Omni-Gearing for Caster Jobs
This page contains all of the information for gearing multiple jobs that fall under the Caster role category.
Omni-Caster Best-in-Slot
The differences in weapon substats and Black Mage's preference for Spell Speed prevents there from being a true omni-BiS set for casters. However, three of the four casters have 2.48 GCD tier BiS, and Black Mage has a slower set that requires minimal gear swaps (currently the 2.43 set).
The buttons linked below will lead you to the job specific gearing pages.
Recommended sets for omnicaster players
This combination of sets will require the least meld swaps, making them the preferred options for omnicasters.
2.43 Black Mage
"2.48 Summoner (7.2/3)
2.48 Red Mage (7.2/3)
2.48 Pictomancer (7.2/3)

Argen has been playing since Alphascape, but got involved in higher-end raiding during Eden’s Verse, where he helped the community learn about Red Mage’s often overlooked optimization potential. He has been blessed by enough RNG to achieve top 10 rankings in multiple raids, become a Red Mage mentor at the Balance discord, and not get forced to play another job in any of his statics. Argen can also be found in Elemental DC party finder or on his Youtube channel.
