Returning player here, working with some older gear, but I have a question: I have noticed that, playing on BLU and PLD, Savage Blade is destroying Requiescat for damage (averaging just shy of double what I'm getting on Requiescat).

At the moment I'm basically using the full Shneddick +1 set while I start to feel around again, but this seems odd to me. Was Savage Blade adjusted in recent years?

Thanks!

Yes, in 2014. They changed Savage Blade fTP from 1.0/1.75/3.5 to 4.0/10.25/13.75.

a lot of ws were.

Requiscat is rather weak in general.

Savage Expiacion CDC are the big 3.
Expiacion needs mythic to make it good.

Requiescat is a good WS to have for utility reasons (if nothing else) as it does non-aspected damage. It's one the handful of things that just works for taking down Caturae Shields for instance.

The 2014 update to WS overhauled most of them, so a lot more may be better than you remember.
