That's why I think SE needs to completely change the class come 4.0. If any of the Black Mages want to tell me if I'm missing anything please let me know.
Black Mages, played at the highest level, are usually the strongest DPS on all fights with the right party composition. It has one of the higher skill ceilings in the game especially when you are still progressing fights but that's also what makes it fun and rewarding once you finally get comfortable with the fight and everything clicks in.
