News Tag: FFXIV Healer Gear

Ever since Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail was officially released, it has been talked about in the endgame meta of the popular MMO, especially the savage raids that players have always loved. You need to do a certain amount of preparation before the savage raids, so you need to collect the best gear currently available and collect their stats.

So in the game, it’s troublesome to figure out which gear is worth using, because it is not straightforward to change each stat. For Healing mains, you can use Party Finder to find some of the best gear. If you haven’t unlocked this yet, why not follow the steps in this guide to find the best gear for your healer?

Before reading this guide, you need to prepare your FFXIV Gil so that when you choose the gear you like, you can upgrade it accordingly. This will make it easier for you in battle.

White Mage

White Mage is a better choice of gear than other Healers because their BiS is not affected by a certain spell speed threshold. So players who often use other healers may choose White Mage’s gear combination based on previous experience.

Skyruin Cane (Weapon)
Neo Kingdom Hat of Healing (Head)
Light-heavy Coat of Healing (Body)
Light-heavy Halfgloves of Healing (Hands)
Light-heavy Brais of Healing (Legs)
Light-heavy Shoes of Healing (Feet)
Resilient Earrings of Healing (Earrings)
Resilient Choker of Healing (Necklace)
Resilient Bracelet of Healing (Bracelet)
Light-heavy Ring of Healing (Right Ring)
Resilient Ring of Healing (Left Ring)
Creamy Alpaca Pasta (Food)

But for White Mage, you need to prioritize Mind and Critical Hit Rate. Vegetable Soup is a good choice, as it focuses more on Determination instead of Spell Speed than Creamy Alpaca Pasta. It all depends on your personal preference. If you want to improve your Determination, you can choose Vegetable Soup. If you choose another one, your Spell Speed will be increased by one Tier.

In addition, you can also let White Mage try some Light-heavy gear sets obtained from Normal Arcadion Raids, but it should be noted that you may need to grind them several times before they can play the best effect. So you can replace them with Extreme Trial gear or Tomestone Gear until you have completed the necessary data collection.

If you use Alarm clocking, you will not have time to grind with this gear. Then you need to remove the body piece and ring and replace them with Tomestone gear, so that your damage will be maximized, and you can also better protect yourself.

Astrologian

Compared to White Mage, Astrologian needs more gear that can reduce skill cooldown. Therefore, it will need more Spell Speed. But this does not mean that you need to give him all the gear that can enhance Spell Speed, just a little is enough.

Skyruin Orrery (Weapon)
Neo Kingdom Hat of Healing (Head)
Neo Kingdom Coat of Healing (Body)
Neo Kingdom Armlets of Healing (Hands)
Light-heavy Brais of Healing (Legs)
Light-heavy Shoes of Healing (Feet)
Resilient Earrings of Healing (Earrings)
Resilient Choker of Healing (Necklace)
Resilient Bracelet of Healing (Bracelet)
Resilient Ring of Healing (Right Ring)
Light-heavy Ring of Healing (Left Ring)
Fruit and Aloe Jelly (Food)

The stats you really need to consider are Mind and Determination, and your focus is on fusing Savage Aim Materia. To get the best stats and upgrade them the most, choose light-heavy gear in order from legs to feet to rings. If you plan to dive into Savage raid right away, you can move the ring order down and choose the best crafted gear first.

Scholar

Most of Scholar’s BiS gear is the same as Astrologian, with only a few Materia differences. Also, in Dawntrail, the addition of Seraphism changes the way you manage your GCD.

Skyruin Codex (Weapon)
Neo Kingdom Hat of Healing (Head)
Neo Kingdom Coat of Healing (Body)
Neo Kingdom Armlets of Healing (Hands)
Light-heavy Brais of Healing (Earrings)
Light-heavy Shoes of Healing (Feet)
Resilient Earrings of Healing (Earrings)
Resilient Choker of Healing (Necklace)
Resilient Bracelet of Healing (Bracelet)
Resilient Ring of Healing (Right Ring)
Light-heavy Ring of Healing (Left Ring)
Fruit and Aloe Jelly (Food)

For Scholar’s Spell Speed, the most important thing to focus on is its a 2.40 value. Like Astrologian, if you want to get the best stats, you also need to choose light-heavy gear in order from legs to feet to rings.

Sage

Sage is the most damage-focused of all healers, which also means they will focus more on Determination and Direct Hit. Because of this difference, BiS Sage gear will prioritize body pieces with Artifact Gear set.

Skyruin Wings (Weapon)
Neo Kingdom Hat of Healing (Head)
Asklepian Coat (Body)
Neo Kingdom Armlets of Healing (Hands)
Neo Kingdom Breeches of Healing (Earrings)
Light-heavy Shoes of Healing (Feet)
Resilient Earrings of Healing (Earrings)
Resilient Choker of Healing (Necklace)
Light-heavy Armband of Healing (Bracelet)
Light Heavy Ring of Healing (Right Ring)
Resilient Ring of Healing (Left Ring)
Vegetable Soup (Food)

Unlike the previous jobs, in order to get the best properties, you need to select Light-heavy Feet first, then accessories. Unless you set Alarm clocking, it is completely unworthy to choose Light-heavy Ring of Healing for Sage. In contrast, you can choose some of the newly crafted rings released in Patch 7.05 as your gear.

That’s all about how to prepare for a raid as a healer in Dawntrail. I hope this guide can help you with your choices. Have fun playing Dawntrail!
