Hey fellow raiders! When it comes to gear optimization in Final Fantasy XIV, it’s crucial to prioritize your stats based on your role. For tanks, focus on increasing your defense and HP to withstand heavy hits from bosses. DPS classes should aim for gear that enhances their main stat (like Strength for melee classes or Intelligence for casters) to boost their damage output. Healers should look for gear that boosts their healing potency and MP regeneration.

Don’t forget to meld materia to fill any stat gaps in your gear. Always keep an eye on your gear’s item level (ilvl) to ensure you’re getting the best stats possible. And remember, communication with your team is key to coordinating gear upgrades and ensuring everyone is performing at their best in raids. Happy raiding!
