At high levels of DEX (~400+), any increase in base weapon damage provides a significant increase in average WS dmg. If you are comparing an upgrade from DL to AF2, the +1 relic will generally win. If you are comparing an upgrade from AF1/Toxotes to AF2, there is a chance that AF2 may win barely, but it's unlikely if the rest of your gear is strong and it may be more efficient to +1 the weapon and upgrade the AF1/Toxotes piece to DL (legs and hands are exceptions). I ran the math in several scenarios and the +1 Weapon was generally the winner. I did a test example below using AF2 Body vs. +1 Weapon. +1 Weapon was better, but AF2 legs are a great piece and may win slightly; can't redo the math until I get home and look at my stats again.
