Empowering sweep is bad

Anybody that plays templar can agree here that the mag morph is just soooo much stronger then the stam morph. Empower simply isn't a good buff for pvp. And for pve, flawless db outperforms empowering sweep anyway so sayng it is a pve skill sn't really a good argument. Incap gives a couple buffs when slotted, has a hgher tooltip, and increases dmg done. Empowering? You get a *** direct dmg attack, a weak dot, and probably one of the worse buffs in the game for stamina. The major prot they had before they changed it was better then empower, at least change it back tot that. If zos wants it to be an offensive ability, it needs either more damage or a better buff that is useful for both pve and pvp. Hell, maybe even a debuff

    It’s one of the best damage ults in the game with a low cost and no cast time.

    I’ll trade incap for empowering sweep, especially for the lack of a cast time and the chance to proc burning light. 40% on light attacks, minor protection on hit, aoe and an aoe dot isn’t something to sneeze at

    Its amazing, cheap, can roll cancel, decent burst and every dot can proc burning light.

    I agree its pretty lackluster. Would love to have back major protection buff or make it apply some other major debuff or buff, 40% light attack damage useless.

    However I think giving cresent back to magicka templar was a good decision, they lacked ulti burst, stamplar can still use dawnbreaker or onslaught, but empowering is bad compared to other ultimates.

    The mag morph is better, but it’s empowering is still a solid option, besides the class-neutral mag ults all suck so magplar definitely needs a hard hitting ult more than stamplar. The patch notes at the time even said that it made more sense to give stamplar the utility morph of sweep since the had the option of running dawnbreaker.

    The utility morph does not offer much utility. People just don't use it and use crescent sweep in stead.

    Half (that's being generous) the skills and morphs in this game don't get any play. But to argue Templars need anything other than a swift kick in the nuts at this point is a waste of space on this forum.
