PLD, Suggest a gear upgrade path please

[Tyrial]

Personally I am not to fond of +1ing the relic/shield. +1 relic is very minor increase to stats/survivability, but is good for threat-gen. For me, I haven't had any threat issues yet with my group and am now clearing turn 4. If I started having threat issues, I'd consider curtana +1. I decided for myself and my group it was better to have better survivability than threat gen as we weren't having threat issues.

Just my thoughts on the matter.

While I can see you not upgrading the Curtana, you should have at least gone for the shield. It is a solid upgrade (14 points to both block rate and strength). The only reason I could see to NOT upgrade the shield is due to Allagan dropping from the first boss in Coil and in reality it's BiS.

I went for +1 Sword and Shield first and then got my Valor head and boots due to how my Allagan drops turned out (got body and legs in the first night). Like I said in another thread, compare the stats to what you have and what you'll be getting and go from there. Myth ring doesn't hurt to pick up, Surcoat, gloves and pants are BiS (and a guaranteed "drop") according to a build that was posted in a different thread. You're able to hit the acc cap then stack other important stats as well for the most benefit.

I forget to log out as Pld sometimes. This time I did, but still showing the Bard i was running around as just for swiftsong..
Anyways, I went ahead and got the DL legs and Myth ring.
I was reading up and noticed the Head, Gloves and Bracelet are all late, Turn 4 drops. Since Im still on Militia Gloves I figure gloves would be the best bet.
Then if I get a hoplite chest to finally drop, or Turn 1 armor, get the head piece. Otherwise I'll save up again and get the Surcoat.
I want to feel the wind on my face again.
