MNK Relic +1 (Zenith) vs Hellish Claws

So im about to upgrade to relic +1 on my MNK but wondering if just saving the tomes and going for the hellish claws. The claws looks really good considering the skill speed is dropped from the +1 and you get 26 DET. The hellish claws are harder to get but they just seem better in every way. Opinions? The +1 does have more ACC which I lost from my allagan pants.

Hellish Claws:

Strength +31
Vitality +35
Accuracy +26
Determination +26

+1 Relic:

Strength +31
Vitality +35
Accuracy +37
Skill Speed +26

Zenith IMO. It's going to be a long while before you get Hellish Claws.

Primals aren't that bad. If you have a solid raid group, depending on your overall gear you might want to hold off. But the primal fights do have several dps checks through them so if you're undergeared then you might need to upgrade your weapon first to be able to perform properly on the fights.

Honestly, I would just go in with your most geared class, try to beat the EM primals and exchange for the Hellish Claws. It might take you a couple weeks to down all of them but you save 2 weeks worth of myth to use on other stuffs.

You're going to have to go through the Hard Mode Primals on the way to Extreme, so you might as well grab your Relic(+1) along the way. The Hellish Claws are indisputably better, but having the Relic in the first place will help you get through the Extreme Primals.

I think the real question is if you have a group you can go with that's skilled enough to actually kill all the EX Primals.

I just asking here:
I'm not near beating the EX for now. So, what if I beat all of them? Can I only choose one weap for forever? (cuz there isn't a specific weap quest like the relics one).

I have Zenith weap with MNK, but I also sub BRD, which only have the normal relic. I like to have Hellish Claws, but I don't plan to upgrade the BRD weap any time soon, so I might go with the EX Bow then as well. :/

You get to choose a new weapon each week. You can only get 1 weapon per week.

I never left. I never leave. I just wait in the shadows... watching. Always watching.

I'd say go with relic for one reason, relics are upgraded over time and primals ex weapons are not upgrade able. Think in 2.2 relics gonna get anther upgrade then in 2.3 there will be anther bis weapon over relic, the relic is gonna get anther upgrade in 2.4 that's the way yoshi explained it but relics will always be on top at the end.
