Evocation decreasing the cost of Ultimates, Roll Dodge, Bashing, .... ?

Hey everyone,
I was on PTS when I heard of Light Armor reducing the cost of ultimates and discovered that the "Evocation" passive was in fact affecting it.
I then tested on other mechanics and realized it was also reducing the cost of Roll Dodge (needs a confirmation cause the stamina pool wasn't accurate but it really looked like it), Bashing, and maybe even Break Free (I couldn't test the last one). However Blocking was not affected.
Looking forward to see it fixed

✭✭Why should it be fixed? It should be an intended feature.
Light armor suffer severe survivability issues and reduced ult costs make glass cannon play-styles more appealing.3 -

Agreed, how about a compromise?
0.3%/0.5%/1% Ult reduction in addition with 1%/2%/3% magicka cost reduction.
5% ult reduction in 5 light + 15% spell cost reduction.

✭Light Armour definitely need *something* to make it more viable to use. Decreased ultimate cost sounds good. And it makes sense, since Light armour generally used by Magicians & other magic(k)a users.
If it lowers the cost of Break-Free & Dodge-roll... That wouldn't make any sense. Break Free & Dodge roll got nothing to do with Light Armour whatsoever. Probably a bug.Ignorance is the greatest weapon of tyranny.

Sizaansil✭✭✭It is indeed a bug as the tooltip says :
"Reduces the magicka cost of spell by 3% for per piece of Light Armor equipped"
So either the tooltip or the formula is bugged.
Now don't get me wrong : I'd be the first to dance after getting a Light Armor buff or a Heavy Armor nerf (I've been playing Light Armor since 1.2 and I never stopped), but I think that this bug for example deserves to be fixed even if it is making the game more balanced ^^ I know that heavy armor is really strong but it's not game-breaking. If I had discovered a bug to counter the meteor fall damage back in the days, I would probably haven't shared it

✭✭✭✭ZOS should strongly consider leaving this as is. Magicka needs dodge roll for roots. And the ultimate reduction will help balance out against HA.Retired.

✭The ultimate cost reduction seem fine in pvp and lore-wise, but in pve it's too much.
The roll dodge, bashing and break reduction seem not right, but the idea of a slow reduction seem definitely good. After all, medium armor is an armor who perfectly fit the body and give you better accurate acrobatic movement, but is still heavier than light armor. Light isn't good for acrobatic move, but better for free-walking (aka no slow).0
