Astrologian Healer Gear and Best in Slot — Endwalker 6.55

These sets are designed specifically for the first week of progression in Anabaseios (Savage). They are optimized to provide the best possible setup using the most recent Extreme Trial weapon, crafted gear, normal mode Anabaseios drops, and the limited amount of Tomestones of Comedy that are available during the first week of the Savage tier.

This slower set deals about 0.43% less DPS than the faster set, but it gives you more room to double weave under Astrodyne and gives you more spare MP for raises and GCD healing.

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

This set provides a base GCD of 2.29. Under Astrodyne, the GCD is reduced to 2.06, which may make double weaving difficult or impossible depending on your latency/ping.

This set is almost perfectly tied with the 2.43 set in terms of DPS. It is expected to provide about 3 more DPS than the slow set if your party does not have crit buffs from a Scholar and/or Dragoon, but the difference is so small that it is mostly a matter of preference.

If you want to use this set, make sure you can double weave under Astrodyne without clipping at this GCD speed. This set will also be the most demanding on your MP management, and you will not have as much to spare for raises and extra GCD healing. If either of these things is a concern, a slower set will most likely perform better for you.

This set provides a base GCD of 2.32. Under Astrodyne, the GCD is reduced to 2.09, which may make double weaving difficult or impossible depending on your latency/ping. If you cannot double weave without clipping at this speed, you should consider using a slower set.

This set is projected to provide about 15 less DPS than the 2.29 or 2.43 sets. It is listed mainly as an option for players who are most comfortable with this GCD range. If you prefer a somewhat fast GCD but have trouble with MP or double weaving at 2.29, this is a reasonable middle ground.

This set provides a base GCD of 2.43. Under Astrodyne, the GCD is reduced to 2.19, which gives you a much more forgiving window for double weaving than the faster sets. The slower GCD also makes it very safe in terms of MP, which will allow plenty of room for multiple raises and extra GCD healing.

This set is almost perfectly tied with the 2.29 set in terms of DPS. It is expected to provide about 3 less DPS than the 2.29 set if you have no crit buffs in the party from Scholar and/or Dragoon. However, if you have both a Scholar and a Dragoon, this set is theoretically calculated to provide 1 more DPS than the 2.29 set.

In any case, the difference is so small that it is negligible compared to any other factor, so you should choose a set based on your preference for playing with a faster or slower GCD.

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.

This set is the standard recommendation, as it should provide the most damage. It has a base GCD of 2.31. Under Astrodyne, the GCD is reduced to 2.08, which may make double weaving difficult or impossible depending on your latency/ping. 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 under Astrodyne 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.
