Will animation cancelling be a thing?

If so, will it strictly be for abilities or will it also apply to basic meele and range attacks? I think it might be okay for abilities, but terrible for basic meele/range attacks as it's redundant due to us already having root body motion and animation cancelling could potentially add to the basic combat feeling even more floaty

I just hope it's not another ESO when it comes to combat with animation cancelling or i will be very disappointed

Animation cancelling will not be a combat mechanic.

I'm fine if there's the ability to, say, cast teleport in the middle of a long casting charge-up meteor spell to avoid an incoming attack, but cancelling the spell animation should cancel the spell altogether. What I don't like is animation cancelling where the effect still happens but you essentially shorted the animation intended to cast.
