Light of Cyrodiil Uptime Question.

Casul

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding the light of cyrodiil set found in cyrodiil. The set works as mentioned.

When casting or channeling an ability reduce damage by 15%, if you are interrupted your next ability cost no magicka.

With say a Templar this has an obvious uptime on puncturing sweeps, but my question is with direct cast abilities such as funnel health on the nightblade. How long would this set be active during the casting of funnel health? Is it during the entire animation, or just when the damage is calculated?

I was theorizing that if it is indeed during the entire animation then using high elf you could perhaps have decent uptime on a nightblade (or other classes for that matter) when you utilized animation canceling.

Lastly I know lightning and Resto heavy attacks are considered channeled abilities but are the light attacks considered casting an ability?

Thank you in advance.

It would not be active at all during the cast time of Funnel Health, or any other non-channeled ability. The way that the set tooltip is worded is very misleading, as it only applies to channeled abilities.

Or another way to put it: Cyrodiil's Light would be active for the entire duration of Funnel Health's cast time, which is 0.

Oh ok, well that is a bummer but I’m happy to have some clarification. Thank you!

It only applies to abilities with a cast time. You can see on the tooltip of everyskill, most skills have no cast time. A skill with a cast time is for instance, dark conversion or jabs.
