An idea for Anima Weapon fix

[Taei]

Here is an idea for fixing the anima weapon so that both raiders and non-raiders would be satisfied.

Keep the relic weapon a grind, match the item level with alex savage, but also give it the option to upgrade it with the alex last turn item to 5 levels above the raid weapon.

So as an example.

Both Gordian and Anima are at 210. Give the anima weapon an upgradeable option to 215 with the gobdip from Alex Savage 4.

This way both raiders and non-raiders can get a high level weapon but it also gives raiders a reason to do the relic as well.

Uhm...I'd say currently the bigger issue is to get people interested in raiding, rather than raiders interested in other content.

Not only that... I'd hate to see the worst option of the three 210 weapons available to me being forced upon me as a BiS upgrade. I would imagine that because of pure stat weights, a 215 ninja anima weapon would still be weaker (or at best case scenario, barely better) than the gordian baselard. Wasting a gobdip that someone else could use for a far better option for some other DPS job.

I really don't see why raiders are complaining so much since se thinks the best weapons should only be given in raids which to me makes relic weapons completely pointless to even go after.

Also I don't understand the point in SE even making relic weapons for the same reason. By the time you even get a relic weapon they are useless. So SE I have a ? for you I hope you will answer if you are gonna make relic weapons why will you not make them relevant for the content. I mean why make a relic weapon at all if your gonna then turn around and make them so they will be replaced by weapons from raid content. With the raid content weapons having a higher level and all. Truly what's the point in having them at all.

Their primary purpose is a catch up weapon for non-raiders who can't obtain weapons/upgrade items due to lack of desire for raiding or skill.

Right there in the sticky. Reading comprehension is a lost art.

As a raider... no thanks. I think the relic should be kept completely separate from raiding, as it always has been.

[Kogasan]

I agree relic should be kept separate but problem is I don't think relic should be outclassed by raid. Raid weapons being at a higher item level to me makes relic obsolete. So therefore imo what's the purpose of even working for a relic. Because I don't see any point when I can just get a raid weapon and not bother with the relic at all. I think they should think really good and hard and make relic something more then a dumb catchup weapon so to speak. SE please make more use to the relic weapon then just a dumb catch up weapon I beg you. Also making relic weapon just a catch up weapon imo equals wasted content that could be used on more relevant things.

You can only get the raid weapon of you clear Alexander Savage 4. Most people never will. A hell of a lot of people never finished any of the Binding Coils either while the weapons that dropped in them were relevant.

The Anima/Zodiak weapons are for people who cant 'just get a raid weapon'. Its hard getting those weapons. Even now Gordian weapons are something I don't see very often and this is close to 6 months since the raid was released. The Anima weapons suit there function fine.
