    As People have been asking. The build was as follows by the end of the game:
    Level 5 Ranger - Gloomstalker: Mainly for the Extra Attacks at Level 5 for Ranger and Misty Step at Gloomstalker Level 5
    Level 5 Rogue - Assassin: Sneak Attack addition 1d6 damage and more proficiency for general stuff
    Level 2 Fighter: Action Surge at Level 2
    By end game you have potentially 6-7 attacks before they can move if you surprise the enemy, not including the initial "Surprise Attack" since that is free if successful.
    Arguably a better build would be:
    Level 3 Fighter into Champion which would give you better chances for critical Hit
    Level 4 Rogue
    Level 5 Ranger
    I decided to opt for more consistent damage increase and proficiency since my Magic uses could easily put people into states where I always have advantage and hit those Crits anyway (Telekinesis, Hold Person/Monster)
    Its a fun build but I would argue its more fun on your 2nd playthrough since you would have encounter knowledge at this point and can exploit it to its maximum. Or just Reload ofc :)

    “Why Rogues are the best”
    Immediately shows Extra Attack, a feature that Rogues are very well known for not having.

      TRUE 😂 a bit misleading but Rogues are so good ONLY if multiclassed, they have potential to be amazing only if multiclassed
      Alone... well, have fun spending the whole game praying for advantage

    Sadly the high level rogue levels offer very little. A rogue basically has to multiclass to keep up with other classes

    Pure rogue is pretty trash, same with pure ranger. But gloomstalker + assassin, that's another story. I did this with sarevok and get him down to around 30% in a single turn. Plus paralyzed him for 2 turns with the ring that gives paralyze on crit

      @sockbat25  11 месяцев назад +2

      I just agreed to help him out of his contract but since that is bugged on PS5 (as off the time this was uploaded) I just walked behind him, saw a blind spot and then just went for it after making sure my whole party were also behind him. Oh and I guess I turned his Cat beast against him first so maybe that?

    • @Game-Breaker97

      You can walk around behind him on the right side. You gotta jump to the spot and stay out of the light or use invisibility to get the sneak attack.
