Do Relic, Mythic, and Empyrean staves lack utility?

Not every SMN has Hvergelmir.

You don't really need that either, from an MP standpoint. SMN MP is easy to manage...

I only got SMN to 90 for kicks and giggles, and never use it for any practical situations.

Then you're in no position to comment on topics like this.

There isn't anything you can't kill with a few SMN in some way or another.
