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 example, tanks should focus on maximizing their defense and HP to better soak up damage, while DPS should aim for a balance between critical hit rate, determination, and direct hit. Healers, on the other hand, should look into enhancing their healing potency and spell speed for efficient recovery.

Make sure to keep an eye on your gear’s item level (ilvl) as well, as higher ilvl gear generally provides better stats. Don’t forget to meld your gear with materia to further boost your stats and fill any gaps in your build. Communication with your team is key to ensure everyone is optimizing their gear to complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses. Happy raiding, and may your gear always be epic!
