PLD - Upgrade Sword or Shield to Relic +1 (Zenith) first?

Griever made a fairly extensive Paladin Compendium here. Can refer to it for BiS etc.

The order in which you purchase vendor items is largely up to you and whatever luck you have with coils drops. However, the Curtana Zenith is certainly not a priority.

hmmm right from that post.... VIT vs STR
Currently from the data I have gathered, VIT is all you want. This may change later in the game. STR will increase the chance of physical mitigation and generate more threat. So if it’s physical, it will give you a chance of mitigation. Chances are not reliable. Threat is nice, but a better weapon will give you more bang for your buck than stats will.

Actually THE BEST way would be to get your T1-2 done, and CT loot for the week, then make your decision.

but a better weapon will give you more bang for your buck than stats will.

I don't understand why you keep posting this. This is not true. Not trying to be rude.
