Light farming is already the worst part of every relic. Adding even more RNG to this step is insult to injury. I don't think anyone sane was clamoring for random stats on a relic weapon.
they made it so that you could almost "break the mold" by having good luck on rolls for stats. if we could choose then the final relic wouldn't be any better than omega weapon's substats number spread.
