Well , if it helps , I ' m gearing them in this order 1 Healers . Which is what I raid with , 2 Casters . I technically main SMN , it ' s my favorite job , and I keep it as geared as possible . 3 DRG . Which I don ' t play as much but I really like . In my case I ' m in a static , so I gear my raiding job first , putting all resources into it , then I gear my SMN as much as I can , and my DRG basically gets all the leftovers , since I like to play it once in a while , but I have no need to have the best gear in game , I would never step in a raid on it , maybe you can do something similar , but with your preferences P . For casters , the most efficient way to gear them and the way I do it , is to gear for BLM , and then branch out on SMN , for example , I have some items just for my SMN and others for my BLM , but the ones they share , I meld for BLM . however , if I decided to raid as SMN again , I would remeld everything for it .
