Warrior Tank Gear and Best in Slot — Endwalker 6.4
On this page, you will find the best gear and best-in-slot items for your Warrior Tank in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker (Patch 6.4).
Warrior Gearsets (BiS)
Warriors have a number of best-in-slot possibilities, depending on the GCD speed you wish to play with. It is worth noting that, despite each set being shown with a simulated DPS number, these simulations are theoretical and have been performed in a controlled, infinite environment that does not take into account any of the variables that you may deal with in real fights. This includes, for example, the fight you are currently doing, your current party composition, and more.
The food that you choose to use will depend on the speed of the best-in-slot set you run, so make sure to check the listed consumable for each list.
If you are currently gearing up your Warrior, you can find more information about the stat priorities and effects in our guide's melding section.

The Epic of Alexander (TEA) Best in Slot
- 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. The Relic weapon provides a 1% damage increase for The Epic of Alexander. Stat allocation is as follows:
- 179 Critical Hit / 181 Determination / 104 Direct Hit
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.
The Weapon's Refrain (UWU) Best in Slot
- Item level 500
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. The Relic weapon provides a 3.5% damage increase for The Weapon's Refrain. Stat allocation is as follows:
- 136 Critical Hit / 136 Determination / 136 Direct Hit
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.
The Unending Coil of Bahamut (UCoB) Best in Slot
- Item level 470
