"I think these trump relic hands. Relic hands only give String Skill and some evasion while these gloves give CHR and less recast down time."
Please check again. Relic hands give 3 wind skill. And also 3 wind skill > 5 chr, especially for buffing
For buffing and debuffing, AF hands (and +1) are most always better than these. These are truly only useful if you need quicker timers for songs like lullaby, or as a macro for finale (which has a very low resist rate)
