I love being relic holder. Not everyone does though, and i get that, but everyone should get practice with the relic. I find sometimes random shit happens though, and its no ones fault. For example, at the templar, when put in the detainment shield, most of the time a jump smash breaks it, sometimes it doesn't (if this happens drop the relic and shoot, do not use r1/rb). At atheon in mars portal, occasionally when 2 of the hobgoblins are spread out it can be real difficult to get the one out of the bunch. I'd just suggest shooting rockets to help the relic holder (don't throw grenades).
