DPS check for Extreme Primals

Use a job with relic +1 to get another job's EX primal weapon.

I main black mage mage. I had this same question. I decided it was worth it to upgrade my relic to help me get the extreme weapon. I'm still on Garuda EM, but now duty finder groups have enough DPS about 90% of the time instead of 70% of the time. Upgrading your weapon is probably the best thing you can do to increase your DPS to make up for weaknesses in other party members. For example, most Ultima HM groups I join lack the DPS to kill it in time (it's actually mostly because DPS die too much if I were to be honest and not skew things), but I have been in an Ultima HM farm group that killed it before the enrage timer started (even with a couple of DPS deaths). My DPS is alright, I was even complimented on it last night, but you can't always be sure the other DPS will be good.

So this is the best answer if you want less stress and aren't clearing EM primals with a geared, skilled, static group:
