D&D 5E Ranger Rating Thread

[Sacrosanct]

Now with Tasha's being official, how would you rank the ranger subclasses? Probably one of the most maligned and picked on classes in 5e to date, there have been several updates to it, which most likely will change how we view them.

Rules:
No Unearthed Arcana content. Official material only, including the changes in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything.
Rank them however you want. Whether that be for optimization purposes, flavor, whatever.

In no particular order:
Fey Wanderer
Hunter
Beast Master
Gloom Stalker
Swarmkeeper
Horizon Walker
Monster Slayer

For me, I'd rank them in this order (weighting personal flavor tastes equally with mechanical effectiveness)

1. Gloom Stalker
2. Swarmkeeper
3. Beast master
4. Hunter
5. Monster Slayer
6. Fey Wanderer
7. Horizon walker

Gloom stalker checks off all boxes. Love it flavor wise, and also very potent mechancially.
The fey wanderer and horizon walker have zero appeal to me flavor wise, so I put them at the bottom.

I want to play a Beast Master Ranger now.

Tashas has fixed that for me so much with the Beasts of the Earth.

To bad the class still needs a overhaul

I just think the beastmaster is bad.

Hunters perfectly fine.

Don't see a lot played and they make a good Archer, melee maybe not the best.

 

[Flamestrike]

Beast Master is fine now thanks to Tashas.

Beast Master is fine now thanks to Tashas.

Tasha's delayed here.
