I agree that paladins need buffed up more and I think ultimates kind of defeat the purpose of elemental weaknesses, but be reasonable. Nobody would care to be a priest/bishop if paladins get our main buff and we lose Genesis.
Also, Assassinate already kills pretty much every non boss monster once it's maxed, so giving it a percent chance to do something that it already does pretty much every time would be pointless.
Genesis was supposed to be the light at the end of the tunnel for bishops, we spend 2nd-end of 3rd doing crap dmg and being a support class at the mercy of how well of a party we could assemble to gain our meager scraps of exp off their exploits.... genesis makes bishops able to deal dmg much higher than our peers to kinda reward us for the hardships we've endured to get there
of course in these times getting to 4th job isn't that hard (pqs and leeching) but the originals (before we had a decent population of AM and Bish's) fit this idea quite well in that they didn't have anyone to get them to their genesis without the hardships
this tends to happen in almost all mmorpgs that the weakest/support class gets the best endgame "reward" be it an awesome skill or great weap to increase dmg to them only or something along the lines that they start lowest on the totem pole only to end up as top dog for dealing with the position for so long
