I agree with those, but I don't find them lackluster at all, actually kinda OP
hint; ranger can do all the rogue can, but he has 1 more skill prof and much better incombat
the rogue is right now, without a shadow of a doubt, the highest DPR marhsall class. Why?
Lets compare Ranger4 to rogue 4. Considering maximized builds obviously. So DEX18 for the ranger with archery style. DEX18 for the rogue, he picks up Abilitymod on offhand and goes Thief for second bonus action.
Hit-modifier:
Rogue comes in at Prof+2, DEX+4 for +6 over all
Ranger comes in at Prof+2, DEX+4, archery +2 for +8 over all.
Avarage damage on hit:
Rogue sneak: d6 + 2d6 + 4 = 14,5 avarage
Rogue nonsneak: d6+4 = 7,5 avarage
Ranger bow: d8+4 = 8,5 avarage
Considering buffs: Not talking buffs from third characters, because both could get them. The ranger however can go for hunters mark for an additional D6 on hit, bringing his damage to an avarage of 12.
Number of attacks:
The rogue has 3 attacks (sneak and 2 bonus action offhands), the ranger has 1 attack with his bow.
Calculating avarage damage against AC19.
*Expecting both characters to have advantage, because in melee the rogue can just always walk around the enemy in his turn for backstab. The ranger can just move up a cliff. arguably the rogue has a little easier access to advantage but lets face it: You do always have advantage in BG3 or you screwed up.
Rogue against AC 19:
Roll required: 13. Chance including advantage: 64%.
Avarage damage: (14,5 x 64%) + 2(8,5 x 64%)= ~20 damage a turn
Ranger against AC 19 including hunters mark:
Roll required: 11. Chance including advantage: 75%.
Avarage damage: 12 x 75% = ~9 damage a turn.
The lower the enemy AC the higher the advantage for the rogue obviously, since the difference of 2 in hit rolls comes to bare the less, the closer you are to a hitroll of 2 required, as its squared due to advantage.
