I'd have to disagree on one point that the OP made: making the relic quest line the best available weapon. This is mainly because I'm so far behind(4/12 atmas) and it will take me far longer to complete it since everybody is already past that stage. If SE decides to make the relic weapon the best available weapon in the future, then I'd have no choice but to start at the very beginning and I'm not looking forward to it.
