Seriously, dude, barring Empyrean Weapons (which are, indeed, a problem), you'll still be hard-pressed to find a weapon that performs on-par with a Relic Weapon in terms of raw damage output (and odds are it's a multi-hit weapon in a very specific situation). Perhaps you (among certain other people) are being just a little overly dramatic?
Tamarsamar the WS is the real problem. It's very upsetting for every relic owner, especially font line job, seeing the crazy dmg gap between relic and emp. In terms of raw dmg I agree with you but WS was the main point for relic.
