even V16 and I couldn't care less if they want to wrecking blow and take flight me, I'm in PVP after all.

I SHM at all these cynics who bemoan these videos degrading them because of the supposed ineptitude of the players, the creator used X particular skill, or now all of a sudden animation cancelling is an exploit to be deplored.

Where are your videos? There is more skill involved in this 10 minute video than I bet these criers could muster from 4 months of footage from their harddrive.

Things that require practice and muscle memory don't require skill?

Lemme just go tell that to anyone who is good at anything....sure glad you pointed that out for us. Now we can stop being good at things because what's the point, they don't actually require skill.
