Guild Wars 2

While I have owned this game since launch, I have never played it past level 20-30. I am now just getting back into the game (I have a ranger up to 64 so far) and am interested in a guild that is geared towards helping people find groups for dungeons and fractals (once I have a level 80 that has gear for that content) and does not mind people who have little to no experience this type of content (I have only done the first 2 dungeons once in story mode).

Since this would not be my “main” guild, I would need one that does not require repping.

So the last MMO I played was Elder Scrolls Online and that game seemed to have a pretty high level of animation cancelling that was required or you lose a lot of DMG. During leveling my ranger, most of the skills I have noticed seem to not work if I cancel the animation early however I have heard people say that animation cancelling is a thing. I can’t seem to find any recent info on if animation cancelling is a things in this game nor do I find and videos on youtube about in (in contrast to the numerous recent videos for ESO animation cancelling).

Is animation cancelling a things you need to learn in Guild Wars 2 to not miss out on a lot of damage?
