Nah, its based off weapon damage. Low level damage is just wonky because part of the damage calculation is subtracting a static amount of stats.

For example a level 1 GLD Seeker of the Sun has 20 STR and deals 8-9 damage against a level 1 mob. At level 2, their strength doesn't rise and they deal 7-8 damage against the same mob.
A level 1 MRD of the same race has 21 STR and deals 10-11 damage. At level 2, their strength rises and they deal the exact same damage.
A level 1 DRG of the same race has 22 STR and deals 11-12 damage, etc. etc.

This disparity goes away as your level rises, you gear up, and you equip your stat-increasing job change item.
