So I've been using Garuda weapon for a while as I work towards relic but then I noticed this: Garuda's Delay is so much shorter than Relic, Garuda's DPS is recorded to be 16.53
while relic shows 14.74. It was to my understanding that Relic +1 annihilated Garuda weapon, but this data doesn't exactly show it. I'm not accounting for the stats, but even if you do account for the stats, the Relic +1 doesn't seem that much better...

Any thoughts or explanation?
