And even if the relic weapon ends at i210 (which I doubt) with 3.15 it will probably still be BiS over anything else available. I doubt that they would make you go through the grind of making your relic weapon and then have it's secondary stats be something that is incompatible with the best possible stat build you could have. Meaning gobdip will still be used only for alt jobs unless you're a person who doesn't feel like doing the relic grind.
So brace yourself coz not all anima weapons will be bis just like it was in 2.x uuntil players eventualy make them by grinding and materia implementing.
