And primal weapons still cater to those without relic.
That would be interesting if the string of events happened as follows...

Relic weapon is the best weapon.
New primal fight is released.
New primal weapons are slightly better than (or comparable to) the relic weapon.
New relic upgrade is released soon after.
Upgraded relic is the best weapon.

Rinse, repeat.
