Dynamis was one of if not the single worst designed end game content in the game, and it's nice to see they're (finally) taking steps towards fixing it, but I still don't see why Relics & Mythics should be equal to Empyreans. 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.
Per your interpretation I then don't understand why they WHM cure V and VI, nor any job upgrade after 2004.
