Hey fellow raiders! When it comes to gear optimization in Final Fantasy XIV, it’s crucial to understand the stat priorities for your specific job. Make sure to prioritize your main stat (like Strength for melee DPS, Dexterity for ranged physical DPS, Intelligence for magic DPS, etc.) as it directly impacts your damage output.

Secondary stats like Critical Hit Rate, Direct Hit Rate, Determination, and Spell Speed also play a significant role in enhancing your performance. Depending on your job, you may want to focus on different secondary stats. For example, Black Mages benefit greatly from Spell Speed, while Dragoons prefer Critical Hit Rate.

Don’t forget about melding materia to further boost your stats. Always aim to cap your main stat and then focus on secondary stats based on your job’s needs. Communication with your team is key to ensure everyone is optimizing their gear for the best raid performance. Happy raiding!
