Heavy Armour Constitution passive; Blocking? Damage shield?

Something I haven't been able to verify;
Does the new constitution skill trigger when you block incoming damage? Or how about a Damage shield like Sun shield?
Also, how well does it work in the first place and would it make a heavy magic tank viable while wearing heavy armour?

traigusb14_ESO2✭✭✭✭✭It does work on block.
It does not work on dodge (hist bark armor)
I don't use sun shield.. so not interested enough to test it .

✭It only works when holding the block key and only when the block is successful (as in you got hit).
Hist bark trigger = dodge (so not a successful block)
Damage shields like sun shield does nothing UNLESS your holding the block key downEdited by Natjur on 7 August 2014 00:120 -

Works when I don't block. The small numbers are hard to see when you take a lot more damage, but it does work.0 -

Does the damage shield still apply when blocking?
And as a side note; Do armour and spell resist apply when damage shield is up or does it get hit for full unmitigated damage?

traigusb14_ESO2✭✭✭✭✭it is 1 tick every 2 seconds. for ~30 pts. Very hard to see in pvp not blocking.
One of my friends tested it in PVP vs his GF's alt so they could do the math 1 swing at a time, so it works there too... but really gets outclassed by pvp damage.
It is a nice small boost for tanking groups of PVE baddies that do a lot of standard swings... that's pretty much it.Edited by traigusb14_ESO2 on 7 August 2014 00:270 -
RouneiceSoul ShrivenSo the proc says 'when you are hit'. Is this the same as 'incoming damage' or is 'incoming damage' only damage taken to health and not just hit?
Basically meaning, do both 'when you are hit' and 'incoming damage' procs actually proc when you have damage shields up such as Sun Shield and NOT blocking? Or does it proc when you have Sun Shield up but are blocking?Ominlok

I test this with CLS combat log. If you block the passive is triggered. If you have a shield up while blocking it is not. If you have a shield up without blocking it is not.
In Summary:
Block.No Shield = Yes
Block.Shield = No
No Block.Shield = No
No Block.No Shield = Yes0
