If you don't care how much TP you give a mob, don't care about double light bursts and letting your mages do more damage, then maybe ridill can be better.
Are the relics generally underpowered for their cost, yes, but they're MORE powerful than they appeared in the .dat files. People shouldn't be surprised at the damage they're doing with them, they should be happy they're getting the extra crit damage at all. The guy with full relic ax in our LS as WAR/DRK was doing > 1k weaponskills while triple weakened (his WS agro being WHY he was triple weakened) in Dynamis last week. So it's not like the relics exactly suck either.
