Black Mage's quirky cross class abilities

[Xianghua]

Just because they only get damage abilities, doesn't mean they'll do more damage.

What kind of logic is that?

Ya cleary 2 jobs that's sole purpose is to do damage. Only 2 jobs that will have skills to increase their damage. 2 out of 3 jobs that will spent the entire fight doing damage. Be able to use more Auto attacks and weapon skills. Hit Faster and harder.
Are going to suck compared to a job that has no skills to increase it's own damage. has to run around the field to cast those buffs.

If a Brd is able to out dmg mnk/drg/blm then the job system is really messed up.

Edit: I'm not sure what you have done in this game or how much you know.

But go get 2 even matched archers. Have 1 use lnc's abilities. and the other use only its own and compare the dmg. Now do the same with plg and lnc. while that archer is still only using its own abilities.
I Seriously doubt that archer not using lnc abilities will get close to the others.
