So while yes, an individual nuke might hit for 2-3 times as much as your WS, you can build tp at a much faster rate. So in the end, the damage you do overtime should average close to the output of a THM...and for longer battles, you might even outdamage THM overall.

PS: Damage magic casting mages should always have the highest spike damaging abilities in any game. However, they trade off, HP's and survivability and having their damage limited by their available MP pool.
Thank you... Was going to reply this myself, but you got there first. I think anyone critizising a nuking mage doing too much damage should play that job themselves, see how long they can nuke the big nukes until the run out of MP or die...
