I appreciate that he took the time to detail one extremely optimized build. Still doesn’t mean that the two feats are broken. Matter of fact, he spent more time talking about how precision attack is broken. Looks like I’ll be removing precision attack from my games.
More seriously, Frogreaver, thanks for explaining your position.
Precision isn't broken. What is pretty good is using it to "remove" the to-hit penalty of feats like sharpshooter or GWM. It may not be as good as it look however as there is an opportunity cost (the dice could have been used to do something else). So the feat is worth about +3 to damage based on my calculations (ie it's not quite broken)
What I find more concerning is how this plus Crossbow Mastery allows the PC to fight at range *and* in melee range equally well. So this is min-maxing without the min. It's just maxing.
