Comparable certainly, but we don't need the same old weapons dominating. Enough with the Zilart-era gear.
The fact is SE has already powered up the Relics via the level 90 versions by increasing the WS power. In fact, Amanomurakumo is only just barely second to Masamune because of Masamune's aftermath - Kaiten & Fudo are very close in performance with the 90 version.
Mythics were never meant to be high DPS weapons either. Their intent was to enhance their respective jobs, which some like Yagrush & Kenkonken do exceptionally well.
