What? Presumably, anyone doing a relic/mythic - especially mythic because of the time spent on tokens and ichor - will have spent a fair bit of time on the job they're doing the weapon for, hence their decision to do it. Now, if someone is doing a relic, it also implies they like their job a hell of a lot, and want to be, y'know, above average at it at the very least (and yes I'm being generous here). As such, a tiny bit of research to look into, say, how Quick Draw works, or why you still need shield gear after Aegis, or how to gear for Cata and Kaiten's aftermaths - this is not asking much. The information is all out there, all you have to do is look and ask, you don't have to do any groundbreaking research.
If you're doing a relic/mythic you are not a casual player, and I expect more of such a person than of someone who only logs on for events and slides by doing the minimal amount of effort.However, not everyone plays this game with the same intensity

For the record, i'm not saying the COR had no idea that obis affect QD dmg, but it's ridiculous to assume he didn't based off of one SS.
At least Tsuko doesn't just lie about who his character is, what gear it has, and about the fact that he bought it these days.
That's a step in the right direction.
Didn't you mention not having Dusk Gloves +1 and Speed Belt on getting your Amanomurakumo? I mean, I wouldn't drop 14 million on Ares's Cuirass over Apocalypse and a Haubergeon +1, don't imagine I'm trying to defend this guy, but isn't it accepted that people will forego some of their shinies for the more important one right now?
If I say I'm not going to hurt you, and then punch you in the face, does that mean my first comment is still true? No, because my further actions have demonstrated that I wasn't being honest. You are subconciously defending him by trying to be a dick to Failure.
Not to mention you didn't even do your research, noting that your entire argument is null because he does have a Hauberk+1, he's just too stupid to use it properly.
Nirvana finished! Thanks to the countless people who helped with Toau Kings; to my nyzul/assault group for captain, nyzul, and the redo quests (Griselda, Coraphane, Drahkir, Hitokiribatousi, Ryoji); to my Einherjar shell for owning Odin again and again; to all my salvage shells for the boss wins; to everyone that gave/sold me Alexandrite; to my friends/ZNM shells for the trophies! I had my doubts at times, but I'm glad I stuck with it!

Gogo SMN!
All right rak! I see the Sara hide finally dropped for ya, congrats.
And? You are defending the guy. He's using stupid gear, yet you keep trying to change the topic. I'm not saying every relic user should have perfect gear, and nobody else is either. But throwing out bullshit about what the average player should have is uhh, stupid. Which was my only point. If you get an Apoc with perfect gear sans Ebody, I'm okay with that, but wear something intelligent in it's place. And don't have 18 other problems on your gear at the same time...
a small token of my eternal love
