They are. Wand Gear buffs up their melee damage enough that instead of spamming techs until I run out of PP and then using weak melee attacks. I'm spamming techs until I run out of PP and still dishing out decent damage. They still aren't as good at pure teching as forces though.
EDIT: On the topic, I think whether or not you want to wait depends on how much you want subclassing. I actually think fighter makes a better subclass to techer for pure damage because of stances unless you're really interested in Techer's element based skills so I'm not really not really sure you should just wait for techer specifically.
