What SHOULD a relic step be?

[Raoabolic]

I'll say it...
there should be a step that involves your Squadron. Yes, this is the hill I will die on along with my beloved toppled, unused LoV machines!

Allow me to do what I like doing in the game, if the devs cannot provide anything engaging to do (fates are not engaging and neither is spamming CEs/fates in OC).

The problem of relics isn't that they're a grind, it's that they rely on excruciatingly mind numbing pieces of content, so if we can't have anything actually fun with good shelf life (like pvp or actual rogue lites) then I'd rather be able to pick what I like doing.

I am fine with poetics.

The problem is that gear doesn't affect your skills in any meaningful way than crit + 0,5% etc. I rather have them focus on talent trees or gear that changes how we use our skills. They just need to remove the dust from the PvP trait system in 2.x and implement it for PvE with a relic traitpoint system
