I made a thread about weapon skills cancelling before.

Pc controller.

Explanation a bit better.

When Moving I am supposed to be able to use circle blade and animation would go through hitting the monsters but it doesn't instead.

I hold my R2 button I hit circle blade and there is pause animation cancel then no TP used, same with shield toss the animation goes but shield never reaches target and the TP is not used it took me 3 tries in CT to hit skeletons on bone dragon.
