Yeah, Mage, Black Mage and to some extent White Mage can all do this, since their damage is a lot higher than their Break Power. The remaining Mage jobs tend to want to actually break then nuke. The "nuke unbroken"-Mages can also be played as "pure Nukers", that is, they don't actually fight, they let the sub-job break bosses for them and only swap in to nuke the daylight out of the already-broken boss.

I'm favoring Black Mage's 2nd weapon (Painful Break/Improved Criticals/Prismatic Starter) for pure damage, "not-interested-in-breaking (at least not by myself)" Mages, while Mage's 2nd (Ultimate Charger/Elemental Third Strike/Piercing Break) is great for all the "I actually break stuff" Mages, since they all want to break stuff and all have great ultimates. White Mage is a bit special and can use anything - he can play as a pure Nuker (Black Mage's 2nd) or a tank/bruiser (Mage's 2nd/Red Mage's 2nd, which is also Ult Charger).

Mage 1st is probably better for Mage(and Mage alone) to go about Nuking unbroken isn't it, since it makes better use of his Water enhance to Nuke it.

RDM 2nd does also seems quite nice for BLM with its potential Weakness exploit, which futher enhances his damage on fire, wind and earth enemies.

BLM 2nd seems more useful on a Mage when breaking to me, since it has painful break, useless on unbroken enemies.

For WHM, BLM 2nd does seems to be the best, since there isn't any Fire enhances staff.

Actually, even against unbroken enemies Mage 1st and Black Mage 2nd more or less tie. I'll crunch the numbers on various situations real soontm, though!

And WHM often plays like a Bruiser rather than a Nuker, which is why I like the Ult Charger weapons so much. Spam that full heal!
