Last Updated: 27 Jan, 2025
Patch Applicable: 7.16

2.14 Savage BiS

Classic “Slow SAM”. Highest DPS, easiest weaving. Accessories have parity across Slaying jobs.

2.14 Chaotic + Ultimate Weapon BiS

The Cloud of Darkness (Chaotic) has provided us with gear with better stat tiering than Savage BiS. Use this if you have access to Clouddark gear and the Ultimate Weapon from Futures Rewritten (Ultimate).

2.14 Chaotic + Savage Weapon BiS

In case you’re looking for a slightly better option to the Savage BiS for FRU prog.

2.08 Savage BiS

As per community request, the 2.07 set has a small hit in DPS in exchange for an easier looping rotation, as well as slightly better flexibility with mechanic downtime.

Ultimate/Unreal Sync "BiS" Sets:

Sets for these fights are community-sourced through use of XIVGear. In the case of UCOB, UWU, TEA and DSR, you do not NEED those sets to clear - they’re mostly to squeeze out the most damage possible. Special thanks to Niche, Lars and Boxer for helping with making these.

UCoB | UWU | TEA | DSR | TOP
