Archers have a totally nonfunctional skill kit. Tell me Charge X is good with a straight face. Or that Black Mage doesn't legitimately just get weaker over time as you unlock rank 3 and 4 spells thinking they'll be good when they end up being terrible.

Charge is not fantastic; I probably wouldn't stick it on another job. In the context of Archer, however, it's fine. Your Archer is most likely just attacking on the majority of their turns anyway, you might as well cram a little extra damage in wherever you can. Also you're completely discounting R/S/M skills - Speed Save is fantastic, and Concentrate is situational but very nice to have available. As far as Black Magic goes, level 3 and 4 spells are actually fairly functional until mid-chapter 4 and can be extended past that if you're willing to invest in Short Charge.
