Intro
Welcome to the ultimate Omni-Melee gearing guide for Final Fantasy XIV (Patch 7.2), brought to you by Onlyfarms.gg – your one-stop destination for expert-level gearing, leveling, and raid support. If you’re planning to flex between multiple melee DPS jobs like Dragoon, Reaper, Monk, Samurai, and more, this guide is made just for you.
Whether you’re chasing Best-in-Slot gear (BiS) or want to optimize your materia melds across multiple melee classes, we’ve got you covered. And if you’d rather skip the grind? Just let Onlyfarms.gg handle it with Leveling, Raids, and Gearing Services – fast, reliable, and always top-tier.
💎 Melee DPS Role Gear Overview
| Role Type | Jobs | Shared Gear Category | Stat Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maiming | Dragoon, Reaper | Slaying (Maiming) | DET > DH/CRT > SKS |
| Striking | Monk, Samurai | Slaying (Striking) | CRT > DET > SKS |
| Scouting | Ninja (solo gear) | Aiming (Scouting) | Unique |
🛡 Shared BiS for Dragoon and Reaper
| Slot | Gear Name | Materia (Dragoon) | Materia (Reaper) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chest | Abyssos Cuirass of Maiming | DH/DH | DET/DET |
| Weapon | Manderville Glaives (Relic) | SKS/DH (Reaper Alt: DH/DH) | Same |
| Accessories | Slaying | DET/DH | DET/DH |
✅ Stat spread is nearly identical. The DPS loss from using the “wrong” meld is negligible. We recommend melding for your main and accepting minor loss on your alt.
🧘 Shared BiS for Monk and Samurai
| Slot | Gear Name | Materia |
|---|---|---|
| Head | Monk: Abyssos Headband of Striking Samurai: Abyssos Jingasa of Striking |
CRT/DET |
| Weapon | Manderville Knuckles/Katana | CRT/DET |
| Shared Gear | Abyssos Body/Hands/Legs/Feet | CRT/DET (Same Melds) |
⚠ The shared set runs a 2.15s GCD for Samurai, which qualifies as “SlowSAM” – not preferred by all players. However, the performance difference is ~0.5%, which is acceptable for flex players.
🧩 Can You Share Gear Across Maiming and Striking?
Short answer: Yes, with compromise.
| Gear Piece | Striking Melds | Maiming Melds | Compromise Option |
|---|---|---|---|
| Earrings | DET/SKS | DET/DH | Use SKS meld – minor Dragoon impact |
| Ascension Ring | CRT/DET | DET/DET | Meld CRT/DET for universal use |
🔄 If you don’t want to remeld constantly, this setup offers a smart middle ground with very minor DPS loss on specific jobs.
