Animation cancelling has been around for aeons, deal with it,
You’re not cancelling anything. Your molding together skills to turn two things into one. And what about my post made you think I’m not “dealing with it”. I love ability molding and use it all the time.
For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, I’m referring to the ability to mold together skills and make them land at the same time. You can activate skills and utilities during the cast time of another skill without interrupting it, causing the animation to finish as well as the second skill to land. There are countless examples of this being “abused” on nearly every class. I’m curious, do people think this is a legitimate and intended mechanic of combat? Or are people doing this essentially exploiting?
Examples
- Thief: Probably the most used. Steal can be used during animation like CnD or PW. Much of the over the top burst isn’t from thief skills being OP themselves (Backstab really is actually balanced) the problem stems from being able to mold together all of a thieves burst to land at the same time. (Cast CnD animation, mold together with steal to port to enemy..CnD lands same time steal hits and stealths you, allowing for BS…3 burst abilities hit with in half a second)
Guardian: Judge’s Intervention. Works the same way. Cast it during a weapon animation to port to enemy and land the weapon skill cast from range. Most commonly used with banish. "O your target dodged your knockdown? Don’t worry just use JI to port to them as the banish animation finishes.
Ele: Churning Earth. Pretty good skill if you can land it. Problem is it has a long cast time and a smart player can just dodge away from you. Not! Just use Lightning Flash to port to where ever your target tried to move away to. Now you can always land your CE.
I could go on but you guys get the idea. So exploit or intended combat mechanic?
OP, don’t make a thread telling new player not to PvP on warriors when you obviously have very little to no experience in PvP….“but I heard from my friends they’re bad, so they must be bad” That’s not a good way to back up your opinions when you state so definitely what a warrior can and can’t do.
At the very top levels of play, you actually see more warriors filling the role of the burst roamer than thieves. Just look at a team like PZ (arguably the best team in NA). What class do they have as the main roamer and main burst? That’s right…and GS warrior.
New players..ignore this thread and play what you enjoy
PAID tournaments for like top 50? maybe top 100 teams. There is nothing in between.
That’s extremely generous. The Q times wouldn’t be so atrocious if that was the case. Try top 10.
You might want to go learn a thing or two about how runes work :P
Should have taken you all of two seconds of testing to figure out all 6 affects listed on runes don’t stack.
No it’s not viable. P/P is by far the worst weapon set, and Shortbow you actually have to be up close, almost melee range, to deal effective damage.
I think you need to learn a bit more about how stealing works before you make a thread complaining. You don’t literally take one of the skills they are using. Each class gives it own unique skill when you steal from them.
Also it’s far from useless. It tics every two seconds, giving regen and condition removal to any ally around it. It also counts as a water combo field, allowing anyone on your team to use a finisher in it for added benefits. One of the better steal skills for team fights.

What up with the word kitten lately? Was there some meme I missed. Every thread I read there’s some dude randomly throwing the word kitten anywhere they feel like.
