Ranger 9, Rogue 3

[untitled]

any fine tuning recommendations?

I would do Ranger 8 to get both ASIs and extra attack, and the go rogue 4. This way you get all 3 ASIs and don't lose anything else than acccess to Ranger lvl 3 spells I think.

I would do ranger 5 / rogue 7

Yeah 8/4 is more optimal in most cases..

You could do that. Or, you could play a Gloom Stalker.

Or do gloomstalker/assasin and become a monster.
I’d also go 5 / 7.
5 ranger gives you 2nd attack, ranger gets nothing after that.
7 rogue for as much sneak attack dies you can get.
2ASI is enough, you don’t really need a 3rd one.

Oh, Gloomstalker 8 / Assassin 4. Just the idea of shooting 3 guaranteed sharpshooter crits on 1st turn gives me goosbumbs. 8/4 split would mean I'd get extra attack from Ranger, 3 ASIs that I would need to have +4 DEX and Sharpshooter feat.

Also, I would argue that if they give Gloomstalkers WIS save proficiency at lvl 7 like in 5e, it would very much be worth it.

Pure gloom stalker?

My go to from research would be 5 GS, 3 BM, then assassin all the way.

3/3/6 for gloomstalker/assassin/fighter also doable.

you can still get 2 ASI this way, and action surge for first turn surprise round nova damage

Yea adding battlemaster on top of gloomstalker/assasin for action surge and manuevers is pretty broken.
Might be one frhe best multiclasses in 5E for pure dmg.

Assuming they let us do three classes and the XP to make it possible is manageable.

Fighter 3 / Assassin 3 / Gloomstalker 6

We know there us achievent for multiclassing into all 12 classes on single character. So it will be possible.

Yes, but ranger 5/fighter 4/assassin 3 should be strictly better, right? Loses nothing, gains 2nd level ranger spells? Or am I missing something?

As mentioned a 8/4 split is probably better, I don't think any lvl 9 ranger ability is superior to a feat/ASI.
Unless the 2 level 3 spells you lose out on have some amazing thing I do not know about.
