I'd be all for the "make them an engine of destruction" option B there. That's what SE intended them to be in the first place and was worried they'd be OP. Just go all the way with it.

Either way, it's pretty clear that Samurai and Black Mage need SOMETHING. I was really disappointed to see SAM get completely ignored for this patch, as someone aptly put it we're about to see the AST situation all over again. They're going to hit full-on rock bottom and THEN, someone at SE will finally notice.
