✭✭✭There's a fake patch note that's been circulating various discords. It's fake guys. Stop spreading rumors.
Look, here's another "leaked" patch note. It's not hard to do.

It perhaps originally wasn't intended but now it's essential for a lot of end game content. The main means for animation cancelling--bar swapping and block--aren't things they can remove from the game and making it so you can't do those actions until an animation is complete would be pretty disastrous for pve combat.
I don't like how ZOS acts like it's not part of the combat system, but it is.Edited by jssriot on February 8, 2018 6:16PMPC-NA since 2015. Tired and unimpressed.10 -

I don't like how ZOS acts like it's not part of the combat system, but it is.
It's a side effect of being able to bar swap, block or dodge, or activate a skill when you need to to react to being attacked.
It was not intended to be a DPS mechanic but it became one. End game content is balanced around DPS numbers that are present using it. It's not going to go anywhere. Basically it was designed into the game for reaction purposes and started being used for a different purpose (DPS gains)
The fake patch notes going around don't even mention removing it, just that 'cancelling an animation also cancels the function of the ability being cancelled'. The big DPS gains don't even come from ACing abilities, but rather ACing light attacks, which was not mentioned at all in the "patch notes".

- Note: Moving forward, if you come across an image that appears to be a patch note, simply visit the official ESO forums to see the truth for yourself.

well atleast that fake news is bringing people back, means people really do hate that animation canceling and dying in under one tenth of a second to a whole bunch of hits.
animation canceling needs to be removed from eso.
If you're the kind of player who can be killed in under one second to multiple hits, then you're also the kind of player who can be killed in a few seconds without animation cancelling.

KanedaSyndrome✭✭✭✭Would be a dream come true tbh. Would be better for the game as a whole. Introduce skill queuing allowing placing up to 3 skills in queue, such that you don't experience too much "down time between" skill casts.
We'd actually see animations play out fully as intended.KanedaSyndrome's Suggestions For Game Improvements

But seriously
Removing it would fundamentally change the way combat works in this game, making it slow. You can't remove it with out making it so you have to wait for animations to finish to react to things like having to block or dodge.
Making it so it cancelled the function would just add another requirement check or calculation to the skill adding bloat to the game.
If people spent half the time learning how to AC as they do [snip] about it, they'd be good at it.
