Let’s take a look at all the stats you can expect to see on Combat Jobs and gear in Final Fantasy 14, Endwalker!
In this guide, I go in detail with explaining how every combat stat on your character works, including some math to explain the relation between the different stats, and why one might be better than another.
I imagine that once you have watched this guide, you should know all that you need to know about each stat in the game, and if you want to know more, or want the extreme details I make use of myself, here is a link to Akhmorning’s Allagan Studies:

If this guide has made you interested in what stats to go for on your favorite job, I have a playlist of high level guides for every Combat Job, which do indeed include stat priority guidelines in their summaries:

Thanks for the video! It’s really useful to get a breakdown like this.
Great video. I never fully understood Direct Hit. This is concise and is informative
Changes in 6.2:
Actions that are guaranteed to Critically hit or Direct Hit (or both) now gain a damage boosting benefit from buffs that increase the chance of them. From tooltips it is not very clear whether this also applies to stats, however, if it does, then the argument that jobs with attacks that guarantee Direct Hits makes them scale worse with Direct Hit, no longer applies.
It does however mean that they don't scale worse with raid buffs for what its worth!
