Are the relic/anima weapons even trying anymore?

[RobbieH]

Relics as of now they're just Glamours, i wouldn't bother with them unless you want the Glamour.

No matter if you're casual or hardcore it's the same, they're just glamours, even for people who clear A8S it's useless, it's lower ilvl than Midas weapons, even for those who got i240 Lore it's useless since they came out 3 months later.

The i240 Anima would have been relevant if it was released in 3.2, even for casuals it brings little to no meaning besides being a Glamour, most casuals don't even raid, so they don't need the difference in DPS from i230 to i240, that is if they can even DPS properly to see the difference.

If you really want the Glamour but you don't like a step all you can do is wait for nerf.

That's a very queer way of thinking, since not everyone raids. Not to mention, I'm expecting the final stage of the relic to ultimately match the power of the other end game weapons that'll be available, as it has done so before.

Gonna quote what i said:

Yep. But that doesn't stop me from responding to the glamour part... or the raid part, or literally what comprises most of your post. I should probably be clear that I wasn't arguing or attacking your post, so unsure of how I should take the snap response here.

The Sultan's Fists slowly grew on me, if anything they could at least make the blades longer so they look like scythes when unsheathed.

That being said, I'm interested to see what the Hellfire Striker set looks with the Zeta Kaiser Knuckles.

Says waiting for a nerf like lol, asks if the relic/anima weapons are even trying anymore. Awwww, bless ya'.

Wow thismsure took off fast... can't tell if a few people are mocking me or not for asking the question, but such is the life of a forum.

From what I've seen they are all gorgeous. Sounds like OP has relic envy.

I have no envy at all, I could care less actually. I'm a casual, and since I am not raiding or doing extreme primals no real reason for me beside an end goal. And beside my anima is the Scholar one and it is ugly in my opinion. Why is the quill attached to the side, and not the cover?

I am waiting for the crafted item step to be nerfed since I don't wanna spend god knows how much for 1 anima. But since the other steps can be done simultaneously, guess what I've been doing, lol. Also I never asked if they were "even trying" I just asked if they felt overy designed or not to other players. Some people have responded saying they do feel overly designed at certain stages.

I didn't get the i240 SCH relic but... why the feather (ink quill) is so big o_o

I agree, what is up with the quill.

Relics are invaluable for healers, especially if they're raiding. The accuracy you can meld on it means we can finally stop missing without using half overmelded accessories.

I'd actually recommend NOT putting accuracy on a healer relic. If a person already has accuracy melded, then it serves no real puropose other than re-melding all your gear. And when next tier rolls out, the accuracy relic will only see use until the first weapon upgrade is available. Likely a 250 Triad weapon on 3.4 launch, or worst case a couple weeks into the tier for a new tome weapon. At which point anyone pushing content will place the relic on a retainer until 2 months before 4.0 when the relic steps catch up to final Alexander ilvls, and have to meld accuracy on all their gear anyways. Anyone more concerned with saving gil than pushing content can certainly use their accuracy relic to heal with all the way until the other 6 members of a group have 270 weapons, and the only people left for a final Gobdip would be the healers, but at that points you'd again have to remeld gear for accuracy.

IMO it's easier and more flexible to just put your best healing secondaries on the relic, and not have anything holding you back from upgrading your weapon when the opportunity arises.
