Patch 0.2.0h Removes Animation Cancels For Rake and Whirling Slash

GGG just released Patch 0.2.0h which removes the ability to rapidly cancel the tail-end animation of Rake and Whirling Slash in order to move around much faster. This change is aimed to remove the need for special macros in order to be competitive in the upcoming race event.

Patch Notes for 0.2.0h

Community_Team on pathofexile.com:

• Added Support for the upcoming Race Events.
• Fixed a bug on PlayStation where Global Illumination and Screen Space Effects were broken.
• Fixed a bug on Xbox and PlayStation where the recombinating interface stretched off screen.
• Fixed a bug where the intended lockout period for using another skill immediately after cancelling a partially completed skill did not apply if the cancelled skill was Rake or Whirling Slash. This bug also affects many other melee attacks, but we are only fixing the most egregious cases immediately in order to avoid potential unintended nerfs or disruption to gameplay fluidity. The remaining fixes will be deployed at a later date, when we are certain any negative side effects have been addressed.
