you guys went overboard with this new relic

[Kaurie]

Dang I can't find the link anymore but I'm positive this was last month's population, the one you saw might've been before this.

It said it was uploaded 2 months ago and for October 2015. It literally looked identical (same bar heights etc) but with a different axis value. I guess one of them may have been modified. I was just curious because one suggests the current pop is 320k subs and the other 4x that at 1.3 mil subs.

Wow... everyone appears to be very salty right now regarding the Relic and arguments. Perhaps this video could lighten the mood a bit and put a smile on everyone's faces?

Haha funny video, though the part in it where they say some 200 and 205 weapons are better is very incorrect. Even Ninjas, which arguably is the worst with the horrid stat weight of skill speed for NIN and high stat weight of CRIT, is better to go with the Relic than with Thordan EX weapon. I did the math in another thread, but basically the Relic is roughly 11 DEX worth more than the Thordan. It's not as good as an increase as others, but it's still better.

This one was based off level 60 characters, but I'm looking for it right now through my history.

I main NIN and I hate the stat distributions on my weapons and gear... so much Accuracy and Skill Speed on it. 0.0;

Why can't we have 3 extra stats instead of 2 to maximize our abilities to the best? I wouldn't mind if the i210 Relic Weapon had some customizable stats at least for the time being but I hate having to lose my Determination and Critical Hit Rate on my NIN in place of Skill Speed and Accuracy. I feel like I do less damage than I ought to even if I can hit all the time with the 600+ Accuracy I got but seeing my Determination go from 600 - 700 to around 420 is saddening though my Critical Hit Rate seems alright for the most part and is above 700+ currently.

Though one of my FC did say that NIN primary stats it should focus on is: Weapon Dmg. > Dexterity > Critical Hit Rate > Determination > Skill Speed (I think Accuracy was mention but I can't remember) so when I look at my Eso i200 Weapon with its Critical Hit Rate and Skill Speed stats with the i200 NIN Relic with it's Determination and Skill Speed it seems like the Eso is the better choice to go. Not to mention the A4S NIN Weapon has both Determination and Critical Hit Rate making it the ideal NIN Weapon for me, but I haven't cleared A1S as I have no interest doing Alex Savage if at all.

Friend also mains NIN and the first thing he said when he got his glowy relic was along the lines of "need a prism to glamour it to my Eso weapon". Not sure which skill he had issues with exactly, but yeah - get the weapon and immediately not even use it, kinda awful if you consider the details. Other MNK friend also did the same thing, equipped his Eso weapon back and glamoured the relic on it.
