No. If the relic were equal to savage weapons during that particular patch cycle, there would be no point in any EX primal weapons at all, for starters. Going by the anima weapons and how they progressed, there’s no reason to hand out BiS each patch cycle by doing the same old dungeons we’ve done for years now. The relic becoming BiS stat wise by x.55 or whatever the final patch is works fine.

Besides, 90% of the appeal of relic weapons is glamour.
