Disagree here.

The upgraded i130 poetics weapon will be fine. Considering the questions being asked, I doubt he's been working on his zodiac weapon build for a long time. If he's sitting on a base or a zenith weapon than he quite simply doesn't have enough time to get a zeta weapon before Heavensward launches and anything short of that doesn't convey the unnamed advantage. I mathed it out a while back and determined that it would take 6-7 weeks of 10 hour days to reach Zeta starting from Zenith. And that's buying all your Novus materia and Zodiac crafted items.

That being said, the best things a relatively fresh 50 can do to prep for the expansion would be in no particular order:

1: Horde gil, ventures, and grand company seals (if your promotions are all done)
2: Finish the main scenario through 2.55. If you haven't had an hour and a half-long cutscene ending with credits, you haven't gotten there.
3: Get your relevant cross-class skills. Your thing up there says you're a thaumaturge. So the long ones are going to be Eye for an Eye and Quelling Strikes. It's best not to be missing buttons going into the expansion.
4: Gear up your main job. i130 is a good goal, but almost anything over about i115 is going to give you a pretty decent running start come HW.
