Hopefully, we at Dice Cove have provided valuable insight for you into the Crossbow Expert feat. Some Rangers may like to use a heavy crossbow for the larger damage die and forgo the bonus attack using a hand crossbow would provide. This presents an opportunity cost in using the bonus action attack or casting a spell as it locks you out of doing whichever you didn’t choose for that turn. They can certainly benefit from the feat, but they have a higher reliance on bonus actions for their spells, like Hunter’s Mark, Hail of Thorns, and Ensnaring Strike, and some subclass features. You may have been expecting to see reference to the Ranger in the ‘most useful for’ section, as Rangers have access to Archery as a style and are classic ranged weapon users. Gunner provides the same no-disadvantage benefit whilst also allowing you to increase your Dex by one point, making it a more economical choice for a spell caster. A better option would be for a caster considering Crossbow Expert for this reason, to instead choose the Gunner feat. That said, ASIs are expensive and they would only be using a single point of the feat. Spellcasters – A spellcaster who uses a lot of ranged attack based spells might consider this feat to ensure their accuracy, in case they get rushed by a monster.Barbarians and Paladins – Whilst these classes have extra attack, neither have any incentive to use ranged attacks regularly if at all.Rogues – Well, maybe! As long as you don’t want to use Cunning Action a lot, then the additional attack can add a lot of damage to a Rogue–especially the additional opportunity to apply Sneak Attack each turn.Most subclasses won’t have a frequent use of your bonus action besides Second Wind, so there’s no real clash with the additional attack the feat gives. Fighters – The additional ASIs a Fighter gets make picking up a feat relatively cheap, and Fighters have access to the Archery Fighting Style to get the most out of using a crossbow.Let’s take a look at what classes are best and worst for this feat: Crossbow Expert 5E is most useful for So if you’re looking to play a crossbow user, this feat probably seems like a no-brainer, right? Well, now, hold your crossbow. That attack can be a nice damage bump on its own, but is often combined with Sharpshooter to gain another chance to leverage the +10 damage the latter provides. This is what many think of when it comes to this feat it’s commonly used to gain an additional attack when you’re using a hand crossbow as your primary weapon. ![]()
