Could you convince me to stay Hunter Ranger after level 5?
5.5e
Basically the tittle. I like the Ranger fantasy but I feel that after level 5 you get only ribbon features compared to a Druid multiclass.
I am playing an archer Hunter at level 9, but I feel I am doing the same from level 5. The defensive features of level 7 are both insuficient in my opinion. I tried both but they rarely were used. I thought that at level 9 I could have something more with Conjure Animals, but in that case it is better to go Druid after Ranger 5, wait one more level and have the spell with 4th level slots. Also, thanks to the additional slots, I could use Hail of Thorns more, which also enhance my archery.
I am also looking at the level 11 feature of the Hunter and It is... insulting.
So that is it. My DM offered me to change some levels to Druid and I think it is a no-brainer.
Am I missing something? Is there a good reason to justify staying Ranger?
