(Concerning Final Heaven) This can be said about basically all relic-imbued weapon skills! Yes, this is the update where non-relic HtH weaponskill damage equations got adjusted. It's fine. Weapon skills imbued from the Relic class of "ultimate" weapons from all of the relic weapons are much more weak compared to their big-brother go-to weapon skills. Final Heaven shouldn't be lumped into the weapon skill bracket of all the other weapon skills that are available without the specific use of a unique item. Those weapon skills made available through the equipment choice of an "ultimate" relic weapon if need to be adjusted should be done so for the entire category of relics.

I'd rather not wait a year and a half for them to finish all the job updates, before circling back to do all the relics. There is absolutely no reason that Final Heaven can't be upgraded right now to match ALL of the other hand-to-hand weaponskills.

Relic weaponskills should be first and foremost. Not last. They should be the best, they're the only ones with special requirements. Final Heaven is currently worse than the very first weaponskill a monk learns. That's asinine.

I agree 100% with your line of thinking. Relic weapon skills should be top-tier due to the limited nature in which they are obtained.
