Level 99 Relics and Empyreans

[Leonlionheart]

Are you joking? What part of the fact that empyreans are harder to make than relics suggests that they are better than relics? That makes absolutely no logical sense. Not to mention the fact that most relics are now superior to empyreans, and some (bow, gun) were always better than empyreans.

Work = Reward aspect that I believe SE is trying to pursue.

Also, I can count maybe 6 relics that have a chance at beating their empyrean counterparts in a damage aspect. Club, Scythe, Polearm, Dagger(nonstacked), GS(Prime conditions only), and possibly GK(Probably not, but people like to think it's better than Masa.) Even then the difference is slight (other than club and scythe).

Who knows how powerful the 99 Emps or Relics will be? However as of now I'm certain that, at the very least, Kannagi, Almace, Gandiva, Armageddon, Ukonvasara, and Verethragna will still dominate in terms of DPS (only exceptions being, MAYBE, certain Mythics [mainly looking at Conqueror]). Oh, and Ochain is better than Aegis in nearly every way (honestly in mdt+mdb set you shouldn't be taking nearly enough damage to warrant the use of Aegis since WAR and MNK can both survive pretty much every thing there is right now).
