Are relic weapons ever going to be useful?

[Goldhawk]

My Nexus is useful right now. If you mean the quest being fun, engaging and well thought out with multiple unique steps with unique challenges created specifically for it with minimal grinding and you actually get to learn the story of your weapon and each step changes your weapon's look (yes I know the "next step" will have that, please look forward to it™), instead of simply adding some cheap glow that takes 5 seconds to create to mask the rehashed model and calling it a day, then yeah, that I have no hope for.

Well, I was unaware that another form of the weapon existed. But to be fair, there's what 6 steps now? Sure you can place whatever stats you would like on it during novus. But take ALL of the weeks/months you spent upgrading this weapon and throw it all away because there's better ways of obtaining similar weapons. I was thinking of putting crit/spellspeed on my novus and when it's all said and done weeks from now and some hundreds and thousands of gil I'll have obtained a weapon I could have just raided for.

THAT doesn't seem worth it at all.
