The one handed weapons are simply incredibly lackluster compared to RME's. Halachuinic Sword for instance has maybe 10~20% over the Magian PDT sword.
A 40% damage boost. Really easy to make your point when you pull numbers out of your ***.

Surely you're not going to tell us -now- that Almace's damage output all of a sudden wasnt that big, because... there wouldnt have been a reason to exclude anyone over it before then. Ofcourse not, it did crazy amounts of damage more. Especially during aftermath. With a really good WS to boot.
Way to pick the strongest old weapon upgrade in the game, with unique, extenuating circumstances, and compare it to one of the weakest of all the delve weapons. Try putting it up to a fair comparison, like
this. Quote:
Sure, i'll give you that the Great Sword performs decently, but it's nothing a (decently geared) Ragnarok wielder wouldnt be able to equally match.
Nope, bereaver puts you quite a bit ahead of ragnarok. All of the delve weapons do, with the exception of the nuking staff, because mages just HAVE to carry 16 weapons at all times. Your "examples" from
the other thread earlier up this page about you doing 1.8k resolutions with bereaver vs 10,000+ scourges from some other unnamed DRK don't exactly lend any credence to your credibility here. Because they were outright lies.

That all said, you guys seem to put such weight on how it's "Oh so hard to get a Emp" when only weeks before these things got introduced every single one of you was bragging "Oh, i can get one Emp done in a week". On top of that, you can farm up the currency/gil for a complete Relic in Dynamis and with a little Voidwatch/HELM on the side in a little under Two Months. Same amount of time if you want to buy your Heavy Metal Plates and get Emp to 99.
Now, yes. What about all those folks who put in 5 years of work and 5 years of work from 5-63 of their friends to make one before? To make what is both in story and mechanically designed to be the very best weapons ever. Relic weapons are crafted from the living souls of heroes and were the last best hope to stop the world from falling into the clutches of the beastmen hordes. They are sentient, speaking, growing things with a mind and history of their own. Mythics are arcane artifacts so powerful that the fates of nations were decided by who wielded them, and when. Bhalran collecting them all was the only reason Aht Urghan even exists! Even Empyrians are the personal armory of King Kupofried, as little story as we have on that.
And they were replaced by something you can get in a day, which is a mass produced weapon some guy hands out to everyone who knows to ask for it. Weapons that themselves will be made obsolete again in 6 months when the next event comes out.
