** Dark Knight, as originally implemented, also shared a lot, mechanically speaking, with Final Fantasy XI's Rune Fencers. Both are greatsword specialists, with a focus on parrying as their defensive skill (at least until it was removed in Final Fantasy XIV) and a particular focus in being a magic tank that can shut down enemy spellcasters. It's an unusual case as Rune Fencers debuted in XI a mere two years before XIV, and both development teams work closely together under the same department.

** The pre-6.1 Dark Knight's invulnerability skill "Living Dead" was easily the hardest one to manage. Once activated, you have a 10 second period in which you can drop to zero health. Once you do, you have another 10 seconds of essentially invincibility. The downside is that you must be healed back up to maximum health before those 10 seconds are over or else you will die properly. In an uncoordinated party, Living Dead can end up being a hinderance, as your healer may not realize you've used it until you suddenly drop dead. In a prepared group however, it is probably the strongest invulnerability skill. It has a shorter cooldown and doesn't require as precise activation for maximum benefit as Hallowed Ground, it lasts longer and doesn't tether you to the boss like Holmgang, and has a longer duration and shorter cooldown than Superbolide.

The upshot of this, is that when played badly a Dark Knight that leans too heavy on attack will not be able to use their best defensive skill for tankbusters (likely requiring some heavy assistance from the healers), and a Dark Knight that is too defensive will be losing out on damage output.

* DeflectorShields: "The Blackest Night" allows the Dark Knight to put an energy barrier on themself or a party member. This barrier absorbs damage totaling 25% of the maximum HP of the target. It lasts seven seconds or until it is broken broken, and can be cast up to four times a minute so long as the Dark Knight has enough MP. If the shield is broken, the Dark Knight can then use Flood of Darkness or Edge of Darkness once for no cost.

* HealThyself:HealThyself: The Warrior's main gimmick is that the job's defensive abilities heas HP rather than reduce incoming damage. As such, the Warrior has a lot of ways to recover HP.

** "Shake it Off" applies a shield to the Warrior and all nearby party members for thirty seconds. After Level 76, it also restores a small amount of HP and applies a weak Regen effect on everyone for fifteen seconds. This shield is further increased in potency if they use it while several of their other buffs are active, but removes those buffs in exchange.

** Dark Knight, as originally implemented, also shared a lot, mechanically speaking, with Final Fantasy XI's Rune Fencers. Both are greatsword specialists, with a focus on parrying as their defensive skill (at least until it was removed in Final Fantasy XIV) and a particular focus in being a magic tank that can shut down enemy spellcasters. It's an unusual case as Rune Fencers debuted in XI a mere two years before XIV, and both development teams work closely together under the same department. Since then, Dark Knight has changed mechanically, but the shared origin can still be seen.

* HumongousHeadedHammer: [[TheBerserker Warriors]] have access to a handful of war hammers in place of their usual axes. These hammers have heads the size of their wielders' torsos to go hand-in-hand with the superhuman strength granted by mastering one's Inner Beast.

Made a mistake by adding Tural to "Other Realms" instead of "Nations of Hydaelyn" with the initial post; correcting the error now.
