Ranger's **aren't** bad because bad features don't spoil the bunch, amazing features are mutually exclusive, Tasha's didn't fix them, they just enhanced an already great class and made them amazing They get spellcasting "wait but that's just one feature" No not really, Spellcasting is basically multiple features in it of themselves Heres some very small standouts like Absorb Elements Aid Goodberry Pass without Trace Locate Object Conjure Animals Plant Growth Revivify Conjure Woodland Beings Greater Restoration Hunter's Mark isn't there because it's overrated, support your team more with more Goodberry casts and defend yourself with Absorb Elements more! People say Ranger's are bad Rogues are better until they see the Ranger consistently dealing more damage providing more utility than any Rogue could ever dream of Also this comment originally said (wrongly because Horizon Walker and Monster Slayer suck) XGE exists XGE : Hey Rangers, wanna have subclasses that make your experience way more fun and the Ranger much more balanced and NOT a joke?

Because it's the description of the absolute peak of the rangers abilities

The only problem is I grew up with a geologist for a father and know a Veloceraptor is the size of a Turkey. Needless to say Jurassic Park was confusing for a whole lot of reasons. ( I guess Cretaceous park just didn't have the right ring to it.)

@@samuelsilbory6672 im gonna choose not to believe you because that makes them wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy less scarry than when they were the size of a horse.

@@samuelsilbory6672 would a velociraptor taste like a turkey too cause i now cant stop thinking that if they would exist nowadays we would use them like turkeys, which is kinda hilarious!

How about the expression of pure bloodlust on the Ranger's face?

"Step on me Paladin." - Bard

Then the paladins brother (cleric and paladin are both stoughtbough) is VERY CONCERNED

i love that gay and im rooting for her

Felicia is so Thirsty that she is literally breaking the mold trying to get with Sasha. Yes I remembered their names your point?

@@WaveShock007 THEY HAVE NAMES [swoons]

So a normal raptor lol

Dakotaraptor >

I mean, they were feathered...but you'd have to have been a pixie to ride a velociraptor. Gnomes and Halflings are even a little too big, and you need a Dinonychus for anything approaching your average humanoid.

*HA! Your all down there riding your Velociraptors and Dakotaraptors while I'm up here with the King of feathered Dinosaurs, THE YUTYRANNUS!*

@@VictoryNibbles Utahraptor maybe?

Everyone wants to be stepped on.

Bard wants mommy Paladin to sit on her face.

I saw that and was "of course she does"

While that was obviously intentional, I'm now wondering, because of where the Bard statue is located in on the end-video table.

Fr tho

If this were pathfinder he'd never run out of classes.

ilwolf96 that would unironically be amazing

He said in the Q&A that it would

Go watch his Q&A video he did. It's informative.

Yeah Tasha made ranger way better

I’d like to see a Fighter that at 11th level can teleport through windows silently, twice a turn. No joke. I considered Fighter for a character concept that would multiclass with Rogue, but saw Horizon Walker and fell in love.

@@LocalMaple Gloomstalker is also awesome and Tasha even changed Beastmaster. However I think the only real problem with this subclass is that you have to waste your action to let your animal companion attack, so you can just ask your DM to let you use your bonus action to order to your animal companion to move and attack and you should be fine. The variety of animals you can choose is infinite.

@@fm_0523 Tashas Beastmaster replaces the beast list and replaces them with three statblocks that can have any appearance you want. Land, Sea and Sky and are probably a stronger than most if not of the available beast list, and can be resurrected with a 1st Level spell slot. (Within an hour) Those are then commanded with the Bonus Action. Worst you could say is that the changes came with a loss in flavour. But yeah, it's never wrong to just ask the DM.

@@LocalMaple Echo Knight. Though I guess that is only once.

At least she died like a badass right

Idk, thats a pretty stupid death

Any death worth singing half sad half funny songs about is a death worth dying.

That is cool as fuck

Well you could resurrect her as a werewolf now...

Totally needs to be a short stint where JoCat rambles in R'lyehian while describing the Great Old One patron.

He’s going in alphamabetical order, so Cthulhu will have to wait until Rogue and Sorcerer be done first. Unless he decides to y’know, not go in order. Heck, I wouldn’t put it past our eldritch lord to make it happen.

3.5 My ranger dad at level 3 had favored enemy dragon bone bow and killed a dragon in 3 turns with me finishing it off with magic missile

Hey I'm trying out it together, but from the paladin video last time to the intro/outro now, why is the tiefling Bard infatuated with your paladin? Inside joke at your table? Wanting to corrupt the goodie two shoes?

Not what I remebered but still great. Edit: From the one I saw I loved it because of the "You're basically the dad of the party" bit because it's very apt for the campaign I'm in now.

And Yathyra is like "dontturnarounddontturnarounddontturnaround"

0/10 advice Did not pick fighter w/bow or Rogue w/ hand crossbow

HOW TO PLAY RANGER: Switch to a hunter ranger with a *b o w* Congrats, now you're able to turn groups of enemies into a pin cushion!

I thought if I manage to defeat the enemy by bowing and maybe convincing them to go away/die then I am the BARD.

And this is why you don’t mess with rangers they say their underpowered but try saying that when you have hail of thorns falling on you then getting hit by ensnaring strike the turn after then let’s see who’s laughing

@@obsidianbeast6308 Ranger's spell are awesome, and so are its subclasses.

@@fm_0523 Yo bad that at level four, in this situation they would blow out their all their spells in one turn. And since you have those two, it means you don't have the other staples like hunters mark (meh), and all the other juicy ones.

@@obsidianbeast6308 I'm pretty sure most of the problems players have with base 5e ranger is simply that the animal companion might as well not exist and kind of made the ranger even more reliant on the stuff it borrowed from other classes. It took at least two expansion packs (Xanathar and Tasha) to finally turn the ranger into a class that can stand on its own. Its no wonder why ranger still has the reputation it does.

I’m getting Aragorn vs the Nazgul vibes

@Viktor Magnusson Eh, i like my badass fighter gals in fiction.

That's no Druid. That's "That sexy dryad you met in the forrest that one time" from the Druid video.

Hes the type of person to post a pic of his gains on Instagram then instead of getting a bunch of girls in his comments it's all a bunch of "keep up the grind fellow king". Not that that's a bad thing

Yes and yes

Lol same

Wait.. I'm not the only one???

Brothers of the Wiggler, we have found each other. Does thou also say "Awwww yeeeeyyyuuuhh"? Cuz I definitely do.

Wait... WAIT DOES THE TABLE SETUP CHANGE IN EACH EPISODE? TIME TO REWATCH EVERYTHING.

I DID IT, I REWATCHED EVERYTHING, AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE STUFF ON THE TABLE CHANGES IN EVERY SINGLE APPEARANCE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED TABLE

Joy Libbinson you should watch the monster hunter videos in the thumbnail the Longsword gets a little longer every video

@@SladePate Thank you very much, I'll go do that right now!

Ya know, Every show now a days has a romantic sub plot of sorts. Except this one is some what interesting. Rooting for ya bard!

So you use a longbow? Doesn't pretty much every ranger pick it? Why would you pick a ranged weapon that isn't a martial weapon?

I made a Hunter Ranger, Variant Human with Sharpshooter, picked up TWF, Equipped a Rapier with a Hand Crossbow, and I proceed to Annihilate 4 enemies on each of my turns thanks to the use of Horde Breaker. Weapon Bisexuality is the name of my game c:

That's... actually how I built my lizardfolk ranger Frisk

Some magical moonlight bow and two rather vanilla swords that aren’t anything too special except for the fact that they manifest from my tiara. That’s my loadout at least…

I dipped into one level of Fighter so I could pick up a second fighting style and have both Archery and Two Weapon Fighting.

Goblin doesn't such at all

I have no idea what games you playing but player goblin is really good. In fact monster goblin is extremely good. Having the disengage as a bonus means, come in attack and then run away. Nothing is worse than having four goblins camping the entrance to a dark cave using hide every turn. Shoot, hide move, shoot hide move. If you have no darkvision it is worse. Even with darkvision you have disadvantage, so -5 to that passive perception.

Nefer007 more like a heavy bowgun with wyvernheart rounds

ngl, I thought the Paladin was stomping on her face for trying to get close.

@@Introbulus If she was, the Bard would still be incredibly into that

@@bobmcguffin5706 Honestly I thought she was.

_YEAH ME TO_

The main problem with ranger is that most games absolutely skip the exploration pillar. In games where it's actually a significant part of gameplay, the ranger is an ideal companion. I was looking for a Middle Earth adaptation for 5e, and the Wanderer class from "Adventures in Middle Earth" is almost exactly the PHB Ranger. And the class features make travel a lot less tiresome. In a game where There And Back Again actually matters, arriving well at your destination after going through untamed wilderness is not something to be underestimated.

@@notthetrueNic that's a symptom of 5e's general design though. It just doesn't have the framework to support the ranger because its idea of "exploration pillar" is "tracking food and ammo" and its way to try and promote engagement with that is "stop tracking food and ammo" (which as you said, noone does anyway)

Mm. They made a class based on Aragorn but instead of Aragorns skills they bullshit the competency with magic. Aragorn was a fighter, not a Ranger.

It really be like that huh? Real talk tho ranger can get away with a lot of stupid shit if you're creative enough. But there's no denying that they fall off really hard at the later levels. UA was a nice revision but 5th-10th level is still pretty rough.

3 seconds*

Arcane Archer is everything ranger ever dreamed of and more. Too bad it's a fighter subclass LMAO

@@lupin2589 arcane archer is by far rated the worst fighter subclass. Being limited to only 2 special shots a day defintely isnt what the ranger wants to be

@@Starguardianbard Fighter can't get too many nice things, we can't have that NOoooo. Like, you know, more maneuvers I would LIKE to pick for my Battlemaster (WHY isn't Goading Attack just a thing a Fighter can do ALL the time? Just without the extra dmg?!). I'd rather get more dice to do maneuvers with than the maneuvers I didn't want a third level... And the Ranger is just a bizarre case of existing because it existed in other DnD editions and being carried by Drizzt the rest of the way. It's a weird mash-up of ill-defined concept.

What about a tabaxi monk with haste, and a speed feat?

@@L337f33t and boots of speed or whatever they're called

@@L337f33t Don't forget to multi class into rogue for bonus action dash, and barbarian for even more speed.

@@hamstsorkxxor Monk already has bonus action dash.

@@Limrasson Well, shit. Never had a monk in any of my games, so I actually didn't know that. Today I learned :)

The bard would definitely be a top.

@@Aulumos42 not during a crusade it isnt

I live for all the little visual Easter Eggs in these videos

Xanathar's did wonders for improving a lot of underwhelming character builds. I can't recommend it enough.

Too bad it'll never be rad

I would still say change the 20th ability to something better And for the non magical creatures thing I would say in ADDITION to a favored enemy But yeah this oretty much would fix Ranger

That sounds like cheating to me fam.

@@ThePersuasiveParrot Homebrew isn't cheating. DnD isn't perfectly balanced, WotC admits this.

@@CommonApathy WoTC actually enjoys players creating homebrew and actively encourages it as well, basically saying yes we try our best to create a great vanilla game, and it's not always perfect, so you guys go out there and create the perfect game for you

@@CommonApathy I'd say this is less homebrewing and more along the lines of houseruling, which if you play DnD, you've probably done before. My friend has to house rule Polymorph because he didn't want my Warlock to turn every single even mildly threatening monster into a sea snail with Polymorph before tossing it into the nearest magic circle that leads to god knows where.

@@TitoRigatoni exactly, who was known for using a sword

I'm not very experienced at this (like literally one night), but the DM made the whole experience for me. One DM had us actually track stuff and go through terrain, and playing Ranger like that was fun. The other basically said he just does battles and rushed us to where the enemy saying we just "get there." Fighter with a bow would have been way better.

Right? It was such a good detail and the ending only made it better!

Mate there is no relationship Sasha is just trying to have some peace and quiet

Sasha needs a restraining order

"Failing?" By being stepped on, the Bard has succeeded in getting closer. XD

Don't forget that Rogmesh and Sasha were picked up in the club by Felcia in the bard episode

Rogmesh is wAifu goals
