Animation Cancelling feels Horrible and Pointless

Animation Cancelling feels Horrible and Pointless. Having to spam an invisible Light Attack before kills and not being able to see any GCD sweep can cause light attacks to not happen.

Actually with the ~1 second cool down on skills ideally you would be getting roughly a light attack per second. A little less generally. Also you don't need to weave for viable dps on most content it just helps a lot.
To be fair to ESO the light attack weaving was accepted well before the actual combat system was even near the form we recognize today.... or maybe that was a backhanded defense there....0 -

Is Animation Cancelling a Feature, not a Bug?
"It was an unintended effect, but eventually accepted feature of the game"
"It's a mechanic flaw, like most games that have it. Devs are typically too lazy to fix it or don't care to. Use it if you want to although some elitist might actually scold you for not doing it. The game doesn't require it but it'd still make you murder things faster."
"It was unintentional, but the consensus of the devs and basically any skilled player is that it adds a layer to the combat system that makes it much more dynamic, fun, and skill-based. As the game has developed, it is clear that the developers have designed skills and balanced content with AC in mind. This is particularly true with the recent patch. Experienced light attack weavers are now even further ahead of the rest, as light attacks have moved into the first or second spot on most damage recaps."
"Devs mentioned it was unintended and that it is now an accepted part of the game fully endorsed by Zos."
"Animation cancelling is cheating and the developers encourages this practice because their unable to fix the bug."
Need i go on? there's literally hundreds more... Wanna say i don't know what i'm talking about again? I've played the game since day 1 and it's getting worse now with AC.I was once Banned for making a game criticism. Think about that.5 -

So you think they really intended you to have the ability to press a key so fast that in the split micro second of an eye the skill does off, does it's buff or its dmg and then instantly goes into the next attack without you being able to hardly notice it? is that what you're telling me?

I don't know what game you are describing, but it is not ESO.
And you completely misunderstood me. I did not say that AC was intended. Nor did I say AC was non-intended. AC is simply an emergent property of the game.

huh?
it's literally ONE extra light-attack every second.
what is this micro-second, 95% reduction, free, ultra fast, clicking that breaks your Razer Naga?
click LA, click skill "right away" to start a skill. not free. not "micro second". it cuts about half (u even know how fast light attacks are?) animation, and if ur Naga breaks, go get a Logitech mouse.
yo, ur Razer even support macro if u can't keep up. I know, I had a Naga and now on my Naga Hex.
no i dont do macro coz I pvp and weaving/cancelling has minimum impact with all the lag....

✭Hopefully, they have done this on purpose as a first step to getting rid of "weaving" and animation cancelling.Lethal zergling1 -
Casul✭✭✭✭✭
✭I always felt that animation canceling was not hard to learn, but it is a bad thing in my mind. Mainly because it contributes so greatly to dps that if you have any kind of latency you will begin to see your dps drop significantly more, compared to the dps differences in the case where animation canceling had not been a thing.
And I say this with the acceptance of it at face value. If you want good dps, you will LA weave and animation cancel.PvP needs more love.1 -

Instead of complaining about something that will never change maybe move on to another game? No one is forcing you to play or weave.
At this point whether it was intended or not is irrelevant, the mechanic is here to stay. It would be like playing Super Smash Bro's Melee and complaining about all the "bug's" that allowed you to animation cancel when that game has become arguably the most fun and technically advanced Smash to date with entire tournaments dedicated to the game 20+ years after release.
Glitches and Bug's that aren't game breaking aren't always a bad thing. In this games case it added a layer to the combat that many other games adopted like Smash. Many people enjoy it despite the vocal minority you may find complaining about weaving and ZOS has fully adopted it building sets and tutorials around it.
Furthermore, animation cancelling is in EVERYTHING you do in the game. You remove that, then have fun waiting for your animation to finish before you dodge roll or block. You want the game to be slower to keep up with you.. no thanks.
The damage light/heavy attacks do is the only possible change I see happening to raise the floor and lower the ceiling..PC Beta - 1900+ CP

You didn't understand it, because of you did you would have realized how important this concept is to the game. There are some players that even came up with combinations of AC tactics that other players don't even use (skill - cancel bar swap to snb bar-bash being one of them).
You'll will also realize the system requires you to understand weaving, where you add a light attack after each skill. You need to learn this and fast if you truly want to enjoy the game at end game level.Minno - DC - Forum-plar Extraordinaire

So.. have you never played mortal combat or any other fighting game that utilizes a set of buttons to perform a combo? Think of light attack weaving as one long, drawn out combo. You literally just hit the light attack button between skills..
If you have any kind of problems with doing this simple task, then I bid you good day, and farewell. Don’t let the fictional door hit you in the bum on your way out.
P.S if you’re a quester/casual player, then there’s literally no reason for you to concern yourself with this or complain about it. What do you get out of complaining? Why is this such a bad concept to you? Is it just because you can’t do it so you’re jealous? I don’t get these kinds of posts.1
