Guild Wars 2

Sometimes I hit esc and it seems to work, sometimes it just pops the esc menu.

Also, I can’t find the cancel key bind in setting. Is it there? I want to change it to my mouse side button like I did in GW.

i know that weapon switching cancel the cast

But I don’t want to switch weapon…..

Sheathing your weapon can also cancel it, but if you want a simpler way to do it, just press ESC

I turn away from my target, dodge to cancel, & as mentioned pushing ESC works sometimes too. I mostly dodge cause it has never failed to cancel a cast.

My number one method for canceling a skill is getting killed. It works 100% of the time.

Force closing the game works

I ususally put a railroad spike through my tower then overhead viking toss the whole thing out of my second story window onto the street below.

I actually tossed a box off my second story patio about 15 years ago. It was running Windows 95 so I don’t think anyone could blame me.

I ate a cookie once ^-^

depends on the skill.
sometimes moving will cancel it
sometimes turning away
sometimes dodge (this is my go-to)
sometimes using any other skill will cancel it. healing seems to be the top-tier skill that will cancel any other skill, as not all skills will cancel other skills

Mystic is dead on, it depends upon the skill. Some skills queue and some skills don’t.

That being said though the default cancel action key is the ESC key and you CANNOT re-map it. Its poor design really. I usually end up burning a dodge which sucks when I am playing a class/build that has poor dodge regen. My other go to is to use my #1 skill which normally works. I have to add that I hate how some and only some of my skills cancel some and only some of my other skills. It really messes me up sometimes especially when I think I’ve used a skill but didn’t because used another 0.05 seconds too early. It really makes a big difference in sPvP against other highly skilled players.

I hope they make clearer information of how it is handled. And let us change the keybind. I don’t want to use a dodge just for that because it’s quite expensive for necro.

A. Press ESC.

You can remap it with a 1:1 relationship with third party software (like the software that comes with G1X keyboards) and be fine as far as the UA is concerned.

I mainly dodge if its a skill whose timing allows you

They need to add an official remap for that.

I havnt tested this, but if turning around cancels skill, shouldnt the key for turning 180 degrees work (I belive Ive seen it)? Maybe a doubble tap on that key, do a 360, and select a new skill to use.
