If you want to go for BiS, its useless to burn tier IV materia on a novus, go for T9 instead.

And it will be the same with the next zodiac stage, there will always be another weapon with a better ilvl.

Yes, that is indeed true. Regardless though, if people go for Novus they should get the best possible options out of it, or they are wasting Time/Gil/whatever.
