lolRelic Weapon? SE what have you done?

Apoc was never that great and now it's even worse compared to what else is out there, it's one claim to fame is also gone. Since it's aftermath is +10 gear haste and haste is so easy to cap even that is out the window.

Catastophe was never a good WS, other WS do far more damage. I've seen plenty of apocs in action and they are far from impressive.

Catastrophe does awful damage, even in Abyssea. And it's miss rate is outrageous. But it has never been about the damage for Catastrophe. It's been about the haste and the HP recovery. If you take it solely for the DMG, you will be disappointed for sure.
