Teleport Strike is not "instant"

jonathanonmarsnrb18_ESO

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.

It is not a cast time. It's a channel time. Cast times can be interrupted. While channel times cannot be interrupted, you can be vced during them.

Example

Biting jabs is a channel time. It cannot be bashed. however you can be vced while using it. You cannot block while using it.

Magicka detonation is a cast time. You can be bashed and cced while using it

haven't looked at nightblade ambush tool tip in a while. Maybe it says channel time on it?

At the very least the cast time tooltip should be changed to .5 seconds for clarity, but OP is right mostly.

Agreed, but bolt escape is not only instant but it gets you out of snares slows etc so it's okay

Blab, it says " Cast time: Instant" on the tooltip. Not channel time. It should be exactly like Healing Ward for example, which is also "Cast time: Instant", except you can block while doing that and not get stunned....

Yeah.. it's not instant.

It's a tooltip error.
