Cinematic Special Drains won't turn off

[Infamous Geezer]

I backstab enemies and I still see this tiresome animation even after I have went into settings and switched it off. How do I stop this?

The animations itself won't stop. The cinematic camera should stop. If it didn't then I have no idea what's going on with your game.
For me the animations still play, but I can move the camera around if I lock off the enemy

It's most likely me not understanding what it does exactly. I'd prefer it done a basic back stab animation which is faster than what we already get.

What's "basic backstab animation"? Different blood veils have different animations. If you want the shortest one, use Claw. Actually, I would always recommend Claw type veils, because they have the best parry timing.

I'm going for pure Black Mage build. It's good to know that the veils dictates what animation you get. Doubt Claw is best tfor the build I'm going to do?

There are different Claw type veils, but I'm not sure about Dark scaling on any of them. I usually don't go for magic builds

I think the best caster veils tend to be the Ivy type ones, and I think those have the longest drain attack. Some of the stinger ones are decent for casters, though, and their animation is a bit shorter.

The Blackblood Liberator/Tracer/Strife is a Claw type with good Dark scaling (probably on par with Noble but for Dark), but that's about it.
I tried making Dark 1H melee build the other day but there not a lot of fitting skills over there. A lot of ranged attacks.
