Seriously. Most of the coments here never crafted it seems. Crafter relics are useless even in the last step. And I dont care about the bonus for expert crafts, as I have no problem crafting those even with current crafted gear. Just money and time sink to get a shiny tool you cant even show off.

Stop justifying bad system just because its in your favourite game. I get battle relics not being bis, as they are simple to get and are usually fun (At least back in ShB). But crafter relic is dull and not even worth as "side class upgrade" stuff.

Relics should be grindy and on par, or at least close to pentamelded gear and added proc is cool, but useless.

Oooh, also also. WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT THE RELIC GETTING BETTER LATER? If I pentameld my gear now, I dont need to give a slightless fuck about some relic step getting better in 8 months or so. So no, "it will get better" is a bad argument, when crafted is better now.
Also I would like more options than just one set of gear give more gear sets centered around craftsmanship or control set and let the relic gear set take longer, as well but Relic gear set that gives up material slots but gives passive
