Jobs like White Mage and Black Mage have their own focus (focuses being Healing and dealing massive damge). Take bard for example, it gets a TON of buffs because that is it's focus traditionally - buffing. I personally would prefer them to add a class down the road who's role is debuffing, as you mentioned in your other thread. Kind of like how Red Mage in FFXI had all of the tier 2 debuffs.
