Looks like you're assuming no magic weapons at level 11? Or is it +1 weapon and +4 dex mod? That would be pretty reasonable, actually Their 11th level ability gives them an additional attack when they miss once per turn.ġd6x3 + 5x3 per round or 24 average damage, 54 with SS applied. Sharpen the blade doesn't affect your unarmed strikes, which is what your flurry of blows is.Ī gloomstalker at 11th level will only get 3 attacks on any given round of combat, yes their 3rd level ability is useful, but it only happens once during combat Your martial arts die goes up to d8 at 11th level. Even with a follow up round you're still only hitting another 33 damage with hunter's mark up and the kensei would have done 80 damage over two rounds to your 70. So on turn one i'm going to assume you bonus action hunter's mark, action attack x3 or 1d6圆 + 5x3 + 1d8 or 37 average damage, 67 with SS applied.

Fortunately the build does have a free Invocation choice while still selecting Agonizing Blast and Eldritch Smite.ĪSIs are indeed tight on this (though at Level 11 the build does have as many ASIs as any non Fighter/Variant Human/Custom Lineage, before it starts to fall behind rapidly).
