This is pretty much true of any MMORPG. The fighter classes are usually meant to soak damage while some ranger/mager in the back deals heavy damage. Fighters CAN deal decent damage, not high, but it comes at the price to tank as well as they should. Basically, this is how a little party/squad looks if everyone does their real jobs.
Fighter
Mage Archer
Cleric
Just my opinion though, from what I've seen and what I've learned.
