    Wait, what are you exactly asking about? LA weaving or animation cancelling, as in one or the other? Or both? Because they're not one and the same.

    Irrelevant...

    It is an unintentional addition to the game that could not be fixed or removed...

    Making polls or complaining about will not make any difference to the fact that it
    Cannot be Removed

    No, because it is natural to change what you are doing very fast in combat. Just look at any martial arts, fighters animation cancel non-stop IRL, it is outcome of billions of years of evolution - to survive species should have ability to change speed and direction of actions very fast. Of course there are plants and trees who don't do this, but game is not about trees, but about apish creatures, and IRL apes are fast and unpredictable AF.

    f. some skills are using ligh attacks to work (the best example is on siphoning attacks, no light attacks for this - mostly better will be even to unslot this skill)

    I have to be honest, I've been here since launch and am still not 100% sure what animation cancelling is. I'm sure I do it accidentally, but every video I've ever tried to follow I seriously can't tell if I'm doing it right and so I just play without worrying about it.

    No, because it is natural to change what you are doing very fast in combat. Just look at any martial arts, fighters animation cancel non-stop IRL

    But when they cancel a move, that move doesn't land. Because they CANCELLED it.

    I would LOVE it if WEAVING as it is right now was removed. not being able to cancel animations (as in skills) in order to dodge/block/etc? not so much. but basically if you cancel animations? IMO - it should cancel damage of that attack as incomplete.

    Yes it should be removed and and the combat should be replaced with something that doesn't rely on animation cancelling gimmicks.

    Uh, we could argue that irl precise timing would be best, while it probably would be possible to make a single player like that, mmo that is ping reliant it is impossible. Therefore you have to chose one, fast paced combat, or 100% smooth animations. I chose fast paced combat.

    There are skills and armour sets that even encourage weaving/ani cancelling. Why even would you want to change it? If you don't want to do it then don't do it, but don't make other people do whatever you want.

    Good or bad, we're a little too far down the road for this to be a meaningful discussion. ZOS officially supports it. End of story. Besides, it's not that hard to learn. If you take the time to practice enough, it eventually becomes muscle memory you don't even think about.

    They should test the idea on the PTS, would be interested to see how the game plays with them removed.

    But for the most part I don't really care one way or the other.

    Except that’s not possible to do. You either have action priority or you don’t. Either you’re allowed to cast your heal then block or you’re not. Either you’re allowed to cast a buff while blocking or you’re not.

    The real solution to the “problem” of animation canceling, is trimming animations so they always fit within the GCD.

    Light weaving shouldn’t deal nearly 20% of someone’s total dps, but it shouldn’t be removed, just revert the Summerset LA buffs that took the damage out of control and buff ability base damages.

    ESO works on an instant cast system, meaning ALL animations except those attached to cast times are completely superfluous. They always have been, and no one wants more cast times in this game to slow down combat, which they would. The ones haphazardly placed on ults were a poor enough decision, nothing else needs a similar treatment.

    I voted yes, but in fact they should nerf light attack, meaning they should nerf psijic line and vma staff and buff dots.
