Hunter | Baldurs Gate 3 Wiki

This is the worst ranger sub, even beast master is better.

I put 7 lvl on rogue\thief and 5 on ranger/hunter.

Got dual
Wielder fighting style.

Got alert and savage attacker as feats.

17 on dex + hex gift to make it 18. U can also use gloves of the giant to get that juice 23 str.

some on con to boost life and some on wiz to help with saving trows
Race is Orc.

Gear: Saverok Helm, Blodthirst, Undermountain King Short Sword, DeadShot, and also the cape that enchance crit when hide (think that would be nice to have any other cape, tough, because u will want to make use off your two bonus actions as a offhand atack. Used risk ring too. Amulet that grants paralise when crit. Gloves that gives 1-6 fire damage (but i think that the glove that ignores resistences would be a nice one either).

First hit main hand u apply vulnerability, then u have another 3 hits in that foe are vulnerable to piercing damage.

Uses sneak attack just as a reaction, never as my main action. Using that way u can use a reaction after a hit with main ou off hand lands succesfull critical.

Absolutly fun to play with this build. It lands tons o damage. When crit it doubles the damage off your attack, and double again because of the vulnerability apllied by the blodthist, and also apply the orc bonus and hunter bonus doubled too. If u add the sneak attack as a reaction u can deal something near to 5 hits and something like near 200 damage in one turn.

After try many hours I found Hunter is a strong one Subclass
not a OP class but balance with offense and defense, pretty decent damage with high survivability

Hunter's Mark + Colossus Slayer + Strange Conduit Ring give you 3d18 bonus damage every turns with a right weapon build hunter can deal damage over 50+ per hit make Hunter can be a decent hitter (but not OP) with some support spell like spike growth or fog cloud or bless if multiclass with Cleric

also Multiattack Defence -4 attack roll or 20% hit chance allow Hunter can survive longer, with 24+ AC or Heavy armor master + good Heavy armor allow Hunter can be a best tanker in game too

sadly Hunter after lv8 aren't not worth to build unless you are Bow Hunter, Volley is a good skill but also pain because need invest to lv11 Hunter, in my opinion better multiclass after lv8 to fighter or Cleric

for me I prefer start as fighter for Cons proficiency allow me can use Hunter's Mark without lose concentration before multiclass to lv 8 hunter, if you don't need 3rd Feats can try 3 Fighter 8 Hunter 1 Cleric too

Currently playing with a friend. I'm thinking of multiclassing Astarion as an Assassin into Hunter on my own playthrough.
Burst Damage at the start and when an enemy isn't dead, he still gets 1d8 bonus damage from colossus slayer.
He even has just enough wisdom for it.

Colossus Slayer is arguably the best part of the subclass until you reach level 11. And even when you reach that, it's still amazing.

Reason for this being, consistency. Every single fight you will get the benefit of Colossus Slayer so your maximizing your use from it. While the other two level three abilities have their case uses they don't come into play nearly as often.

This one probably starts out kinda weak but then steady gets the best. The level 11 volley and whirlwind abilities is where this class really starts to shine. Having all of your attacks just becoming aoe is incredible to have on a martial class given how many encounters in this game have a crap load of mobs.

This also lowkey makes you amazing at cc if your weapons are triggering on hit effects since you can deal damage while inflicting conditions without expending any resources. For your final level, if you don't care about feats, I'd recommend just taking a dip into wiz so that you can scribe and use all the wizard spells instead since the ranger spell list is kinda meh while 3rd level wizard spells gets you some decent utility with things like haste, slow, shield, counterspell, misty step, etc.

I've considered a duellist Hunter with a 1lvl dip into monk to access the bonus hand attack and flurry of blows. Sounds quite good with hunter's mark.

And it gives you more options in term of weapons since you can convert pretty much any non two handed weapon into a dext weapon (just don't get defensive duellist if you plan to get a non finesse weapon)
