Animation Canceling, Easy Overlandcontent

Uviryth

Hello everyone!

I quit the game about a year ago. Now I´m considering coming back.
But before I do two questions.
Is Animation Canceling still a thing?
Is Overlandcontent still Melting Enemies before they can even Attack?

Thanks,
Uvi

Yes and Yes.

Yes, animation cancelling is still a thing.

Overland content still pretty easy even if there's a nerf upon us - see patch notes.

Yes to both.
But, we stand to lose about 20% to 30% dps in the upcoming DLC, so overland might be slightly harder but probably still easy...

Sadly yes, the landscape is still a joke. So if that was a contributing reason as to why you quit (and I can understand why - that's probably my biggest gripe with the game currently as well) that hasn't improved much. But at least they are starting to pay some attention to it finally and seem to recognize that "power creep" is a real problem and are taking steps to correct it. So there is some cause to be optimistic in that regard.

As far as the other: I'll defer. I'm exhausted on that topic.

I'm calling troll on this one. OP has a comment history covering recent months and current topics including necromancer mechanics, so the claim of being away for a year smells fishy. The topics chosen - especially animation cancelling - are strangely inflammatory and have been spammed to death recently.

Overland is probably balanced around 2-4K DPS so this patch won't change overland. If you look at PTS based on what people are saying spammables are honestly the best thing so essentially overland doesn't change at all.

Animation cancelling is here to stay tbh. So many people here have been complaining that it’s still bug, yadda yadda yadda. But it ain’t going anywhere. As for overland, it’s still easy. Though Elsweyr dragons actually do hurt a bit.

Ani canceling is the only thing that sets good players apart from trash players. You guys have gotten everything else, and I'm sure you'll get this to. Guess it's time for the good players to leave and find a better game so you guys can have your hand held

So you've never played a game that required skill other than ESO and their weaving combat? Not ever? Or is it that you just assume there's nothing else they can do given the context of the current combat design that would give the same reflection in skill differences we currently see.

overland will never be hard content so put those dreams on the side.
it will always be content everyone can complete.
