So I've decided that I'm going to main PLD throughout HW before leveling my Machinist.

Now, I've not read much on Relic weapons for the expansion, however I was wondering whether or not at this point there is much point to leveling my Relic up. Right now I'm on Atma Curtana/Holy Shield and 70% percent done my Str +2 book.

I've been rocking the Soldiery 110 Sword/Shield for the longest time and I am due for an upgrade. Now, here is where my question lies:

Do I keep working on Relic, or just go poetic?

Any suggestions or advice appreciated.
