I am not really sure where to go. Right now my load out is:

Grey Feather Cowl - UV Piercing Med
Grey Owlite Shield - UV Shadow Med
Vog Cub - UV Shadow Med

CIV - UV Slime Med
Gigawat Pulsar - No UV
Shivermist - CTR Low

So what should I do next? Focus on upgrading my Gigawat and getting a UV? Getting a secondary sword? Junking some armor and getting something different? Building a totally different suit for a different scenario? All helpful advice is very appreciated. I haven't played for a pretty long time so I am not even sure what damage types are the most common anymore. Do I need to get a piercing armor set or a shadow set as well? Thanks all!

Grab a weapon with elemental

Grab a weapon with elemental damage
Grab a weapon with shadow damage
Grab a shield. Any kind of shield is better than no shield.

good, but

Demonicsothe gives good advice, but I think that we need more information here, just to get started. How many weapon slots do you use? Do you like swords, guns, or bombs, or a mix?

Currently you have a bad sword, an okay gun, and a bomb that is awesome in certain situations and unhelpful in others. As Demonicsothe said, you're going to want a mixture of piercing, elemental, and shadow weapons. The particular choices depend on how many weapon slots you use, and whether you want swords, guns, or bombs.

Once we figure out your weapons, we can work on your armor (which is currently just normal+elemental).

I either use 2 or 3 weapons

I either use 2 or 3 weapons depending on the situation. I either go with Sword/Gun/Bomb or Sword/Gun or Sword/Bomb. I like all three weapon types but I don't want to get stuck into a build where I am using 2 or 3 of the same weapon. I like having the variety of weapons for all situations.

piercing, elemental, shadow

The first advice I could give would be: Replace your CIV with a piercing sword. Piercing swords are awesome in this game, and pair well with elemental guns.

The next advice would be: Use your Shivermist Buster only in certain situations. I use mine only at Vanaduke, in devilite levels, and sometimes in FSC depth 27. When you're not carrying Shivermist Buster, your third weapon slot is open for something else. You could try another bomb in there. Vortex bombs are fun, but far from necessary. Consider a shadow sword. A setup of piercing sword, elemental gun, and shadow sword is extremely versatile.

Grey Feather Cowl offers nice defense. But this game is more about offense than defense; most players favor armor that gives offensive bonuses. So consider replacing your Grey Feather Cowl with a piece of gunner or bomber armor. Consider also the two armor lines that give bonuses to multiple weapon types: Chaos and Fallen. Consider also Barbarous Thorn Shield and maybe Swiftstrike Buckler.
