So that's a draw.Once you gain extra attack, the feat becomes better. But, crucially, it always eats your bonus action, so it never becomes a free lunch - you can't stack it with other build strategies that also use the bonus action.Is this perhaps still too attractive? Advantage on short range is awfully good.</blockquote>
