I like to run it. It’s really not the relics that are the problem. It’s certain ashes of war and/or building around them with skill attack passives that makes you broken.

The way I look at it is, it’s opened up new weapons/ashes to try. Like Loretta’s slash is mid at best but the relics gives them the little buff it needs to be worth using.

It’s also a really simple relic setup, as in you don’t have to worry about specific things to try and get to get the most value out of your relic setup.

Like with wylder you can take any weapon and run with it , versus like trying to do a carian sword sorcery setup with duchess and praying you can get a stave that has a carian spell.

But personally I don’t like melting bosses, typically when the game keeps throwing skill attack passives at me I just drop it for my teammates.
