At high levels, Blizzard and Meteo are more versitile as they really don't NEED elemental advantages anymore like Genesis tends to need even in to the lvl 170's.
Meteo is not shafted; it doesn't cost as little as Gen, and it doesn't have freezing, but the book is infinitely easier to get, and it is cheap. I've seen Meteo 30 on sale for 3 mil. Gen 30 and Blizzard 30 cost hundreds of millions. If you're really short on cash, that's something to consider. Takaxsan, a lvl 189 F/P on my server, took advantage of this, and now he's at an obscene lvl. I guessed that's what he was doing, and I asked him, and indeed he cited the cheap cost of F/P books as the reason he picked that class to grind more efficiently. At 189, nobody cares whether you're F/P or I/L or Bishop. You're nuking the pumpernickel out of everything in sight. Rank's good too.
Also, this IS a roleplaying game. In roleplaying terms, F/P is just plain hilarious. Skunk with gas mask and Mist in FM is a classic, but if your F/P friend goes AFK to bake cookies, you can joke about them being turned to ashes cause the Meteo overdid it, etc. Pyromaniac humor is very nice.
