Why It goes to RUBY weap is Im assuming (and this is a big assumption) is that at its base - meaning no materia - RBY weapon out damages the Relic weapon, probably by a small to ok margin. Im gonna bet that if it gets mathed out and tested the Relic weapon full melded will probably deal just as much damage as the RUBY weapon. It's only 'worse' in that you expend more resources to make it comparable. This would make sense since, honestly, getting your Stage 1 Relic weap is by and large easier than a ruby weapon.

Also I dont think this is isolated to tanks. Monk Relic Samsara has Crit/det weighted to Crit. RBY is Crit/DH with it weighted to DH. RBY weapons on paper are better. Again though, Pretty sure at the end of the day fully melded isnt going to yield to much difference in damage. 300 DH + 334 Det is gonna match 477 DH most likely.

It's already been mathed out. Every single relic weapon beats Ruby due to the five materia slots. Even Gunbreaker's DET/TEN comes out ahead, albeit by only a meager 15-20 DPS. But the relics on all the DPS are better. Not by any earth shattering difference mind you.
