You ignored the guys question. Why is dnc mythic fine, but mandau dnc unbalanced, when mandau is significantly worse? Both will become upgrade-able in the same update.

I can't understand that, either. It's not like a DNC would even want to use Mercy Stroke.
Okay, so you don't understand how Mythics work.
That's okay, but get off this tip about mandau on DNC being OP.
EDIT: worth noting that you kill things faster with Mandau because delay is more valuable than DMG on a dagger job when big WS hits are dramatic overkill. You'd probably do even better with Jugo +1/Jugo.
Why would they boost relic WS damage and not touch Mythic WS damage?That's assuming they don't buff the hidden relic WS damage boost again.

Some people just can't give up on their relics of the past. Mandau is bad. It once was good, but it's bad now.
I still use my mythic, but really I doubt that they will make the relic dagger good again. White damage isn't what it used to be and since the current proposed relics aren't getting any attribute bonus I would say Taming Sari will still have Mandau beat for main hand, and off hand it will probably lose all it's perks so it's still just something to style lock with. I could see some other relics being good though. Katana comes to mind with the magic damage being added to all of them, and then ninja will have a decent option for fragmentation.
Taming Sari, being amazing even for a SR weapon, may still beat Mandau for mainhand with max augs (though maybe not, given Mandau's mammoth delay advantage?) and will certainly beat it for the offhand, but even if you make the dubious assumption a max aug Taming Sari is trivial (Rule #1 of random loot is that it will always disappoint you; I've seen one TS in about 80 SR runs, which is why I MH Enchufla), DNC is not the only post-RoZ job. Many BLUs, CORs, PUPs, and RUNs would be grateful for Relic access as well.

If they increase the hidden WS damage boost on relics, there is no reason to assume they won't do the same thing on mythics.
Which means that Pyrrhic Kleos is still going to be doing more damage.
For your information, Mercy Stroke has a 5.0fTP and an 80% STR Modifier.
Pyrrhic Kleos is 4 hits at 1.75fTP, with 40%STR/40%DEX Modifier.
Assuming capped hit rate (which, if you're wielding RME and going into things without capped hit rate, there's things wrong here), Mercy Stroke at 119 has an effective fTP of 7.0, which is what Pyrrhic Kleos gets base without even having the mythic. With a 119 Terpsichore, Pyrrhic Kleos has an effective fTP of 9.1, and that's before you even stop to consider multiattack, let alone Mythic AM3, which can proc on WSes.
There is absolutely no reason for a Dancer to use Mercy Stroke.
