The thing is, the so-called useful guide opened with a very poor tone towards electric blasters, claiming that they're inferior, and that anyone attempting to powerlevel with one is better off re-rolling.
It comes across as fairly immature, and as an Electric Blaster, I don't tend to see these problems. Of course, I'm also smart enough to add *range* enhancements to my build, so while you're all arguing about maximizing damage, I'm doing just enough from far away to wipe out mobs before they can touch me. Does it take a bit longer than AoE attacks? Maybe. I never said I was sufficiently well-versed in the art of powerleveling to know what the exact fastest method was for XP gain per hour, but you know, I'm pretty effective.
Maybe if the original post said something closer to "I don't know electric blasters well enough to provide any input," then this would have never blown out of proportion, as Pie might have just posted her tips, and we'd be done with this already.
(Besides, any thread that claims that a certain AT mix is going to have the easiest time powerlevelling is just *begging* for the nerfbat, which I'm sure we all want to avoid.)
