[dev100x] Relic & Mythic Weapon Adjustments

[Kitkat]

Taking in consideration there are NM that remove or even absorb buffs I can see a point to increasing the -% value of Aegis. I think the thing that upset my friend who has one the most is the fact that the Ochain blocks much more frequently than his Aegis and restores MP.

Also, while I am not a relic owner (yet) I am on the road to finishing one. It has been a long one, but I am a little disappointing to see that another individual I know who has the same Relic I am working on doing thousands less in WS damage compared to Emp weapon of equal type. Even with the "Higher DPS rating", the overall output is significantly lower mainly due to the WS.

It isn't about "reigning on top" so much as the time and effort to complete a relic compared to the time and effort to completing an Emp weapon only to see it do substantially less damage. It is like the Developers circling you, pointing, and laughing in unison for wasting your time to complete the weapon. Not just you, but your LS, friends, and LS members who spent hours, days, weeks, and months helping to finish that relic, all of them share in this circle of shame the Developers have created by giving Emp Weapons the potential to do thousands more damage than Relic weapons. In most cases, even the most "lol" of the Emp Weapon skills still outshine Relic WS in comparison.

Why should weapons from 2004 be on par with gear from 2010?

The only people that are "upset" are the people who are relic owners who use their relic/relics as an excuse to feel they are superior to other players who have yet to obtain one, so lets keep it real here shall we?

It has nothing to do with superiority. It's the simple fact that many relic holders have spent 1-3 years obtaining their relics, only to have the relic outclassed by some weapon that only takes 1-2 months at most to complete. Because the endeavor of attaining a relic is a long one, many players who have finally finished their relic feel that it was unfair (or unjust) of Square to allow a player to sink up to 3 years to obtain a weapon/shield/instrument which was supposed to be the best, only to add something significantly* better (and easier to acquire) shortly after obtaining it.

*Significantly, as in most of the relic weapons don't even come close to being equal or on par with their counterpart empyrean.

I personally have no issue with empyrean weapons being powerful and easy to obtain for casual players as they are now. But Square should at the very least balance these weapons more properly (i.e.: Rather than nerfing anything, just boost the weapons that take more work and dedication to get, which in this case, relics).
