Teleport Strike is not "instant"

jonathanonmarsnrb18_ESO · May 2015

If Teleport Strike is indeed "instant", then why on earth can I still get stunned or CCed during the animation?? It just doesn't make sense.
It's literally the only "instant" ability in game that you can't block while using it. Even when I'm holding block right before I use Teleport Strike, I'm not blocking during the animation.
Just when I thought Teleport Strike FINALLY doesn't have a cast time, nope it's EXACTLY the same as it was before.
Either change it back to having a cast time in the tooltip or fix the animation please.
It's really pissing me off the amount of times I get uppercutted during the Teleport Strike animation and get 2 shot killed by it because I couldn't break out of it in time and because I DON'T EXPECT TO GET STUNNED during the animation....
If it really is instant, then make it instant please. Thanks.

have you tried casting teleport strike while NOT blocking hitting the teleport strike button and quickly blocking right after?

doing that cancels the ability.

That's interesting. What do DW users do for a gap closer, then? Put 2H or 1HS on the other bar?

(I'm growing a baby NB, due to the grass always being greener, and I've yet to decide whether he'll be DW or 2H).
