Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Build Discussion Why are Ranger's rated so poorly?

I admit I didn't progress far into the game yet (first serious playthrough, Party members are currently Level 5), but I am enjoying my BM .

Maybe there are builds that dish out more damage than BM, but I am not the person to go for Min Max. I also don't plan to respec my companions.


I chose Ranger as main character because I wanted a character which scales with dexterity so he can pick locks / disarm traps, since during my first steps in the game I learned that I don't like Astarion that much so I didn't want him as a party member.


So in the end, for me there were the options to go for Ranger, Bard or Rogue. And I chose Ranger.
