But ahem, if you have a choice between Rping between two characters who are otehrwise identical aside from one is a rookie hero working to avenge the death of his mentor from the Rikti wars, and the other is the illigitimate child of Lord Recluse and Ghost Widow, which are you going to RP with huh?

No shields with the energy blaster, as for assault rifle it's an assault rifle that can shoot napalm and has a flame thrower, the Arachos soldier one has more realistic attachments.

And when did I say tossing the lore in the trash was a legitimate option that should be pandered to?

Well you don't really need shields, I mean blasters do just fine without them, I quite enjoy blasters really.
You also don't have to take Flamethrower and so on with AR, leaving you with more regualr gunrelated powers then the Soldier has.

And what precedence are you talking about exactly?
I dunno about this dumb argument but today I rolled up a character named A Man Made Of Bees who uses Kinetic Melee to represent attacking people with bees. Because he is made of bees.
It was a pleasant surprise to discover the powerset actually makes a buzzing noise when in use!

So, I can use a blaster and skip powers in both my primary AND my secondary to take stuff like tough and weave and stealth, all of which pretty much suck (in comparison) to try and get something workable, effectively shooting my effectiveness in the foot;|

Or I can use the SoA AT and be stuck with only three kinda meh gun options BUT get better rifle attacks actual armour, effective stealth and generall not have to gimp and penalise myself to fit the concept better.
Yeah, I know which one im taking there, every freaking time.
