Should relic stats be tweeked?

[AmyNeudaiz]

Knowing that Primals will work in an entirely different way in 2.0 (unique world-roaming monsters which can be summoned by player companies once-defeated), I can't see this remaining a requirement for Relic weapons after this version ends.

Thus: not worth my time, or anyone's from my point of view.

It's worth my time. I want to experience Ifrit Extreme more than anything since I saw the screenshots and videos. I wanna try it because hard sh*t like that entertains me.
Kinda makes you look silly now doesn't it?

remember the games focus is balance not about being OP like other games so weapons per level cant be super god like in FFXIV.

As we have learned in recent years the casual focused MMO is one doomed to failure. A well balanced MMO which has content for all parts of the spectrum has a much better shot. Although the relic weapons dont' have OMFGWTFBBQ stats they are clear BiS for every respective job, they dont' involve insane time commitment (modest effort but nothing in the relic of FFXI timeframe), and the key point is they are going to be upgradable and the effort were putting in now likely will pay for itself down the road. I dont' expect them to be BiS forever/always but I do think they will be #1 at 2.0 and should stay a top tier weapon far into the future. Think of it as a long term investments.

i feel the same way, relic weapons should be a lot more powerful, although some of those already are good like blm weapon and the gae bolg, i feel that the damage is too close to standard and primal weapons and the stats are not that good to be a really long term goal, for example, the Bard weapon http://www.mooglebox.com/entries/artemis-bow.php has 116 dmg, 40 acc, 15 attack power and -30 enmitty, job effect increases song duration, the dps is only near 42, the most important thing it doesnt have an extra damage like primal weapons and it doesnt have an exclusive powerful weapon skill.

Seeing all the trouble you have to deal to get it, i dont see the big difference on fights, maybe it will do same damage as the Garuda and ifrit bow because those weapons at least have a good dps and an extra damage that im sure it isnt taked into consideration when talking about dps displayed in the weapon.

So yeah i dont feel this weapons have the fair stats considering all the trouble, as i said in other post, the player should be rewarded according to their effort and skill and im not talking about time here, your gear should be noticed instantly not only by looks, but by the numbers you do in every fight, and those numbers should be high enough so everyone else in the party can look forward on getting a relic.

have u seen drg relic yet?
tbh the brd relic is the one that needs a buff
instead of longer duration for songs make it like XI relic for brd
