And for the power-house caster comment that is about every single game ever made where you have the choice of being some kind of wizard class, not specifically black mage from FFXI.

Name one situation where Black Mage wasn't an all desired job? That is so redicoulously easy, that I already stated it. Miser, monks do so much damage to it that I couldn't really compare. The most you really can do in the miser fight is sleep slugs. There is your one fight you asked for. Need another?
or Princess in CC, Ring of Talons is far better dmg than Flare.
