By Jove the templar sweep ultimate isn't the worst ultimate in the game anymore. 72 ult for a skill that does marginally better damage than a normal skill and doesn't use magicka/stamina but still uses a gcd was meh. I have never seen sweep on my death recap. That major protection even if you swing at nothing and hold block is something. And if you swing at a bunch of stuff with an immovable potion and hold block is more than something. A templar might even drop a restoring focus and enter god mode.
