Ranger subclass

[Eckoh]

I am torn between Gloomstalker and Hunter. I like the concept of gloomstalker but it seems with colossus strike hunters will just do more damage overall as gloomstalkers only get a bonus of their first turn.

Gloomstalkers gave invisibility to creatures relying on darkvision, darkvision, and an extra attack on the first round of combat. One of the best frontloaded ranger subclasses in the game.

Hunter is meh

Not sure how it'll work in BG3, but TT Gloomstalkers can basically get permanent advantage on their attacks in combat as they're invisible to anyone using darkvision to see, which is a pretty big boost.

i get that, they are good in the opening attack, however past that is what i question.

For instance if you go hand and pull the entire goblin camp you get that extra 1d8 on everything you hit not at full HP with a hunter but you only get that extra 1d8 on the very first attack with gloom... however that being a dark area you should be be invisible to the goblins as long as you are not next to a torch.

just weighing pros and cons... i also do not know what you get post level 5 with hunter.

Gloomstalkers are better to alpha strike and trying to kill in the first turn, hunter is better for sustained damage, that's the short version. But imho gloom stalker is a LOT more interesting and has better sinergy for multiclassing.

Im gonna go gloomstalker / assassin with astinian. Extra stealth for sneaking and extra attacks for assassin stuff? yup.

i do wish i could gind out what the later level hunters get in BG.. i am still leaning tword hunter ranger knight and none of the other options really seem useful for rangers... not event hat heavy armor is that useful.
