White Mage Healer Gear and Best in Slot — Dawntrail 7.01
On this page, you will find the best gear and best-in-slot items for your White Mage Healer in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail (Patch 7.01).
White Mage Gearsets (BiS)
This page will contain all the endgame best-in-slot (BiS) gearsets for White Mage for the current patch. Sets are made with a simulator that takes into account Mana uptime, a statistic to measure how long a job can continually cast before it runs out of Mana, in addition to averaging the DPS output of a set to compare to others. If you wish to see more about these sets, to check out additional sets, or simply desire to fiddle around with gearsets yourself to compare to what we've found, you can go to the White Mage Gear Calculator Spreadsheet.
If you are currently gearing up your White Mage, you can find more information about how certain stats and substats affect this job in our guide's melding section.
Best in Slot by Encounter
Patch 7.01 Gearsets (Week 1 Prog Sets)
This section will be updated after AAC: Light-heavyweight Tier (Savage) has been released in Patch 7.05.
EX Trial BiS Sets
Only use the following gearsets if you do not have access to Normal Raid gear.
- EX Direct Hit: BiS using current EX Gear with a slower GCD, focusing on Direct Hit.
- EX Spell Speed: Another BiS if you want a slightly faster GCD.
- No EX Gear (Direct Hit): BiS if you are progging EX Trials or do not want to do the raids.
Currently, we prioritize Direct Hit over Crit melds, as our Crit is low enough for Direct Hit melds to have more impact. Just like gear, food will be changing in the near future.
Recommended potion is the Grade 1 Gemdraught of Mind, but it will be replaced in the near future. Players can also opt for Super-Ethers for progression, which will not be replaced.
Recommended Normal Raid Purchase Priority
Item Type | Name | Required Tokens |
---|---|---|
Legs | Light-heavy Brais of Healing | Light-heavy Holochausses x4 |
Feet | Light-heavy Shoes of Healing | Light-heavy Holochausses x2 |
Accessories |
If possible, players should prioritize getting accessories from the EX Trials instead, or any left-side gear options listed above. They are more likely to not be replaced for early Savage prog, as accessories can be easily substituted with its EX Trial or penta-crafted gear equivalent. |
Light-heavy Holochausses x1 Each |
Patch 7.05 Gearsets (Savage BiS Sets)
This section will be updated after AAC: Light-heavyweight Tier (Savage) has been released in Patch 7.05.
Please see the Patch 7.01 Gearsets for the current BiS information.
The Omega Protocol Prog Set
Ultimate prog sets forgo a bit of damage for higher Vitality, Determination, and Piety than speedkill-focused savage sets. The below sets are excellent options if you are planning on doing the latest ultimate.
TOP Prog Sets
TOP ended up being substantially lighter on healing and heavier on damage requirements than prior ultimates, so this set aims for more damage at the expense of piety compared to prior ultimate sets, but still maintains the max vitality required for some damage checks. 2.34 GCD is chosed for alignment with various fight mechanics.
Dragonsong's Reprise Prog Sets
This ultimate is also fairly easy on your MP pool and can be comfortably progged in a fairly low piety set. If for some (terrible) reason your group has decided against using tank invulns in phase 7 the higher piety can ease the load of the extra GCD heals you'll need. Either version of the level 90 relic can be used, though this is very likely to change once the next version of the relic becomes available in patch 6.45. The dungeon gear comes from Lapis Manalis.
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 an ilvl 515 or 535 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:
- 184 Critical Hit / 184 Determination / 99 Spellspeed
Spellspeed or Det can be swapped for additional piety if needed. 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 an ilvl 515 or 535 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:
- 136 Critical Hit / 136 Determination / 136 Spellspeed / 60 Piety
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
With that being said, the biggest difference that can be made to your gear set will be equipping an ilvl 515 or 535 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:
- 127 Critical Hit / 127 Determination / 127 Spellspeed / 87 Piety
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.
