The new Light Attack animation is terrible, its lag and doesn't work sometimes

Does anyone have problem with the new light attack animation after the patch? I mean, it's hard to combo like skill + light attack + skill + light attack (I'm DK Destro Staff DPS)

I can't understand and can't see if I'm doing a LA, sometimes seems like a lag and I can't tell if I'm doing the LA or not between the skills, my DPS dropped a bit because of that, can't Zenimax return to the normal light attack for mages/staff users? It's really annoying to play like that new way.

    Attacking the air is pretty good, the problem is when I have to attack a mob.

    It was used as an animation cancel exploit to increase dps by all the "leet" gamers who knew how to program a mouse macro. Glad to see it go.

    Ooooh did they do something to change "Animation Cancel"? That would be so awesome. I mean, don't get me wrong, i got kinda good at it once i realised people expected me to play that way on my Sorc.

    Not the animation cancel, but the Light Attack, specially for DKs destro staff, it is lag and you can't tell if you are dealing the attack or not

    Staff attacks have always been kind of tricky to cancel for me, that hasn't changed with the patch.
    Thank Stendarr it’s Fredas.

    I don't bother with animation cancelling, got nothing to prove, but that light attack animation is a pain in the chute.

    Half the time it just hangs making getting a smooth combination of attacks off is virtually impossible.

    Stupid fix is stupid, another poorly thought out untested none solution for PVP that greatly affects gameplay in PVE.

    I played for like 4 hours today before coming to work and i , in all honesty, haven`t seen a difference at all in the way light attacks work, or in the animations.

    I was playing my heavy armored / greatsword Templar this afternoon though. I do have a light armored/ staves Templar character that i haven`t played since the latest patch so i can`t say if there is any difference with staves yet . But with my greatsword , i wasn`t able to tell if there was a difference or not.

    Be who you want to be , do what you want to do, play the way you want to play.

    Same goes for your build. There is no perfect build, there are only other builds.
