Thank you so much for watching my bros! If there are any other classes you want to see, please give a shout! Don't forget to check the playlist at the end of the video!

23:01-23:16 made me subscribe. That was one of the best things I've ever heard on YouTube. Made my day.

Beast master pets are so good. I love the fact that their abilities are per turn. Its really valuable at low level to be able to use more abilities when spell slots are limited

[FlyingFox]

Wood Elves also get proficiency in perception (from being an Elf) and stealth (from being a Wood Elf). That's two free proficiencies in Dex and Wis skills, abilities which are likely to be high for a Ranger.
That, together with the movement range and how well the race fits ranger roleplay-wise, makes the Wood Elf the number one choice.
Edit: oh, never mind, you mention it later.

Been playing Ranger with my friends and I love how much utility I bring with sneak stuff and disarming traps and lock picks. I can dish out some respectable damage also. But this is before I've been thinking of dual classing into rogue. I can't wait to see how that it going to feel. Thanks for the video!

[CharliMorganMusic]

Thank you. I've been trying to make Rangers work but didnt know how.

I am doing a coop mode play with a friend as a Drow Gllomstalker/Urchin background. Im running longbow and archery build. Its so much fun!

[Rukdug]

As someone who's loved the idea of the Ranger ever since seeing Lorn of the RIngs as a kid, I was always disappointed with 5E's base Ranger and LOVE what Larian did to rework it. Doesn't feel like it lives or dies based on subclass anymore, and the widely viewed as worst subclass is really good now.

Greetings from Germany and a huge thanks for the great guides for the classes and much more about bdg3. I am pretty new to the Universe (just heard about the classes and the races but didn‘t know them in detail) and the guides helped me so much to understand certain mechanics ❤. A huge thanks for these awsome guides. Sorry if some things are written wrong its realy difficult to write a proper text in englisch with german autocorraction.😅

[marcusbullock]

I think his favorite background is the criminal 😂 he always brings it up.

[Norrie_S]

Just want to use this post to thank you for all your videos. I am as new as it can be to this genre and am waiting a few more days to play this on the PS5.
Your content has been invaluable to me as a complete newcomer and this one in particular has cemented my first play through.
Spoiler free, but without being vague, they have helped me a great deal in making this journey much less fraught with ignorance.
Done the like, sub, comment, etc.

18:04 Actually, with Dark Urge, if you have Speak with Animals active the squirrel encounter is quite mundane. Could be a good reason to choose Ranger for a Dark Urge playthrough. I think if your character can understand the creature's aggression, those animal instincts are less likely to kick in.

Gloom stalker & rogue multi FTW

TYVM for the great content

[AgentWebs]

I'm a fan of unorthodox builds, so I chose sanctified stalker and built around sacred flame

[Miller]

Playing as a Gloomstalker is a fun way to kill off multiple targets with Astarion in combined ambushes. Surprise is so good. If you're feeling spicy, Level 5 Gloomstalker and Level 3 Assassin gets an initial surprise attack with advantage, +3 to initiative, then Dread Ambush, 2 Sneak Attacks and an ability to hide again all with advantage. You can delete enemies before they even have an opportunity to move.

[Demogarose]

There are two Longswords in Act 1 (one in the Underdark and one from a vendor in the Creche) that have the Finesse property. Both are +1 weapons and have some nice abilities as well. Just saying.

[casket-crew]

After taking Ranger to 12, my conclusion is that the best ranger is a Fighter/Ranger/Rogue. You get weapon and armor proficiencies, superiority dice to disarm and trip at range, sneak attacks, hide/dash as an extra bonus action, and you're pretty much a lock picking, breaking & entering machine.

[yoshi]

I go 5 in hunter for double attack and colossus, 3 in thief for anmbush or extra bonus, 4 in fighter for utility. Pretty consistent in longer fights.

Seeing this video Ill have to play a beastmaster now :o didnt know how they changed them

[AudreyandmeAu]

Great guide I’m really enjoying your BG3 content
