Ordinarily I'd say a Blaster is better than a Scrapper for STF, especially given Ghost Widow's "haha I suck your life to heal, haha!" attack,
which she'll spam on foes in melee range. However, Riposte is BS/WP, if I recall correctly... and on top of that, she's tricked out the wazoo. I took
Sammy (Claws/WP) on an STF, and she didn't have any problems until we got triple-teamed by AVs (bad pull). But we nommed GW on a scrapper-heavy team,
because GW couldn't hold us. WP may not be able to resist the 100-mag hold/stun/whatever, but it recovers damned quick and seems to dodge it fairly often.
And Sammy isn't yet tricked out.
I've tangled with Riposte. I suspect her damage output may be higher than the average blaster.
My opinion is she'd be awesome.
Personally, if we have a different healer along, I'd prefer to bring the blastage. I've run STF enough times on Rhea that it's a bit old...
especially since her job devolves to 'spam heal on tank'. But if we don't have any others in the right level range, I'll bring her anyway. I
think me and Vyper run the only two level-50 Empathy characters in the SG (or associated ones).
