Does ZOS encourage or discourage animation canceling in PVP?

I personally feel that PVP is already unbalanced enough as it is, and that animation canceling further unbalances it. Should it be removed or embraced?

    encourage it. they said it is a part of the game and isn't going anywhere. Last I heard about animation canceling.

    Without animation cancelling you would never kill another player 1v1.
    Healing/Shield are > damage done by abilities WITH weaving already.
    Removing animation cancelling will just further reduce the amount of damage done in PvP.

    In addition animation cancelling is nessecary for the combat to actually feel fluid. Everyone who is against it probably wont like to be stuck in every skill animation till the end without any means to dodge/block an incomming heavy hitter.

    My theory is they already aren't dodging or blocking them. :p

    Animation cancelling is a bit more clunky on the PTS with the changes they have made. I find that with certain skills it isn't really worth doing anymore.

    Embrace. Pvp combat feels really dumbed down and slow w/o AC after doing it for awhile. 1 action per second is pretty dang slow, imo.

    Well, they are not happy with it, I guess, but they are unable or unwilling to fix it - so they just declared it a feature. My trust into their ability to fix stuff is ceasing, I really think, they do not have the staff required to make this game work properly.

    It's a normal part of the game, only thing that should change is that they should add an advanced combat tutorial somewhere. Abilities, light/Heavy attacks, roll dodge, and block are all on separate cooldowns, "animation canceling" is just figuring out how the priority system works.

    Zos never said 'it was part of the game", they did say it was an unintended aspect and they were insure how to fix it, but they were not going to ban people for doing it.

    Gonna need a quote on that, keep hearing it but not seeing it.

    Just do a forum search on 'animation canceling' and look for the DEV response.

    I don't understand people who want it removed.. pvp would go no where. It is just something that you have to learn to do and EVERYONE has access to it. Without animation cancelling they are making the game even more dumbed down and removing another skill aspect of the game. Honestly if they removed it I would quit the game, without a/c the combat is slow and sluggish.
