instead of balancing your stats you might as well just start grinding Amdapor Keep and saving Tombstones of Philosophy for Darklight gear which is already somewhat optimized for their given classes/jobs. I started out ARR by making some sexy melded gear which...i regretfully found out just can't be better than darklight in most cases because of the item level and the caps on certain stats, especially "main" stats, like mind for healers. There really isn't much freedom with gear right now if you want to have the best you can get. Big shame in my opinion.

Once i stopped being stubborn and finally bought all of the healer Darklight gear, i saw MAJOR improvements in every area: HP, MP, heals, defense, etc... they kind of horseshoe us into the "tiers" of gear. the only alternative is absurdly expensive/difficult to obtain, crafted equipment and breaking tens, maybe hundreds of top tier materia.
