Why isn't scavenger Rey any good for sith raid?
I'm currently working on resistance trooper because I heard he was very effective in sith raid but when I asked recently about using him to replace finn I was told to replace Rey instead. Why is she not any good? Finn was downgraded pretty badly since his lead rework and as a tank I'd assume his damage isn't all that great compared to Rey who was once considered to be a glass cannon. What am I overlooking?

The best p1 team currently is: RJT BB8 R2 C-3PO Finn.
If you don't have all of those pieces, you mix and match as needed. RJT and BB8 are the only truly mandatory ones. Before the Finn nerf you used RT instead, because of tm gains, and before C-3 you would use Stick Rey if you didn't need a healer. You can also use Traya or Visas for survivability and consistency. Traya will lower your damage ceiling quite a bit though.
Scav isn't bad, just outclassed. Her four hit special can mean a lot of speed and tm to the target as well
I still use Rey and I'm in a top 5 guild where my guild mates put up 30 million sometimes. She's still a great damage dealer and an all around great toon. Yes there are better options now but I am more comfortable using her and I can manage a solid 10% of P1 using Jedi Rey, Scav Rey, Resistance Trooper, R2 and BB8. Play around with team comps and use one you like, doesn't have to be the best.
A well geared and modded Finn hits for over 200k each attack. That is why he is better than Scav Rey.
To be fair to all, that is with g12+ and modded correctly for offense and potency. But yes, 200k is pretty standard.
EDIT: Potency?
I think it is all in the mods. If you slack speed mods for finn, then RT may be your better option as scaling offense is less rng dependant than slicing for speed due to the primaries.

Maybe to make sure expose sticks on his attacks? Or because it increases the chance of multiple stacks of expose (one from Rey’s leader ability, one from his special)? I’m not sure why they focus in O and potency.
Yes, but Takedown also has a separate chance to inflict Expose. So, with enough Potency it could potentially inflict 2 stacks on Nihilus. I regularly get 2 stacks out of it in HAAT.
STR bosses have stacking tenacity. Maybe it would make sense in lower tiers, but not worth it in heroic.
Part of Nihilus’ stacking tenacity in p1 ends after he takes a turn then starts building again as he takes damage. That’s why it’s always easier to land things like Confuse, or JTR’s Mind Trick debuffs if you get those moves off right after Nihilus attacks and before any of your toons attacks.
But largely I agree with you. After the first few rounds of attacks landing debuffs on Nihilus is very hard and RNG based. I always do a little dance when JTR sticks a speed down late in the fight. I’m just trying to guess as to why he thinks he needs potency.
Not to mention confuse or mindtrick don't stack his tenacity since they do no damage.
Who said they did? I just said it’s easier to stick them after he attacks.
The point is you can hit him with those debuffs and hit the sides with attacks, in order to stack the debuffs up. Can't do that with Finn.
Really the point is that you're wasting better stats if you're chasing potency.
Yeah, not really sure how we got here since I think we both agree on that lol.
