So why are the crafter relics.. bad.

I'm not complaining that relics are not better, I'm saying you shouldn't put down potential gear ideas because you're basing gear solely on marketboard gear.

It's asinine you think that. Oh relics are braindead? Then put crafting gear in savage content if you feel like that's challenging enough, lol. Marketboard garbage should never be bis and should not be balanced around either, it's sole purpose should be filler gear.
