The new weapons are more for people who want them on other jobs, not people who need one in the first place.

If you look at them you will notice that for some jobs relic +1 is better, and for others the Extreme Mode Primal Weapon is better. You should get what's best, or have one first.

Sure you can do the Extreme Modes with a relic dps, but not 4 relic dps.

To be honest though, im an il86 Paladin and I still die to this fight sometimes from double wicked wheel if it's timing is off due to low dps. So having low dps is definetely an issue. If DPS does not kill chirada fast enough Double Wicked Wheel goes off before Garuda and Suparna jump, making it hard to anticipate without a timer macro. And said timer macro is generally off by 3 or 4 seconds, still making it hard to anticipate. But if dps get's chirada low fast enough Garuda and Suparna jump before double wicked wheel and double wicked wheel 2 seconds after they return, making it easy to pop sentinel or rampart + forsight for. I have 6700+ HP and sometimes Double Wicked Wheel + melee attack immediately basically one shots me. Popping cd's for it is a necessity.
