It not like stormtroopers armor was design to stop phaser beams.

This was mentioned in another thread.
We finally concluded that, without knowing the comparative powers of Blasters and Phasers, we cannot answer this question.

Although, I would instinctively say yes, as we have not seen anything indicating that Blasters are more powerful in any way then Phasers...

We have seen the opposite though.

Blasters, even when set to 'scorch the target a little', blow straight through stormtrooper armor with no trouble. Phasers will do the exact same thing.
