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

Secondary stats like Critical Hit Rate, Direct Hit Rate, and Determination are also important for increasing your overall effectiveness in battles. Keep an eye on your gear’s item level and aim to upgrade it whenever possible to stay competitive in raids.

Don’t forget to meld materia to your gear to further enhance your stats and reach the caps for important thresholds. Communication with your team about gear choices and coordinating who gets what drops can also help optimize everyone’s performance. Happy raiding!
