White Mage Healer Gear and Best in Slot — Dawntrail 7.1

For Patch 7.11, players are highly recommended to use the ilvl 730 gearsets. This is the maximum item level average players can achieve in the current Savage tier, AAC: Light-heavyweight, which provides the most vitality and mind substats available. This allows players to have a greater survival chance while learning the new Ultimate fight.

The primary difference between these two sets is the spell speed, which affects how many casts per minute. Higher spell speed means more casts and more MP used. If players are struggling with their MP economy or survivability, it is highly suggested to either reduce spell speed, adjust the GCD healing and mitigation, and consider bringing Super-Ether potions for unexpected situations.

As players progress through the new Ultimate, additional changes may be made to reflect the fight's difficulty.

Please see the Best-in-Slot section for the recommended Tome Purchase Priority.

When aiming to clear, recommended potions are Grade 2 Gemdraught of Mind. Players can also opt for Super-Ethers for progression, which will not be replaced.

Uses a combination of pentameld Crafted, Extreme Trial, and Normal Raid gear. This is the current best Week 1 set, with the exception of using an ornate chest.

Uses Normal Raid pants, Extreme Trial weapon, and Materia X and IX melding.

This is only recommended if you do not care about the cost and/or do not have access to Normal Raids or Extreme Trial gear.

Players can substitute certain pieces and melds based on accessibility and Spell Speed/Piety preference. Players can also opt to meld their gear based on other healers, as White Mage's spell speed is generally flexible. An omni-healer set will be shared when available.

If you cannot meld the maximum materia amount per gear, it may perform worse than other available options. Players are recommended to pentameld with materia from the previous tier if funding is limited; however, you may see lower player performance as a result.

Some normal raid purchases can replace crafted gear for progression, depending on your preferred sub-stats.

Item Type	Name	Required Tokens
Legs	Light-heavy Brais of Healing	Light-heavy Holochausses x4
Feet	Light-heavy Shoes of Healing	Light-heavy Holochausses x2
Accessories	Light-heavy Ring of Healing Light-heavy Earring of Healing Light-heavy Bangle of Healing Light-heavy Choker of Healing If possible, players should prioritize getting accessories from the EX Trials instead, or any left-side gear options listed above. They are more likely to not be replaced for early Savage prog, as accessories can be easily substituted with its EX Trial or pentameld crafted gear equivalent.	Light-heavy Holochausses x1 Each

For this savage raid tier, many of the maximum item level gearing options do not have the maximum damage output, due to unfavourable substats on certain pieces. However, players looking to progress the upcoming Ultimate will benefit greatly from having the maximum item level gear available when it releases. As a result, we have curated different sets based on players' needs and preferences.

All of the gearing options with a faster GCD will have a simulated lower damage output than their slower GCD alternatives. Players should select the gearset with their preferred spell speed or substats.

Please Note: The Lower Item Level Sets uses pieces from the Normal Raid and Crafted options, as they have the highest damage output. If you plan to use any of those sets, remember to pick up the respective gear pieces.

1. Quetzalli Necklace of Healing
2. Quetzalli Hood of Healing
3. Quetzalli Hose of Healing (all BiS gearsets)
4. Quetzalli Robe of Healing (for fast GCD gearsets)
5. Quetzalli Ring of Healing

This set has the maximum item level average you can achieve, which is suitable for progressing in the 7.11 Ultimate fight, Futures Rewritten, or general reclears in Party Finder. It has been optimized to deal the highest damage possible, but it will simulate less damage compared to the Lower Item Level Set.

This set has the highest simulated damage output, despite being at a lower item level average. Generally, it should be used for damage parsing or optimizing speed kill times. It is heavily recommended to not use these sets in unoptimized environments or in the 7.11 Ultimate, Futures Rewritten.

For a full list of gearsets available, players can use the XIVGear Comprehensive List, provided by The Balance Discord's Healer Theorycrafting Team. This should only be used if you want to know every absolute gearing option.

Ultimate prog sets forgo a bit of damage for higher Vitality, Determination, and Piety than speedkill-focused savage sets. The below sets are excellent options if you are planning on doing the latest ultimate.

TOP ended up being substantially lighter on healing and heavier on damage requirements than prior ultimates, so this set aims for more damage at the expense of piety compared to prior ultimate sets, but still maintains the max vitality required for some damage checks. 2.34 GCD is chosed for alignment with various fight mechanics.

This ultimate is also fairly easy on your MP pool and can be comfortably progged in a fairly low piety set. If for some (terrible) reason your group has decided against using tank invulns in phase 7 the higher piety can ease the load of the extra GCD heals you'll need. Either version of the level 90 relic can be used, though this is very likely to change once the next version of the relic becomes available in patch 6.45. The dungeon gear comes from Lapis Manalis.

We’ve decided to not include full gear sets for The Epic of Alexander anymore, as your gear choices make very little difference in how much damage you do due to how gear syncs and removes melds. The item level listed below will outline what item level is required to max out both substats on gear for the fight. Prioritize gear with crit and don't be afraid to grab some additional piety slots if needed since the early phases of this fight can still be taxing. All gear above the specified item level will work:

• Item level 595

With that being said, the biggest difference that can be made to your gear set will be equipping an ilvl 515 or 535 Shadowbringers Relic weapon. Due to the nature of how substats are allocated on these weapons, it enables you to utilize more substats than what’s intended on a normal weapon. Stat allocation is as follows:

• 184 Critical Hit / 184 Determination / 99 Spellspeed

Spellspeed or Det can be swapped for additional piety if needed. Keep in mind, the Relic weapon is NOT mandatory to clear these fights. It only provides a buffer for mistakes. It’s up to the player to make the decision if the grind is worth it.

We’ve decided to not include full gear sets for The Weapon's Refrain anymore, as your gear choices make very little difference in how much damage you do due to how gear syncs and removes melds.
