Ninja DPS Gear and Best in Slot — Dawntrail 7.2
On this page, you will find the best gear and best-in-slot items for your Ninja DPS in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail (Patch 7.2).
Ninja Gearsets (BiS)
This section is for Best-in-Slot builds for Ninja, updated for Patch 7.2. If you are looking into the reasoning behind why we have these stats in this way, check out the stat priority page for Ninja.
Best in Slot by Encounter
Patch 7.2 Gearsets (Week1 Progression Gearset)
Patch 7.2 Gearsets (Savage BiS)
The Omega Protocol Best-in-Slot
Portions of these gear sets can only be acquired by completing the Abyssos raid tier. The weapon being i645 or i665 doesnt matter, has the same end result when synced down. A guide for the content can be found in the link below.
Dragonsong's Reprise Best-in-Slot
As of Patch 6.3, dungeon gear from Lapis Manalis may be used without the penalty of losing melds, since the gear dropped from the instance is i605. Below is the best option set compiled using a mix of Asphodelos and dungeon gear. The relic being i645 or i665 is irrelevant as it will have the same stats once synced down.
