Hey fellow FFXIV raiders! When it comes to gear optimization for raiding, it’s crucial to prioritize your stats based on your role. For tanks, focus on defense and HP to soak up damage, while DPS should aim for high critical hit rate and determination for maximum damage output. Healers should balance between healing potency, spell speed, and piety for efficient healing.

Always keep an eye on your gear’s item level (ilvl) as higher ilvl gear generally provides better stats. Make sure to meld materia to fill any stat gaps and enhance your gear further. Don’t forget to customize your gear with the right materia to suit your playstyle and role in the raid.

Lastly, communicate with your team about gear upgrades and rotations to ensure everyone is optimized for maximum performance during raid encounters. Happy raiding!
