Here's an in game video demonstration with CMX screenshots of my Sorc's burst combo with and without Contingency. To reiterate, the burst combos I will be using are:

1) Curse > Crystal Weapon > Spammable
2) Curse > Crystal Weapon > Contingency > Spammable

Without Contingency:

With Contingency:

You can literally see that adding Contingency to my regular combo gives me 1 extra instance of burst damage. It's not Curse or Deep Fissure level of burst damage, but it should deal around 4-5k AoE damage when critting.

What AoE radius does Ulfsild's Contingency have?

Btw, the flat 2k from ulfstilds actually applies to all ticks of crescent sweep and get the 66% dmg bonus as long as you are hitting something in front.
Same for aurora javelin, it can benefit from the 40% distance bonus and the resistance ignore.

Great, so it’s bugged and now every Templar is going to be running it. Fantastic.

Only the initial hit of Crescent should be counting for this, as it’s the “next direct damage attack” any other ticks follow it up.

So maybe its the next full skill and somebody should check bound Armaments + Bow Ulti...?

Doesn't sound like a bug to me, rather the sort of damage buff Templar desperately needed.

If you've always crutched on a DoT pressure build then I can understand why you don't think it's valuable, but for a player who's always used burst builds like me, this is valuable.

As Cyrodiil's #1 dot crutch enjoyer, it's important to still have enough burst (and the skill to land combos). Contingency looks promising on pressure builds as a way to compress more dots with missing delayed burst and a missing buff.

Hmm I wonder if this works for the 66% buff to crystal frags. This could get interesting.

Totally called that this ability would be very strong in the PTS. But hope they fix any bugs associated with it.

Also terrified of gankers using this ability.
