What's the best relic weapon?

[Taskmage]

Ok, so this sounds like one of those newb questions that considers an end result completely out of context of the path to that goal ... because it pretty much is. Basically I'm wondering if you hypothetically had every job at 75 and could chose one job to upgrade one relic weapon for, which one would it be and why? Which weapon is most worth the enormous amount of time and money required to upgrade it to the final stage? If you think none of them are worth it that's a perfectly valid opinion, but for the sake of arguement let's say you could just pick one and have it given to you.

Here's a listing of the stats for reference: http://mysterytour.web.infoseek.co.j...ip/47relic.htm

I'd definitely go Relic Horn. I almost chose Mandau, because it's pretty nifty, and to be honest, I also like Excalibur and Apocalypse, but I just really the Gjallarhorn.

I sure as hell want to witness gate of tarutarus.

Plus dispel effect is kinda nice too. :p

That's fair. I just prefer the other relics is all.^^

Re: What's the best relic weapon?

Aegis. Because it does the tanking job for you ;D

[Stooky]

Re: What's the best relic weapon?

Mjollnir, becuase well it is more or less the best 1 handed weapon in the game ;o
But also like every relic weapon is god like. I just hope I can get my whm 75 or anything 75 atleast... Then I can work on getting one ;o

Re: What's the best relic weapon?

Gungnir, not only does it have Acc+20 making it much easier to hit things, but it also weakens their Def, which helps everyone.

Re: What's the best relic weapon?

I've seen Gate of Tartarus, and to be honest, it's cool, but AM II and even the Tier IV BLM spells look alot cooler. The Refresh effect is kinda neat to, but it's not worth the cost for a staff. Personally, I would take Aegis, Gjallarhorn or Brauva for a practical choice. Now, untimately I would end up taking Annihilator simply because it looks awsome, it's WS is shweet, and I would be able to run around /SAM spamming the WS and making all the newbies in d00nz go "omgwtfbbqkittenz!!!11!11one11!!111eleventy-one11!!!!1!!"

+2 to all songs... ::Drool::

Re: What's the best relic weapon?

For me well . . . Aegis not even a question there , that item really cannot be beat tanking-wise for a PLD in sub slot.

Re: What's the best relic weapon?

Aegis and Gjallarhorn are undoubtedly the most valuable pieces, but I'd still go for the bow (or the gun, for being so damn sexy). Next up would be all the ones with Norse names, because those always sound the coolest.

Re: What's the best relic weapon?

techically aegis and gjallarhorn are not weapons thus shouldn't really be in this poll? relic shield and relic instrument =/= relic wepaon unless you smack people with a harp

If worse comes to worse.

Yochinoyumi, I'm a RNG and love archery nuff said. Actually, no, not enough said. Namas Arrow gives a couple minutes of highly increased ranged accuracy. So you can shoot Namas, follow it up with Barrage and get a virtually guaranteed 7 shot barrage, followed up with a guaranteed Sidewinder. Plus no missing for the next couple minutes.
Do any of the other relic WS's give other hidden effects?

Btw, how does the damage thing work on Excalibur exactly? Like examples of typical damage with it.
