If you actually calculate a relics stats to something of similar item level of the same class.
The stat increased is negligible. If you sneeze, you can waste that little extra dps a relic gives you.
On Exodus I had a friend with the Relic since 2.3 upgraded to the max always and I realized this.
Regardless of the max you get the relic pre patch, it always gets outdone with a new easier to acquire weapon next patch. Now with the Novus, it raises to third place, but the unweathered weapon and High Allagan weps are still both better than it. Again comes the rebuttal of "Yeah, but the Novus will continue to be upgradeable!" Yes, but every time there has been a tier upgrade in weapons, the Relic path still isn't top tier. Ramuh may even drop weapons that are comparable or better than Novus.Â
SHIVA drops ilvl 110 weps that can turn into ilvl 115 weps, that's already higher than animus and on par with Novus.
Patch 2.5 you'll be able to easily get the 120 - 130lb weps easier probably. Even if you can't change the stats, 1 or 2 extra stats in one area isn't gonna significantly change or break your dps or aggro holding.
Much less work for higher game.
Relics just seem like a time killer. Tbh.
