What you say makes sense but technically by this logic SAM and especially MNK would be doing less damage than any two handed class in this scenario and PLD would be more effective than SAM due the the better durability of a straight sword (which contrary to what Katana worshipers think were sharp enough to sever limbs and the like). So overall pointing out the weapon types is and always will be a moot point when considering balance, and as I said PLD uses magic as well.
