Relic +1 or Myth Armor?

For 900 Myth tomes, the DRG Relic +1 seems incredibly underwhelming.

Regular Gae Bolg is 44 DMG / 45.76 Auto /3.12 Delay /27 STR / 30 VIT / 33 ACC / 23 Crit
Unless the DB is lying, +1 is just +2 DMG / +2 Auto / +4 STR /+5 VIT / +4 ACC / +3 Crit

Upgrading from something like Darklight Cuirass to Wyrm's Armor (for about 825 tomes) is +9 STR / +11 VIT / + 6 Determination / +24 Crit


Unless I'm missing something and +2 DMG is actually an ass ton of damage, why is +1 recommended over Myth armor again? :r

2DMG 4STR is far far better than 9STR (and misc. stuff)

Weapon Damage is the strongest stat in the game for damage. I've heard estimates of each point being worth anywhere from 5 points of your main stat to 10+.

The only DPS who shouldn't go for Relic+1 ASAP is possibly Bard, because they only gain +1 Weapon Damage.

Both are good pieces but as it stands AF1 can be supplemented by Allagan. So test your luck in coil for your DRG body and mold your i90s around that before going all "BiS" wonky.
Relic+1's for all classes, aside from Bard of course, are more preferred because they cater well to the class unlike some AF1 that can be swapped out for Allagan, and have the lowest chance of being replaced
anywhere in the near future.
