Astrologian Healer Gear and Best in Slot — Endwalker 6.5

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.

This set provides 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 can double weave under Astrodyne without clipping at this GCD speed, this set will provide the highest DPS. Otherwise, a slower set will most likely perform better for you.

This set provides 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 should consider using a slower set.

This set is projected to do about 3-4 less DPS than the 2.33 set, but it is an option if you prefer the faster GCD. It also provides better GCD alignment for Scholar than the 2.33 set if you would like a set that works well for both jobs.

Keep in mind that the faster GCD will cause you to spend MP faster, so you will not have as much MP for raises and extra GCD healing.

This set provides a base GCD of 2.34. Under Astrodyne, the GCD is reduced to 2.11, 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 expected to provide about 0.14% less DPS than the 2.33 set, on average. However, it incorporates some Direct Hit melds so that you have the potential to Direct Hit your attacks without a Bard. The average DPS is lower, but the presence of some Direct Hit will technically increase the DPS ceiling on extremely lucky pulls. The increased variance is really only relevant if you are farming for lucky parses and your group does not have a Bard.

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.

This set is expected to provide about 0.23% less DPS than the 2.33 set, on average. However, it may perform better than the faster sets if you cannot double weave under Astrodyne with the faster GCD. This set's slower GCD also makes it very safe in terms of MP, which will allow plenty of room for multiple raises and extra GCD healing.

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.

Under Astrodyne, the GCD is reduced to 2.08, which may make double weaving difficult or impossible depending on your latency/ping.

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.
