This little exploit will allow you to do double the amount of damage in the game. This is done by canceling the animation for an attack and allowing you to do another one right away. So you are getting 2 attacks in the time it takes you to do one in the game. In order to do the atack you need to do the following.

- Put one of your skills in the left mouse button.
- Put your second skill in your hotbar lets use key 1 for example.
- Press left mouse button and instantly hit your hotkey.
- This will then activate your left mouse button skill but cancel the animation and instantly do your hot key 1. Thus having you do both thing sin the game.

Lets map the time it takes to do 5 Cleaves and 5 Bashes the normal way:
0.0 Seconds: Cleave(1)
1.0 Seconds: Bash(1)
2.0 Seconds: Cleave(2)
3.0 Seconds: Bash(2)
4.0 Seconds: Cleave(3)
5.0 Seconds: Bash(3)
6.0 Seconds: Cleave(4)
7.0 Seconds: Bash(4)
8.0 Seconds: Cleave(5)
9.0 Seconds: Bash(5)
10.0 Seconds: DONE -- 10 Attacks in 10 Seconds

Now with cancelling:
0.0 Seconds: Cleave(1)
0.5 Seconds: Bash(1)
1.5 Seconds: Cleave(2)
2.0 Seconds: Bash(2)
3.0 Seconds: Cleave(3)
3.5 Seconds: Bash(3)
4.5 Seconds: Cleave(4)
5.0 Seconds: Bash(4)
6.0 Seconds: Cleave(5)
6.5 Seconds: Bash(5)
7.5 Seconds: DONE -- 10 Attacks in 7.5 Seconds

Based on that video you can see that a significant amount of time is saved in the long run for doing this move. Its great for pve and pvp.

Here is a video of it in action.
