Reaper DPS Gear and Best in Slot — Dawntrail 7.01
On this page, you will find the best gear and best-in-slot items for your Reaper DPS in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail (Patch 7.01).
Reaper Gearsets (BiS)
This section covers the endgame best-in-slot gear sets for Reaper in different endgame content. The gear sets are made by calculating the average DPS output of the rotation with a given stat set and comparing it to other options. If you are interested in making your own gear sets and comparison, you can check out the DPS gear planner.
If you are currently gearing up your Reaper, you can find more information about the stat priorities and effects in our guide's melding section.
Best in Slot by Encounter
Patch 7.01 Gearsets
Portions of these gear sets can only be acquired by completing the current normal mode raid tier and you can only obtain a few pieces each week.
This is considered the Economy Set because it uses no Crafted pieces or overmelds and will be significantly cheaper. It is weaker than a fully pentamelded crafted set.
At the time of writing this Etro is not updated with Normal Mode Gear. Below you can find the pieces, their melds and the recommended buy orders:
- Head: Light-heavy Bandana of Maiming
- Savage Aim XII (Critical Hit Rate)
- Savage Might XII (Determination)
- Hands: Light-heavy Halfgloves of Maiming
- Savage Aim XII (Critical Hit Rate)
- Savage Might XII (Determination)
- Hands: Light-heavy Greaves of Maiming
- Quickarm XII (Skillspeed)
- Heavens' Eye XII (Direct Hit Rate)
- Hands: Light-heavy Halfgloves of Maiming
- Savage Might XII (Determination)
- Normal Mode Week 1: Head and Hands
- Normal Mode Week 2: Boots and Ring
Note: That Head, Hands and Boots requires 2 tokens each and a head token can't be obtained on floor 4, while a boot token can't be obtained on floor 3. The ring only requires 1 token and can be acquired on any floor.
Patch 7.05 Crafted Set
The Omega Protocol Best-in-Slot
