I started a Conjurer and got into the White Mage Job. Up to this point, it's been fairly easy going, my 2 offensive attacks seem to work well, and I would seldom need to even heal myself in an altercation....

But as I get to level 45-48, it seems there has been a tremendous loss of offensive effect.....
Am I expected to have my Chocobo out fighting from this point on and concentrate on healing her? Or is there some other trick I am missing?

I seem to die constantly now.....
