Guild Wars 2

Is there anyway to stop casting a spell in the middle of its cast without having to use a dodge. This is especially helpful when you hit the wrong spell in the middle of a fight, are confused, or attacking an opponent who currently has a reflect bubble out.

It’s also a pain, however, because it’s also mapped to the game’s “main menu,” so you can be frantically trying to get your character to stop trying to hit things and wind up with a menu in the way. Of course, this might also be remappable.

Dodging also works.
