Omni-Gearing for Tank Jobs
This page contains the all of the information for gearing multiple jobs that fall under the Tank role category.
Omni-Tank Best-in-Slot
This page is up to date as of Patch 7.3
Tank gear can be pretty easily shared between all tanks, using Skill Speed melds on the weapon or swapping foods to have different Skill Speeds on different jobs. Every tank can operate well at around 2.45 or 2.50 GCD.
Use the XIVGear Simulator if you would like to create your own sets. Be mindful that due to the nature of the model the calc uses, the DPS number cannot be meaningfully used to compare between different Skill Speed tiers and in real encounters.
Omni-Tank 2.50 GCD
Some job-specific notes:
- Paladin: Meld the weapon with 2x DH instead of 2x CRIT and replace 1x CRIT with 1x DH on the boots.
