Animation Cancelling Issues on XBox One

ReachHalo

This is not a complaint about animation cancelling. In fact, after a year of playing the game and getting my head around a decent rotation for both a templar and sorc, i actually appreciate animation cancelling.

But i have issues with it while using a lightning staff. I would say every second attempt at light attacking with a lightning staff, nothing happens before using a skill. Now before you say it's the controller or my own uselessness, when using a flame staff - no problem, light attack 100% of the time before using a skill.

Does anyone know if there is a reason for this? Like is it something specific to the lightning staff? Maybe its a channelling thing??

Also, is it just Xbox thing or does the same issue happen across pc and ps4?

Any thoughts are appreciated. I'd like to continue using a lightning staff, but because of this I'm thinking of going back to the good ol flamo

Lightning staves are bugged. Sometimes when you light attack, they remain "stuck" and keep zapping. You have to move around and/or engage other skills to clear it.
Other times, they get stuck in a similar way when you finish an heavy attack. This on PC.
