I kinda got this impression, at least from the White Mage one. Short of White Mage having some crazy powerful Magic Attack Bonus, I don't think that even having spells that are amazing will help.

On Black Mage, I don't think that it would be enough, and getting new spells isn't really a good idea. What would be a better idea is combining the magic critical with nuking for no enmity, and having cumulative magic effects get boosted more.

But seriously, for White Mage, there are only really two options, healing more, and killing more. And the second option is a bit hard to deal with. The first option... what are you going to do?

Make a spell that instantly heals party members and wipes all status effects? Oh wait.

I think it would be nice to see a fix for Benediction - raise all party members with no exp loss, heal them massively, wipe all status effects, even Zombie, Doom (100% of the time!), Weakened, Amnesia, Charm, Gradual Petrification, Terror, and Bust. I don't think this will ever happen however.

If someone wanted to give White Mages an offensive option as a two hour, I think it would roughly boil down to being a bit of a toy, but I have been in situations where despite everyone's efforts, they wipe with the mob nearly dead, but the White Mage is still alive. If the White Mage could be given a buff where they could finish off the monster more reliably then using a clutch charged Holy laser shot, that could, in theory, provide for entertaining gameplay. I think it could be something like "Holy Fury" - "Gain the cumulative stats and TP of all dead or weakened party members within area of effect." Still, no matter how powerful this could be, and no matter how much I like hitting things with hammers, I think being able to cure people from the dead to fighting strength instantly would always be the better choice.

Basically, a fixed Benediction will be a better choice in most cases for a White Mage over any other possible two hour they could give the job.
