Just because a "best option" exists doesn't mean there aren't options.
You obviously forget that this is Final Fantasy XI, land of the everybody go /NIN and home of the lolJOB.

I would have accounted for the 3 times more damage if how often it proc'd were known.
Maybe not so much?

Yellow Mage: Ah, I see.
Yellow Mage: Would /Galka give you thick fat? XD
Armando: Yes, unless it's a Galka DNC, then it has a chance at having own tempo.
Armando: In Soviet Russia, L Cancels you.
Yellow Mage: Smashing like it's 1999.

Sure, but those elitist attitudes don't apply to a rdm's choice of weapons because people dismiss us as soon as we draw a sword without even checking to see what it is. XD
I don't get it though, if you do obtain Nagi, how do you duel wield two of them like it was shown? You can't just have one..
Even the galka didn't have only one.
Maybe it's not rare? Just ex? Or maybe there's a second one with a different name sorta like the unji/unsho set..? Maybe they arn't even rare/ex..
Anything to make Dynamis less painful. There is no good reason for the Dyna relics to be that hard to get. Challenges are all well and good, but when it takes well over a year to get one item in a game, and only those whore are extremely wealthy, well that's just plain silly.
I don't so much mind time as a factor (with the exception of the above as that's just obscene I don't care what SE says) so much as I can't stand the money barrier. If I knew I could get my hands on an Amanomurakumo if I just kept working at it for a few hours a day for however long it took, I might do it. But not when it's going to run me well over the 100,000,000 that this jackpot may grant.
EDIT: Yeah I've had my suspicions about that one BBQ. It's definitely going to be tied into these new avatars we're getting I think (PLEASE be Odin and Alex > <;;; if they can bend the rules for Diabolos they can do it for anyone) or perhaps another Apocalypse-Nigh type event. Maybe even a new expansion who knows.
SE overdid it with Dynamis relics and they know it, specially considering how unimpressive the relic's stats are compared to the pain it requires to get them.
I just hope they don't make the same mistake twice, but then again no matter how easy they are to obtain I'll probably never get one anyway. I'm pretty close to quitting the game as it is.

Well, way I see it is WotG already has some connections laid out, particularly if you've seen that taru with the "Flame Giant"around in West Sarutabaruta talking about having visited the "other side" in the Near East. But if it happens anywhere, it has to be from Nyzul.
Also you never know, Phoenix could get ninjaed a way in as a summon, seeing as WotG is in the past where she hasn't died yet. If she has a bond with anyone from the Far East in the expansion, its not impossible that Pheonix could happen.
Though my bets are on Cait Sith as a summon, that one is just too amusing to resist.

It's not impossible anyway. Not staying dead is what phoenixes *do*. It's pretty much their defining trait as a species. I think she'll be back in the Far East expansion (which there will be eventually, I bet, even though lots of people expected it this time and we didn't get it).
There is no good reason for the Dyna relics to be that hard to get.
Yes. There are.
Relics are supposed to be rare. There's supposed to be only one or two of each on a server and they're supposed to go to only those who can put in that absurd amount of commitment, both finacially and time wise, to obtain. Infact SE specifically said, many many many times, that the reason Dynamis is still so expensive and the reason why AC only drops in there and so few at a time is because they don't want too many people getting these items. Hell they even said that one of the biggest reasons they went after the ingame inflation so many years ago was because of how easy it was getting to obtain Relics and that most of the ones on each server came about at that time.
Relics are a goal for the truely determined, and if you're whining because of the two biggest limitations, both of which come down to having absurd amounts of patience, then you're not one of those people meant to have a Relic Weapon.
And if either Odin or Alexander get made into callable pokemon-wannabe pets, then I'll be done with this game. These two characters are major plot devices in the ToAU storyline. They're not like Diabolos, who acts at best like a random and unneeded boss fight, but instead those two are the driving force behind all the events through out the ToAU missions. Hell, I don't even think Alexander is even an Avatar in this story line anyway and Odin already has his end game battlefield so I doubt, thankfully, that either of them will ever be toys of the Summoners.
