In the recent kdn patch we all know (if you care) for supports a huge inc in cd's on support skills. Focusing mainly on saint for a second two of our big (main) dps skills are our relic reaction and our awakened holy burst. Both deal dmg based on number of relics available. With the new update, we lose out on having a consistent 3 to 4 relics out at a time. Even with holy burst and grand cross dmg increase, blessed sign and new antiphona pool system, that is a sizeable loss in dmg. There are only 5 main burst dmg skills that saint have and 2 of which are relic reliant. Wouldn't it be okay to either decrease cd of Lightning relic or make it so more drop with awakening either around the main relic or each smaller relic drops minimum of 2 more relics all generating electric field. Without perm cure relic and 8s heal relic, it won't be possible or effective to keep out relics to get good burst in every 15s and 25s. I get they are limiting support skills (heal/tank) into momentary decision skills but saint is a support class whose whole tree is nothing but relics. Make the main one, lightning relic, a little more helpful or re look into revamp to make it less relic reliant. This makes our relic skills half assed. Either buff up the dmg of them/give more relics to use or reduce dmg and give more support back. Also, side note, could there be a consideration or something about class mastery 1 please. Not only is movement speed +30% not really helpful for a class like saint, but its worse that the buff is only 5s duration while the animation for summoning relics is at least 1s to 1.5s of that time. Basically getting movement speed for only 3s. Doesn't really help much.

Oh on the not enough relics out on the field for relic reaction part that's simple.
You dont need Cure/Heal/Bind for relic reaction to do dmg. It's meh dmg.
Lightning relic is all you need (Bind relic +20% modifier also helps) not just because its a skill with four relics.
But it has a special modifier to boost skill damage that revolves around the relic (Holy Burst and relic reaction)
You can see for yourself when you cast grand sigil, bind relic, cure relic and heal relic only and see the dmg from relic reaction is very very much weaker than if you just used lightning relic.
You should technically save those relics for when you need them or to weave in after all your other dps skills are down. Otherwise if you are trying to use your entire arsenal of relics for the sake of holy burst and relic reaction, you are actually doing WAY less dps than you could if you used your rotations more efficiently with Anitphona pool (Our #1 dps skill believe it or not) and blessed sign (Our fourth most strongest) then grand cross (Our fifth).
