2.6.0	Sweep gains 1 additional unit of radius every 5 levels. No longer gain increased area of effect radius.
2.4.0	15% more damage at gem level 20.
2.1.0	Attack skills that have their damage based on the wielded weapon have their mana costs fixed in place from level 1 onwards. Sweep's radius has been reduced by 8%.
2.0.0	Area of effect increased by 30% (from 20 to 26), and no longer knocks enemies back beyond the max radius. Sweep is now affected by weapon speed, but has a Less Attack Speed modifier.

0.9.10	Removed knockback distance increase. Changed quality bonus to attack speed.
0.9.9	Reduced mana cost.
0.9.7	Normalised the balance so that there isn't such a large disparity. Sweep now hits in a full circle again (rather than a 300 degree arc).
0.9.2	Increased the damage of Sweep. Changed Sweep's quality bonus from knockback distance to increased attack speed. Sweep is now affected by increased area of effect stats.
0.9.1	Reduced damage of Sweep at lower levels.
