Astrologian Healer Gear and Best in Slot — Dawntrail 7.2

These sets are so close in DPS that they mostly come down to comfort and personal preference. This first set provides the highest expected DPS by a small margin, and its slower GCD ensures that you will have plenty of MP for raises and GCD healing.

These sets are so close in DPS that they mostly come down to comfort and personal preference. This second set provides very slightly less DPS than the slower set, but the difference is small enough to be negligible. However, the faster GCD means that you will go through your MP significantly more quickly. It is very sustainable with diligent use of your MP management abilities, but it will be easier for you to run out of MP if you have to cast multiple raises or do an excessive amount of GCD healing.

Our "Week 1" sets are built around spending the first two weeks of tomestones to give you the best possible set specifically for the week the Savage raid releases. These sets are close enough in DPS that they mostly come down to comfort and personal preference.

Clicking the title of the set should open the full sheet, which includes additional set variants and allows you to compare the simulated DPS values of each set.

This first set is the default recommendation. It matches the GCD speed of the highest simming best-in-slot set, which will allow you to get used to how each encounter feels at that speed. The slower GCD ensures that you will have plenty of MP for raises and extra GCD heals, which is always great while you are progressing through the raid tier.

This second set is expected to provide a very small DPS advantage over the 2.46 set above. However, that comes at the cost of increased MP expenditure due to the faster GCD. If you have a personal preference for a faster GCD and you are confident in your MP management, this set should still be quite sustainable, even during progression. If you intend to use the 2.32 set as your final best-in-slot, you may want to choose this set for progression just to get used to how that GCD speed feels in each encounter.

Our third set is a budget option that minimizes overmelding, at the cost of about 1.5% DPS compared to the recommended set.

This final set is a budget option that uses fewer crafted pieces to further cut down on cost. It is expected to provide about 2.4% less DPS than the recommended set.

All these sets are so close in DPS that they mostly come down to comfort and personal preference. This first set provides the highest expected DPS by a small margin.

All these sets are so close in DPS that they mostly come down to comfort and personal preference. This set is expected to provide slightly less DPS than the 2.48 set, but the 2.50 GCD generally offers better alignment for Earthly Star and Divination, so it may feel more comfortable to use.

All these sets are so close in DPS that they mostly come down to comfort and personal preference. This set is ideal for players who have a preference for a faster GCD speed. It is expected to perform very slightly worse than the other sets, and it will cause you to go through MP faster, but the DPS difference is negligible, and the MP expenditure is still very manageable with this much Piety.

The Patch 6.5 dungeon (The Lunar Subterrane) drops Item Level 635 gear that allows for small optimizations around the Item Level 635 Sync of The Omega Protocol. The Voidmoon gloves, earrings, and ring are the new pieces used in these sets.

Portions of these gear sets can only be acquired by completing the Abyssos raid tier. A guide for the content can be found links below.

This set is the standard recommendation, as it should provide the most damage. It has a base GCD of 2.31. If you cannot double weave without clipping at this speed, you may wish to use a slower set.

This slower set is expected to provide about 0.6% less DPS than the 2.31 set, but it gives you more room for double weaving and provides more MP for raises and extra GCD healing. Many people feel that MP is less of a concern in this encounter, especially compared to Dragonsong's Reprise, so this set is primarily recommended for players who are simply more comfortable playing with a slower GCD.

Since this set uses a Crit/Det relic, it may also be convenient if you are already using a Crit/Det relic and do not want to change its stats just for this encounter.

The Patch 6.3 dungeon (Lapis Manalis) drops Item Level 605 gear that allows for small optimizations around the Item Level 605 Sync of Dragonsong's Reprise. The new food introduced in Patch 6.4 has also allowed for slight optimizations in stat tiering compared to what was possible in Patch 6.3.

Portions of these gear sets can only be acquired by completing the Asphodelos raid tier. A guide for the content can be found links below.

This set provides a base GCD of 2.34. If you cannot double weave without clipping at this speed, you should consider using a slower set.
