Rogue subclass for my Gloomstalker?
So I’m currently playing a Gloomstalker 5/ Rogue 2 and I can feel a level up on the horizon. I’m a bit puzzled on what to do next. My current go-to strategy in combat revolves around longbow attacks with the Sharpshooter feat. At the moment I’m aiming to go at least 2 more levels in rogue to get my 2nd asi. That said I have no idea what to do about a rogue subclass if I get to rogue lv3. I’d be happy to hear out any suggestions.
My ideas so far:
Soul Knife (no): I originally had settled on this one while making the character at the start of the campaign… sadly the sharpshooter +10 damage only works for ranged WEAPONS, not just any ranged attack. So the psychic blades from this subclass are basically entirely useless. I had not realized this until I got 2 levels into rogue much later in the campaign.
Phantom rogue:
This one caught my attention cuz it’s a fairly generic, flexible damage boost and none of the later features contradict my current build. That said, the necrotic damage it offers seems so minor, especially since I can’t focus fire with it and I’m not very far into rogue yet so my sneak attack is a bit lacking.
Arcane trickster:
This one is really nice since it allows me to grab a shield spell and Silvery barbs. I doubt we will get past level 10 in this campaign but if we happen to get to a high level I might have to stop leveling trickster at rogue 8, since my intelligence score is so bad lmao. I know int isn’t necessary for this subclass but it might be nice later down the line.
