Items Database Updated! - Are the new weapons worth it?

[Noctore]

So I was looking over the new items in the lodestone database and comparing stats to endgame weapons(i80+). To me it seems that some of the new primal weapons are rather useless or rather a slight downgrade from ones we already have. Also, with the titan weapons level increase, some of the relics are falling slightly short. Overall, I like having the variety of different weapons now. However, it's hard to say how it will play out when we have to target specific weapons for an optimal build.

For Example: I think I would use titan weapon over relic for war now. And, the Dual Haken seems to be used for DPS since the lack of parry.

What is your take on these changes and what weapon are looking forward to using now?
(I know each class varies with these changes.)

BRD bow is obviously amazing. However, I'm not sure I could deal with the loss of accuracy. I'll have to play around with gear sets, but it's potentially better than even allagan bow.

Why'd they change "+1" to "Zenith"?

Taking a look at the DRG and PLD weapons (only 50s I have), so Break Blade and Holy Lance... both of them are worthless compared to their Relic +1 counterparts.

My dad will be happy about Omnirod though... those stats seem well optimized vs. the lolspellspeed on the Thyrus +1.

All of the primal tank accessories are junk when compared to their allagan counterparts, but I can't complain too much as I have full allagan on the right and just need a little more accuracy to put on the ring. As a PLD, I honestly have no reason to do EX primals, but will do them to help my FC mates get upgrades.

Most of these new i90 weapons blow relic zenith out of the water. The Break Blade is the only terrible one. Holy Lance and SMN/SCH books are meh. Then you have the Elder Staff and the Dual Haken which are absolutely amazing.

I definitely like the more variety of weapons, going in the direction of not, oh this one is just better. Getting to look at the stats and say im going to use one over the other.

Am I seeing things or is the Extreme Primal staff for BLM BiS?

I've also noticed that the best pvp sword in the game is a re-used skin(giantsgall) where as the one before it is a brand new skin. Makes no sense!

Because +1 +2 and so on are kinda boring.

No, you are seeing right. That thing is absolutely amazing.
