Somebody just informed me that animation canceling is being removed with update 17. Is that true or was I misinformed. I couldn't find anything about it on the patch notes and I can't test it because I'm on Xbox. Thanks.

    That's an exploit/bug, it's not possible to do that by simply "animation cancelling" due to global cooldowns alone.

    Probably just lag rather than a exploit/bug.

Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    you missunderstand, i am asking for animation canceling to be removed,
    i dont like it.
    you would not be able to Gank people if animation canceling was removed because that is basicly what people are doing.

    killing people in what looked like 1 hit, you look at your death recap and it shows multiple hits that killed you in under 1 tenth of a second.
    and no it was not from lagg.

    you can't cast abilities faster via animation cancelling. It's fake news.

    they can't remove something that doesn't exist.

    Another example of someone not knowing what animation cancelling is and isn't and asking for it to be removed anyway.

    Do you understand that there is a global cooldown for abilities? You can't cast skills faster than once every 1.5 (?) seconds due to the global cooldown.

    Your comment doesn't "stand", it's plain wrong. Animation cancelling has nothing to do with you getting one hit. Timed burst abilities, abilities with travel time and intelligent timing of burst does.
