Unless you're very acc starved, Relic Body +3 is BiS for physical BPs and a major improvement when not pdif capped.

Espiritus doesn't have avatar perp-.

Short of nirvana, the only option are the magian trials staves that no sane person does. those get up to -8

There are i level options that do -5 pretty consistently, gridarvor being the easiest.

Espiritus would fall in line before obtaining a Grioavolr for magic bp damage. and maybe a smn skill staff depending on the path you choose.

Espiritus is only one of two staves with +15 skill and the only reasonable one to obtain.

however, the question was on avatar perpetuation, and espiritus doesn't have any.

You need pretty crazy acc to make it viable. For me, it was a downgrade until I got augmented Nirvana & R25 collar. After your recent post I brushed the dust off it and tried it again, and it does indeed seem ever-so-slightly better. So you may be right that it's BiS, but only if everything else you have is also BiS and fully upgraded/augmented. (Could probably get away with un-augmented Nirvana, as long as you have Kyrene's Earring, capped Collar+2, and at least two Acc+ augments on Helios/Merlinic pieces. I have one Acc and two Atk, personally.)

Also, all of this assumes AM3 is not up because then AF+3 is the clear winner. Therein lies the main reason I wasn't willing to change my augments to accuracy path to accommodate the relic body long ago, because I use the same pieces when AM3 is up and I'd be giving up tons of attack to gain accuracy that I don't need when that AF+3 body is equipped.

So it's a fine balance to strike in my opinion, and I don't think relic body is as fantastic as you make it out to be. It's very difficult to make it work in a way that you aren't giving up more than you gain in the grand scheme.

Wouldn't using relic body push gelos slightly over kyrenes on paper? Then again arguing fractions of a percent.

It would, but I think you need the accuracy too much to go back to Gelos at that point.

I pretty much gear for the hardest content, I don't even care if I could squeeze another 3% more damage out on Zi'tah T1s by having a whole other BP set and toggle for low-acc content. If I did though, it would probably include both the relic body & Gelos.

I started on them years ago, think I finally tossed them when I got back the last time. Was probably almost done with a few too, wouldn't be as bad now with the geodes having gutted in price.

I have all 8... did them back in the day before I made my Nirvana.

If it's just for SMN burning some HELM NMs with SPs then yeah, you will certainly do fine without relic body.
In situations where pdif isn't capped (almost always the case in Dyna D, HTBs, UCNMs, MTs, solo and sometimes in Ambuscade/Omen) it's truly an essential piece to have since crit hits can almost double dmg on BPs. I would probably not have managed to solo Onychophora, Maju, Yakshi, Kam'lanaut or 4 man Tumult Curator if I had not invested in crit pieces for instance.

Ramuh uses Volt Strike.Obstatrix takes 35175 points of damage.
Ramuh uses Volt Strike.Obstatrix takes 29437 points of damage.
Ramuh uses Volt Strike.Obstatrix takes 27795 points of damage.
Obviously not my average dmg but anyone who regularly fights these bosses knows it's hard for SMN to break 12k even with buffs.
