Omni-Gearing for Healer Jobs

If you play multiple healers in high-end content, you may want a gearset that can be shared between them with minimal loss. The ideal set for your purposes should depend on how often you play each healer and your expected raid environment.

If you have a clear favorite for the tier and you do not play other healers in a serious capacity, it is perfectly acceptable to use the specialized best-in-slot (BiS) of your preferred healer on all healers. Most healer BiS sets are extremely similar. Sage is sometimes an exception because it does not scale as well with Spell Speed, and Scholar is sometimes an exception because it scales better with Spell Speed.

These buttons will take you to each job's specialized BiS pages.

Note: Raid weapons for healers typically have the same secondary stats. To avoid cluttering the page, these omni-gearsets are mostly listed using a single job. Unless otherwise noted, the overall stats are the same regardless of the job.

This is not the highest simming set on any healer, but it only sacrifices about 35 DPS on White Mage, Astrologian, and Sage compared to their individual best sets. It is about 80 DPS behind Scholar's best set, but it is still Scholar's second best set due to Scholar's specific GCD tier preferences.

If you want a set that you can comfortably use on all healers without any issues, this is the set for you. However, there are more sets that are slightly better optimized around specific healer compatibilities listed below, if you do not play every healer and would like to explore those options.

This tier, Astrologian and Scholar have an identical BiS option in their 2.31 sets. That shared 2.31 set is also very similar to White Mage's highest simming set. If you want a set with compatibility between White Mage, Astrologian, and Scholar, and you do not mind the minor DPS loss on Sage (~85), this is the perfect set for you.

Clicking the title of the set will open the full sheet, which will allow you to compare the expected DPS performance of each set on each healer.

Coming from the 2.31 set above, with Spell Speed melded on the White Mage weapon, all it takes to swap over to White Mage's highest simming 2.29 set is replacing a single Crit meld with Spell Speed on your headpiece, shown here.

If you do not want to swap out that meld, you end up with this 2.30 set on White Mage, which is a negligible ~13 DPS loss compared to the highest simming 2.29 White Mage set.

If you play any combination of healers that includes Sage and does not include Scholar, these sets are for you. Clicking the title of the set will open the full sheet, which will allow you to compare the expected DPS performance of each set on each healer.

Astrologian's highest simming set is only a ~22 DPS loss on White Mage compared to White Mage's highest simming set. It also offers full compatibility with Sage's 2.44 set, which is only ~16 DPS behind Sage's highest simming set.

On Astrologian and White Mage, you use the raid earrings and Caramel Popcorn.

When playing Sage, you swap to the tomestone earrings and Popoto Potage.
