Well at high levels with Reflector cutting up 80% of damage really hampers a lot of the mages power. However I believe Light Mages have a sort of advantage since they can deal with any debuff sent their way excepting a direct stun. Still mages usually have high LK or should have high LK to avoid getting stunned easily.
At higher levels what would really hurt a Mage coming from a coon is the fact that their ranged skills deal some really heavy damage in comparison to a mages DP (which is why a 1144 Light Mage can be tough to chew specially if they bring in Rust) CF,OP and FH are all dangerous skills with FH stunning when it hits.
I believe all classes can actually put up a very good fight later jobs and the power>sense>charm>magic>power is just a comparison of which job has certain advantages against what job.
For example at third job Buffalo can hurt Coons because most their attacks are not really entirely physical anymore. Blade Master is wind element. Brandish and River Sea Cutting are water as well as hurt a lot (BM alone does AP*5.0 ranged)
On the other hand a Hydro stealth fox can probably kill a magic type since only Buffalos and Lions can see them and they can get close enough to hit with Surprise, followed by a hard Stone Strike, and probably while the mage scrambles to get soem space hit with Shuriken Master or depending on cool time (hopefully cool time is long) cloak again.
So the scale of which class > class is more of a referral of how a class may have significant advantages over another class. Im sure as heck a 1144 Light Dragon correctly setup can really be a pain for a coon since they can heal themselves and remove de buffs. As well as mitigate damage coming from Reflector.
Also notice some classes have skills that apparently aid others. For example Cats gain a skill which "silences" Magic types. This is non removable by Treatment. Yet foxes gain the ability to remove this de buff. On the other hand it seems Lions can grant the ability to see stealthed foxes (not sure bout this) and buffalos can remove it. So maybe we will be seeing skills that are there to aid other classes for more partying purposes I assume.
