Warrior Tank Gear and Best in Slot — Dawntrail 7.2

There are several different sets to use for prog depending on how many Tomestones you want to commit or factoring melding costs. Below are two sets for full crafted gear and those who will cap tomes to buy the chest the week of Savage release. Additional sets can be found simply by clicking any of the embeds, including a cheaper Tenacity melding option and another tome option for those not capping Week 1 of Savage. Warrior's tome buy order is Chest → Ring → Neck → Boots → Wrist.

For these sets, the gear used is exactly the same with just meld and food differences to achieve your desired Skill Speed.

With the arrival of Patch 6.45, the new Majestic Manderville relic weapons have customizable stats that make them BiS for both Endwalker Ultimates. Additionally, with the introduction of The Lunar Subterrane, certain pieces of iLevel 635 gear is available for a mild DPS increased compared to previous sets. Patch 6.55 has introduced the Mandervillous weapons, which have increased stat caps over the prior relic step. The stats you select do not change from the ones you've used since Patch 6.45, so it's only a minor DPS increase to obtain those weapons.

Portions of these gear sets can only be acquired by completing the Abyssos raid tier. A guide for the content can be found in the link below.

With the arrival of Patch 6.3 and the new dungeon, Lapis Manalis, dropping iLevel 605 gear, we are now able to cap item level on certain pieces to make a stronger build. You can use either i645 or i655 relic weapons from Endwalker. The stats you select do not change from the ones you've used since Patch 6.45, so it's only a minor DPS increase to obtain the Mandervillous weapon over the Majestic. Patch 7.0 introduced higher item level gear that offers maxed substats even when synced down and is readily obtainable.

Portions of these gear sets can only be acquired by completing the Asphodelos raid tier. A guide for the content can be found links below.

We’ve decided to not include full gear sets for The Epic of Alexander anymore, as your gear choices make very little difference in how much damage you do due to how gear syncs and removes melds. The item level listed below will outline what item level is required to max out both substats on gear for the fight. All gear above the specified item level will work:

• Item level 595

With that being said, the biggest difference that can be made to your gear set will be equipping a Shadowbringers Relic weapon. Due to the nature of how substats are allocated on these weapons, it enables you to utilize more substats than what’s intended on a normal weapon. Stat allocation is as follows:

• 178 Critical Hit / 143 Determination / 143 Skill Speed / 4 Tenacity

For those with the Manderville Relic weapons, the stat distribution cannot be finely tuned but the priority remains the same given Warrior performs better with Skill Speed in all three legacy Ultimates compared to base 2.50 speed. Keep in mind, the Relic weapon is NOT mandatory to clear these fights. It only provides a buffer for mistakes. It’s up to the player to make the decision if the grind is worth it.
