You can go Beast Master or pick something else from Hunter than Colossus Slayer, but that is harder to play effectively, so I recommend Hunter + Colossus Slayer since you're new to the game. And since you're a Ranger, picking Hunter with Colossus Slayer at level 3 will make sure your damage with both is good for all of the early access. Picking two-weapon fighting style at level 2 will let you be effective with both dual wielding and archery. Dexterity is the primary stat for both finesse melee and ranged weapons. However, I think it is rather difficult to have a credibly strong character in both weapons, correct? Surely the main thing will be playing the role, I will not make choices to have perfect statistics. Thank you very much to everyone for the answers, you are very kind. I wouldnâ€™t go before level 4 if youâ€™re new to BG3, though it is beatable at level 3 (chances are youâ€™ll be at least level 3 by the time you first meet Ethel if you follow what seems to be the logical sequence of events the game wants you to follow). Getting Auntie Ethelâ€™s hair in particular involves specific roleplaying choices that you may not want to make, so donâ€™t feel you have to! Plus, even if you want to thereâ€™s a tricky battle so donâ€™t rush to her house. You need to give it some thought if your ranger isnâ€™t going to be ineffective in combat, but many different builds can work. If you want your ranger to be more effective out of combat (eg to talk to NPCs) you could, say, stick with 16 DEX and pop two points into CHA instead.

Just because the OP says they are new to this world, I will say that this way of maxing stats and optimising damage isnâ€™t at all necessary to succeed.

They haven't implemented sharpshooter yet but mods can do this. The ranged buid is stronger in my opinion in baldur gate 3. (At lv 8 take +2 dex or dual wielding feat). In addition you will have to keep your concentration for the hunter's mark, face to face it is more difficult. You can make 3 attacks at 1D8+4 damage and +1D6 if you have the hunter's mark (but this will cost you a bonus action and therefore the first turn you will have one less attack). (18 dex) Then at level 4 take +2 dext to get to 20 or dual wielding feat to equip 2 rapiers. Go to Auntie Ethel and eat her hair for +1 dexterity. (The only default is that all your damage is piercing, some enemies can be resistant to this).ĭual wielding: Begin dual wielding style. Each turn, use your hunter's mark bonus action, and then land 2 ranged attacks that do massive damage on every boss. (you can take sharpshooter at lv 4 instead wich is very strong too). At level 8 take sharpshooter which reduces your attack by 5 but increases your damage by 10 if you hit. At level 5 with proficiency, dexterity and your bow +1 and your combat style you have +11 on the attack (you will hit at everytime and more if you get blessing from priest or paladin). (18 dex) Then at level 4 take +2 dext to reach 20. Then you must choose to specialize in dual or archery. (Immune sleep, advantage against charms, +10 feet of moove, perception ) With 17 dexterity. Here is a reddit thread I made about it quite a while ago: https:/ / r/ dndnext/ comments/ rmeymw/ dd_5e_making_an_effective_dual_wielder/ We don't know how multiclassing will work in BG3, but they did say that they're adding it, so it should be a good combination. That will keep the damage competitive all the way to level 20. If you want to play a dual wielder at higher levels, go Rangr to level 5 and then multiclass into Rogue. Here are some numbers I ran in another thread: https:/ / / ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=838691#Post838691 On a Hunter Ranger, a regular dual wielder will still hit harder than a Warlock with Eldritch Blast + Agonizing Blast + Hex (Blastlock, AKA baseline). But, since the game is practically a D&d transposition, I don't know if doing so I would only be weak in advanced levels.Dual wielding is strong lvl 1-4 and passable at lvl 5. Yeah thatâ€™s the point, I would like to use both bow and double weapons (whatever got finesse) depending on the situations.
