Empyrean weapon needed adjustments

[Auredant]

I agree. Empyreans don't need nerfing. It's nice that people can get an amazing weapon with out killing themselves or spending millions and millions of gil. Relics and Mythics need boosts. They deserve to be on par. Most relic WSs sucked in the first place and now SE puts out weapons that are easier to get, only have 1-3 less base damage, have stat boosts instead of superfluous att or acc and come with an aftermath that puts all relic aftermaths to shame. If you argue that as fair you aren't being objective. With the level 90 update on relics and mythics I'm hopeful that SE is working towards a balance but most weapons and WSs have a LONG LONG way to go before they compete. My heart breaks for Kikoku NINs every time I see a 6k Blade: Hi.

why? can't a nin just dual both...since the emp is so easy to get

I disagree with changing Emp's at all.

In effect currently the power order goes like this:-
Empyrean > Relic > Mythic

Augments / aftermath etc
Empyrean > Relic >=< Mythic (depending on the weapon, some mythics have better augs then their relic counterparts)

Attainability (From easiest to hardest)
Empyrean > Relic > Mythic.

The proper power order based on difficulty to get should essentially be:
Relic > Mythic > Empyrean

Empyreans do not need to be adjusted at all. Relics and Mythics do, drastically. Overpowered or not - I believe some people are forgetting that proud relic owners have essentially spent ~200Mil gil on their weapons. Empyreans have been obtained *practically* overnight.

My vote - buff up relics and mythics for the proud owners out there. Leave us less fortunate people that havnt had the time or patience with the lesser of the 3x ultimate weapons.

Except that Mythics are far more difficult to get than Relic.But yet very few ppl care about that as most have written mythic off as either unattainable or not worth the effort.
