Scholar is a barrier healer Job in FFXIV<\/a> that’s adept at buffing the party with barriers when low on health. But it’s not enough to know your Job inside and out if your gear is not up to the necessary requirements. A sub-section of acquiring gear in FFXIV is also infusing this said gear with Materia, otherwise known as Materia Melding. <\/p>\n

Depending on the type of Job and the gear piece in question, several different kinds of Materia can be used to enhance your stats. So, if you want to know more about Materia Melding in FFXIV, we have the answers you need. This article will outline the best spreads and key stats to look out for when choosing Materia for your Scholar.<\/p>\n

Best Scholar Materia In FFXIV<\/h2>\n

When choosing Materia for any class in FFXIV, it’s important to know which stats this Job is trying to prioritize. DPS Jobs will often want as much Strength or Critical Hit as possible, while healers may instead choose to focus on Spell Speed or Speed, in general, to pump out heals as efficiently as possible. Regardless, if a certain playstyle suits you the best, whether this be landing huge critical hits or focusing on consistent damage, feel free to meld the Materia you want to your items. <\/p>\n

That being said, Materia Melding isn’t cheap, so it’s understandable why players want to spend their Gil and resources optimally. <\/p>\n

Here are some of the stats you should prioritize for Scholar.<\/p>\n

Best Scholar Materia in order of priority:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Critical Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Direct Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Determination<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Healers in FFXIV are still required to deal DPS when not actively healing an ally. Late-game raids will account for healer DPS in DPS checks, and if you are not contributing as much damage as possible, it may result in a wipe.<\/p>\n

    For this reason, healers will typically prioritize adding to their minimal base damage via the use of Materia. Critical Hit is a great damage amplifier that allows you to deal DPS during healing downtime. Unlike regen healers, Mind should be avoided, as Scholars do not restore raw HP. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
