Will animation cancelling be removed from the game?

I honestly couldn't give a damn that it's in the game. What I do give a damn about is content and balancing being designed around the damage numbers that animation cancelling can achieve. If people who abuse it want to do so to reach said numbers, then go right ahead. Just don't whine and cry that content is too easy because of it.

well said and i agree with that.
we all animation cancel, all of us. the number of people who do not animation cancel is very small but they do exist.
the devs even teach us this animation canceling in the hints and gameplay training.
however, people working into it with cheat engine exploits that are hard to detect.
i see on a daily basis the same people hit others in pvp with 5 or 6 skills or light attacks in less then 1 second, its allways the same guys, i never see other people doing it.
in addition to that, i see those same guys at resources take out those guards on the flags instantly.
you see the guard fall and all you hear is one hit.

NO and it never will...because THEY CANNOT FIX IT.

so stop beating this dead horse, even if we will get necros with Elsweyr, reviving this Topic is jsut plain nonsense.

Animation cancelling is imbedded into the game at this point. There would have to be MASSIVE overhauls to the core mechanics of the game to remove it at this point.

As long as you're not able to bypass the global cooldowns (that would be exploiting) then everything is fine right now. The last thing I ever want is to have to wait a second for my block or dodge roll to kick in. Every mechanic in the game would have to be adjusted for this new delay.

thank you for this comment. I am just getting the hang of animation cancelling. Eric Wrobel really liked the unintended consequence of this technique. I am practicing it. And putting in many hours on the target dummy, mobs and bosses.

And as soon as I master this technique eso announces that it will be removed. (reason for the poll)

Hopefully I can practice it with my mind at ease that it won't be removed.


With Wrobel gone, anything is possible. Why did he leave?? He was the number 1 supported of the technique.

No. some things are too baked into the game code. ZOS couldn't get rid of it, so now it's a feature.

I hope it's removed.

The name in-itself implies a broken combat system "Animation Canceling", skipping over a skill's animation.

A slower paced non animation canceling combat would create a more thought-out counter/reactive game play.

Animation Cancel is here to stay in ESO.

Like or not that's how it is. Combat suffers because of it. But meh, I guess you have to decide what's important to you.

Hey folks! Since a similar thread on animation canceling exists, we have gone ahead and closed this one down. Thank you for your understanding, and feel free to continue the discussion here.
