Does the Light of Cyrodiil set works with weapon skills or only class skills ?

Hi everyone, do you know if this set is working on class and weapon skills ? or do you have any information about it ? as the definition is unclear. Thanks

While Casting or Channeling a spell, incoming damage is reduced by (25)%

My guess would be class skills. The spell in spell damage for instance does not apply to weapon casts, and so it is probably safe to assume that the same definition applies in this tool tip. Having said that I don't use the set myself and so it would be interesting if someone could confirm based on their usage.

I've been wondering about this set myself, if it's worth it as a melee Nightblade using class melee attacks or if they are just too fast for it to make a difference.

This Set makes no sence. It only works if you use a Skill that has Casttime or is channeld.
If I look at my Stamina and Magicka NB, than all I see are Instant Skills but none with casttime or channeling.

Might be nice for Sorcerer that are used of casting Crystal Shards and using Soul Siphon Ultimate from the World Souls line.

All Heavy Attacks are counted as "casting" and Mist Form is a "channel". Instant cast abilities are nothing.

Caps, so you can confirm that instants wont be taken into account for like 0.x second timing window or something like tied to animation time?

Bump!

Please, I am interested in this question. "so you can confirm that instants wont be taken into account for like 0.x second timing window or something like tied to animation time?

Anyone has tested this?

Thx
