[QUOTE="robmox, post: 8401809, member: 6788095"] I was reading this month old post, just because I wanted to look at the math for Elven Accuracy. I agree that it’s not worth it unless you have on demand advantage, which is pretty easy to get for a lot of builds, and crucial for anything with a power attack (in the case of EA it’s only Sharpshooter, or GWM for Warlocks). But, warlocks can get Darkness, and later Shadow of Moil. Rangers get Guardian of Nature at higher level. A Bladesinger could get Blind Fighting from a 1 level dip in Fighter or Pally, and combine it with Darkness like a Warlock. And, a bard can use any of the above options, though Shadow of Moil is probably the strongest. When you’re already doing -5/+10, EA is the biggest increase to DPR you can get. Think about it like this, +2 to your attack stat adds 1.1 damage to each attack. GWM/Sharpshooter adds ~5 damage to each attack. A character that already has GWM/Sharpshooter adds a little more than 2 damage to each attack depending on enemy AC. So it’s better than +2 to your attack stat, worse than GWM/Sharpshooter, and few other feats are better than these 3 options (PAM and XBE being the notable ones, but depends on your build and your bonus action usage).
