In another of D&D Beyond's frequent data shares, here is a look at the most popular fighter subclasses currently in use. The Champion leads the pack, followed by Battlemaster, Eldritch Knight, Gunslinger, and Samurai.
It's on DDB, so that may be the reason.Where is Gunslinger even located? I'll be honest I didn't know that existed anywhere but Pathfinder. I can't find it in any of my books, But I don't have Eberron. It doesn't appear to be in there either from what i can tell about the Eberron book. Was it just created for D&D Beyond? I have full access to it but I can't figure out what source it is from.

Apparently 6% of players don't know that the Arcane Archer is a bag of Tarrasque droppings. I suspect they are playing it for concept and feel reasons, and not optimization. Sometimes it's hard to remember that not everyone white room's the ever-living crap out of the game.![]()
I really like the idea of an arcane archer. Just not the reality. I think you'd need to homebrew to get something that matches the concept that I (and I suspect you) are thinking about. I'd probably base it on Eldritch Knight and add something like the Paladin's smite to allow the archer to burn spell slots to gussy up his ranged attacks.
Yeah, I agree. Anytime you can put COOL and not game breaking together in the same sentence you're probably on to something.I'd give them some solid at-will options with fun, but minor, effect and then a handful of limited use effects, mostly stealing arrow spells from the Ranger.
There's no reason a level 3 Arcane Archer can't just make all their arrows inflict fire damage. Not even adding any damage to them, just BOOM! Now its a magical attack instead of a plain one. Nothing fancy, just some elemental damage. Fire Arrow, Lightning Arrow, Frost Arrow, Light Arrow... they're not game breaking but they would sound COOL and be evocative.
