    Happens to me as well.
    Pair it with lags and fps drops and this game becomes turn based rpg.

    Please ZOS, could we get a little update on this if it is intended, what is happening etc? It hurts a lot of the people I play with because of ping issues.
    even those without ping issues are getting it

    I really wonder why they try to force any changes to animations, it was perfect before and nobody complained.
    All fights feel really awkward now because I end up not casting skills sometimes. I block cancel everything and sometimes my char just blocks instead of using the skill because I used a skill before and even thou I cancelled it's animation, it still seems to run in the background. I want my flawless rotation back! :P

    Probably one of the worst changes ZOS has made, I don't even know what went through their minds when making this. No one wanted it, what a joke. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes 3-6 months to "fix" this.

    Yea, this is what worries me. It could also be one of those things they look at and go 'Its too hard to fix. Its a feature now'...

    ZOS, please keep in mind that broken LA weaving invalidates a lot of hard work you put into overhauling weapon enchants.

    My rotation is so awkward now... Not only the light attacks, skills are much slower, I really ask myself why this had to be done.
    Must've been something like "Players hated our animation changes in the TG update so we reverted these, lets bring something similar back with DB, maybe they'll like it if they have to deal with it more often"

    Went to cast fear on 2 people and my skill wouldn't go off. Couldn't do anything.

    This goes beyond animation problems. Skills aren't going off either. Break free isn't reliable and game is sluggish in combat.

    My block/bash cancel works perfectly fine, LA not to much... Its strange that there is so many people saying that they cant animation cancel even with block...
    Say no to Toxic Casuals!
    I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.


    "Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game." - @AlexanderDeLarge

    This needs to be fixed ASAP. Still confused as to why it was ever tampered with in the first place. Getting sick of seeing my weak dps numbers now because of what this has done.

    Been like it since launch, ZOS hate having too talk to the community.
    They think if they ignore it, then people will forget about it, but what actually happens is people get frustrated and leave.

    But they did reply. Also, expecting a reply or updates over a weekend is pointless because they have weekends off. We'll just have to wait and see what's in the patch notes this week and go from there.

    Please fix this! Weaving is incredibly clunky now for people with high ping!

    High ping? The issue is present with any latency. Though it is a fact ESO has double the ping of other MMOs I've played. WoW has reliably kept it at 38-42ms for years. ESO usually gives me 80-130ms.

    It is, but it is exacerbated in high ping, and it was a needless change.
    They already messed around with medium staff weave - the timing is off on that one too.
