Relic weapons for Stormblood?

[Jeycht]

Between a i260 weap and a i275, it was not only for ilvl, the i275 was way better stat wise.

It’s only real improvement was the extra 20 strength but that was largely offset by the 133 crit which was worth a lot more than 99 skillspeed plus the augmented 270 version offset the strength deficit whilst still providing a large contingent of both det and crit making the 270 superior to the 275 and a solid alternative while you waited for the release/finished work on the 275 relic which was ultimately, the best spear in the game

So no I wouldn’t have used the Alexandrian metal spear if you paid me

I guess you were a far better player than all these players in top or even the guy that does all the math. I bow before you.
The difference between the tomestone weap 270 and alex was 8.906 more str for the alex (if you convert all stat in str, weight base)
The weap damage and str alone was 22 str more and SS wasn't a dead stat on DRG when that allowed you to add 1 more hit before the boss went away (happened a lot on last 2 turn).
Btw, if you read my post, you will see that I talked about the 275 vs 260, I wasn't planning to be a low dps for months before being able to do the relic or have the items to upgrade my weap (especially when I already have a 275, better weap, than all other players in my team).
Again, I talk about what happened to me and not everyone who are not doing raid or doing them in a slower path that allowed them to wait MONTHS.

Now if you like being behind because you think your stat are better "muh crits!", well good for you. The only good thing you said in that last post "270, solid alternative" that was, indeed (but still lower than the 275) only if you were able to have the items to upgrade the weap or didn't have the 275 already.
Time to talk about the topic now. Didn't thought I'll meet someone without any clue about stat weight.

My only hope is that the gear will atleast looks good and not the actual 290 that you can dye. I wonder what will be the ilvl, 350? they can't go higher without hurting the next craft I guess.
