I'm sure black mages will do more noticeable damage in end game fights, and don't forget black mages are getting a way to manage hate and mp better. This will lead to a huge boost in the total dmg a black mage can do considering MP and enmity are the biggest things holding thaumaturges back.
Your reason for sleepaga being useless doesn't even make sense. Just because black mages get a spell that can make another spell useless doesn't mean they're both useless.... just don't use them together....

You seem to understand that the jobs are supposed to bring clear roles to parties, and yet you're complaining about not being able to cure yourself as a blackmage.... something that's not part of the blackmage role! -_-
Flare would be an absolutely dumb spell to use unless you have multiple black mages about to use it and guarantees all the mobs die. Cause if you pull too many like some parties have done and you DoT them and the all live, great they all have dots so they can't be slept. I never said sleepga was useless, I said in that situation sleepga would be useless, never said it was totally useless like Flare will be.

I also complain that if I can't cure myself as the Black Mage role, yes I have necrogenesis and second wind. It irks me that White mage can toss out heals, and be good at dps in certain situations, when it's role is the HEALER. If it's role is to heal now, why the fudge does it get any form of dps that is possibly equal to black mage in any form?
