Youre party is deperately lacking in the "ranged" niche.
I second Gunthar's suggestion for a Genasi Blaster Wizard.

So someone who doesn't remotely fill the 'scout' archtype? Good suggestion.

I see da_duke is back to make some more horrible suggestions.  Listen to Zath, Erachima, and Renzhe on this one.

Third for the Genasi blaster.

... or you could go with an orb wizard optimized for both damage and control. (Wis secondary)

Blasters are a waste of time and space.

Especially morninglord invoker blasters. They suck.

Hmm... a Dex/Wis morninglord invoker, potentially hybrid with something else (ranger, it'd be hilarious), could actually be kinda cool thinking about it...

If you're looking for a ranged scout that's not just an archer, I mean.

I was specifically thinking of blaster wizards, who manage to be bad wizards and bad Sorcerers at the same time. Blaster Invokers just take on a PP and keep blasting things with radiant dazes and stuns

I missed the scout bit at first reading but the reason I suggested the Blaster is because that doesn't appear to be an optimized group and it would fill their holes without throwing the party balance out-of-whack. Something really tricked out would be like bringing a howitzer to a slap fight.

The thing about the Wrathvoker is that it sacrifices nothing on Control (maybe 1 Daily Power?) to deal Benchmark Striker damage

Hey Jugs,
Thanks for giving me credit for seconding somebody's idea...I guess. You must be confused.

Also, a blaster mage can still MC into a "scout" archetype class and still fluff around it.

Seekers are traps and we all know that. But a Morninglord Invoker MCed into Shaman would be quite interesting.
