So I’ve just come back to playing GW2 after about 2 years of not.

I logged in my Warrior and started playing around, killing bosses and stuff and I can’t really remember how to cancel skills properly.

I’ve done some research on the matter – stow weapon/ weapon swap etc.. and they don’t seem to work like I remember them working.

Using GS, you can’t cancel rush or whirlwind unless you weapon swap, is that correct?

Perhaps I’m just mis-remembering how it used to be. But regardless…

If you really can’t cancel those 2 abilities then that sucks lol. Makes GS feel really slow and clunky, not to mention the fact that it’s way too easy, especially on the newer heart of thorns maps, to rush off cliffs and stuff.

Escape should work? It’s what I use to cancel moves on my warrior.

So far as I can remember movement skills could never be cancelled once the movement portion had started, only during the precasting portion, which not all movement skills have.

eheheheh my friend the time of the infinite whirlwind is over ^^ they fixed those problems. you can’t interrupt skill if not with wep swap. using GS 2 skill you can dodge and interrupt it but that’s it. the others were fixed long time ago

Depends on the animation. ‘Stow’ and ‘weapon swap’ usually work, dodge works a lot, and escape only works sometimes.

Using escape during Rush just brings up the game menu.

Weapon swapping cancels Rush. It also kinda ends Savage Leap (sword 2) and cancels the damage dealing part, which is useful to avoid getting into combat.
