Caster question

[Teiren]

Just to be clear, the only two Jobs in the game that are actually of the Caster role are Black Mage and Summoner. Besides being damage dealers, Casters also distinguish themselves by doing high AoE damage. I'm not sure how AoE damage compares between Black Mage and Summoner, though I think Black Mage does a little more, but Casters are certainly better than Melee at AoE.

White Mage casts spells, yes, but it is a Healer first. However, I will admit that a lot of battles are easy enough to allow you to deal decent damage even as a Healer, but you have to make sure no one gets KOed first. I personally think White Mage is the easiest healer to deal damage as because of strong stacking regen effects, though Scholar can also do good damage while healing because it has periodic damage and the fairy's healing.
