AnonymousNot as good as it is in D&D 5th edition rules for the tabletop rpg, but still damn good. If you want to absolutely **** on one enemy in the first round and remove them from combat, this is the best in the game. After that you're still alright, but most encounters are 3 rounds or less on average, so you still get a ton of mileage out of the class. If you find the +1 to a stat in act 1, you can start with an 18 in Dex which is amazing.
Note that Wisdom does not affect your initiative bonus here like it does in 5th edition; you get a flat +3. But that +3 is the difference between getting debuffed and set on fire, and you tearing apart the enemy wizard who was about to do that to you.

This is the most OP, and possibly cheesiest class in all of BG3. Ive been trying to do a Tactician Solo run (death= delete, no barrels)... something super challenging. Ive tried Barbarian, Fighter (BM), Sorcerer. Ive never made it past level 4. Then I tried Gloom Stalker... wtf. Once you reach L4 you are dealing out 20+ damage per shot, and the -5 on Sharpshooter is nothing since you can attack with advantage almost all the time with the bonus hide. Add to that free invisibility every short rest.... ridiculous. I stopped bec it was too easy. :/

I wonder if tri-class is the way to go for a Gloomstalker. You would want 5 Gloom for Ambusher, Superior Darkvision, Umbral Shrould, and Misty Step, 3 Thief for Fast Hands for an extra off-hand attack (melee or hand crossbow) and the cunning actions for utility, 2 Fighter for second wind and action surge. Leaves 2 remaining levels that you could either use to boost Thief to gain Uncanny Dodge for defense plus a feat or go into 4 Fighter for a subclass and a feat. Champion or EK might edge out Battlemaster since Maneuvers are full-round actions and GS/Thief seems like it wants to be built as an action economy King. Would be an absolutely brutal alpha strike at least hasted with dread ambusher into your main action attacks and bonus action offhand attacks, followed up by an action surge into more main hand attacks.

Only outclassed by the rogue's ability to re-hide and re-sneak attack every round. Perhaps Gloom/Rogue would make a top tier archer multi class.

If you wanna try something silly, make 4 gloomstalker team. 4 extra attacks on first turn + 4 ensnares basically destroy everything in act 1
