* GroundShatteringLanding: The powerful Decimate skill impacts the axe to the floor so hard it shatters the ground f

%%* MightyGlacier: To contrast with its fellow tank job Paladin's StoneWall. Warriors primarily soak damage through an enlarged HP pool and enhanced HP recovery rather than mitigation (notably, lacking access to shields), and they have more offensive options than the Paladin.

* HealingHands: On top of having the healing spells from the Conjurer class, White Mages also get their own healing spells as a supplement; Regen grants RegeneratingHealth, Divine Seal boosts healing potency, and Benediction can instantly restore a person's HP to full. Past level 50, White Mages gain even more healing abilities, such as Asylum to create a magical field to heal everyone over time if they're inside it, Assize to give instant healing to everyone near you while also damaging enemies, and Tetragrammaton to give instant healing that is like Benediction, but not as strong.

* RegeneratingHealth: The Regen spell restores a player's HP in small bursts for several seconds. Over its full duration, it is one of the most powerful single-target healing abilities in the game, short of Benediction.
** ''Heavensward'' gives White Mages the Asylum ability, which lays down a large field (comparable to the Scholar's sacred soil) that passively regens everyone standing in it.

The Marauder can further increase its offensive and defensive potential by becoming a Warrior which grants them stances that allow them to gain stacks that unleash [[TheBeserker savage attacks]] and {{Life Drain}}ing powers.

Sorcerers that specialize in commanding familiars, and delving into enfeebling and buffing spells. They use arcane [[{{Spellbook}} Grimoires]] with [[GeometricMagic geometric signs]] and [[FormulaicMagic formulas]] as the focus for their own magical casting. Later on, they can learn both the arts of the Ancient Allagan Summoner class, which summons elementals which have gained enhanced power from exposure to a primal of their element, or Scholars, a long lost healing class from the ancient city state of Nym, who used fairy familiars to assist them in healing warriors and residents alike of ailments, and prevent further harm coming to them.

* PracticalTaunt in Provoke, one of the more useful skills for a tank.

* CriticalHitClass: While critical hit is important to DPS in general, Archers and Bards make the most use out of it via a passive that lets their hardest hitting regular attack (bloodletter) reset its cooldown instantly when their damage over time attacks crit.

* TrickArrow:

** MultiShot: Quick Nock works this way.

** JavelinThrower: They can hurl their spears like them for ranged attacks with the Piercing Talon skill.

* BadAssLongRobe: Not only can you assemble attire that lets you wear colors with the same palette as the classic Blackmage attire of Fina Fantasy past, their Artifact, and Mythology armors with the partially tattered leather shawl, and long coat which goes from the collar covering the nose and mouth of the character to just below their knees looks very bad ass. Other options such as Alegan and Divine, and Cid Garlond Ironworks {{Magitek}} robes are available as well

* HavingABlast: Their standard DoT attack is ''Combust''.

* CriticalHitClass: Archer skills are very crit-focused and maximizing critical hit rate is important to getting the most out of them.

* {{BFS}}: They will wield great swords and other two-handed swords. Considering some of the current endgame ''one'' handed swords reach about chest height on the average character, one can only imagine how enormous these chunks of metal are going to be.
** To give an idea, the Au Ra Dark Knight shown at the Fan Fest had a greatsword that went down to his feet. The male Au Ra are as tall as female Roegadyn, which puts them somewhere around ''7 feet tall''.

** The setting does play with the stereotypes a bit, however; Ul'danian Lalafell tend to be ''much'' "craftier" than normal for their archetype, Mi'qote from Gridania tend to be legitimately and deeply spiritual, and a number of Roegadyn bemoan [[TheWorfEffect the stereotypes about them]].

* TimeMaster: Astrologians use their star-charting ability to predict the future, and they have four spells that affect the flow of time itself; Lightspeed, which makes many spells instant or near-instant but weaker as a trade off, Time Dilation which increases the duration of buffs the Astrologian applies to a party member, Celestial Stasis which stunsenemies and increases all ally buffs by five seconds, and their level 3 Limit Break Astral Stasis heals allies by rewinding time.

* CombatMedic: The Paladin can use the conjurer's healing spells, but unlike in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI'' they will lack any real power due to the classes low Mind stat. This trope however comes in full force when they unlock their own powerful healing spell ''Clemency''.

* MightyGlacier: To contrast with its fellow tank job Paladin's StoneWall. Warriors primarily soak damage through an enlarged HP pool and enhanced HP recovery rather than mitigation, and they have more offensive options than the Paladin.

Rapid Fire itself makes the next 2 (3 with trait) Weaponskills have their recast times reduced by 1.5 seconds, allowing for another Weaponskill at 1 second or less with Skill Speed bonus. Additionally, with the Gauss barrel equipped for more damage, both combos and Rapid Fire allow allows Machinists to instant cast weaponskills.

* FairyCompanion: Two of them actually:

** This is especially apparent with the Japanese naming themes behind their spells that were changed to sound more mystical in English, with skills having names like Encouragement Plan (Adloquium, which is Latin for the same thing), Raise Morale Plan (Succor), Field Medical Formation (Sacred Soil) and Live Encouragement Act (Lustrate)
*** Heavensward brought this into the English version as well, with Deployment Tactics and Emergency Tactics among their new abilities.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: Their weapons are referred to as "Star Globes", and are a sort of telescopic lens focus with a deck of tarot cards circling it. In the rare case that they do actually use it to attack, they slice at enemies with the cards.
