Before anybody starts complaining:

Animation canceling does not allow you to cast abilities faster

Animation cancelling makes the game look dumb imho.

No but it does allow you to do more dps, in pvp burst DPS specifically depending on class and skills used.

I am not saying that's bad or good. It's too late in the game for them to change it now anyways. If they were going to they would have done it three years ago

So I don't think we have to worry about them ever changing it.

I will always see this as a glitch, you must be really bad if you have to rely on cheating.

One of the funniest things I read on this forums ever. Delusional!

Using light attack weaving and animation cancelling requires situational awareness and muscle memory. My opinion is ppl that don't want to learn how to do it effectively is it's just pure laziness. The whole I want the game to slightly challenge me but I don't want put any effort into learning the advanced mechanics of the game. The developers accept it's use no other arguement is neede. Stop trolling

Hey guys , despite personal feelings about animation canceling and I understand both sides of the debate , it's not cool to derail a thread with a guide made to help educate players on learning the mechanics . ZoS supports animation canceling and it is intended game play by their own statements , so no need to shoot down anyone helping the community with L2P videos intended to educate .

I'd love the game to challenge me more where I position myself, and knowledge of how abilities and enemies work/move. It's why I love vMSA. just getting better at stack and burn is bland and boring as hell.

You're talking about Bow heavy attack, right?

Not everybody has time to develop 3-phase animation cancelling (aka Light Attack + Skill + Bash or Block). Also it is really really hard to weave it perfectly in PVP where a lot of movement is involved as well.

I limit my animation weaving to Light attack + Skill both in PVP and PVE. In most cases it is as fast as Light Attack + Skill + Block if the skill has really short animation.

The only true advantage of using 3-phase animation cancelling in PVP is on sword an board builds where bash does a lot of damage - then you practically double your sword and board dps with animation canceling (with bash).

Personally I'd like to see animation cancelling changed.

We definitely need to be able to cancel our animation in order to block or roll dodge or bash but not for increasing our dps!

A penalty should be involved if an animation is cancelled - either let the cancelled skill do less damage or let the cancellation cost resources.

I don't think you understand what cancel means.

Then you will always be wrong.

A pity ZoS approves of people taking a dump on their game. Such is the self-esteem of the devs, I suppose.

This.

More than enough threads to sling poop and argue in. Let players who create content and guides share their material without their threads being infested with debates.

Thanks for the video OP. I have watched a few in the past and know basics but always worth watching more, will take a look tonight.

90% of the animation canceling you will ~need~ to do is left click --> skill cast. it's really really easy
