Gloom 5 / Thief 4 / Battlemaster 3 leveraging hand xbows is very strong.
Completely agree - I was responding to someone who expressed surprised at anyone playing Ranger at all. The Gloomstalker build is certainly overshadowed by the swords bard build, but it's still a very strong build and perfectly viable in tactician - as you know, it just isn't that tough. And while swords bard is stronger, it too is overshadowed by Sorlock EB rider-stacking builds which are in turn completely ec;lipsed by simple tavern brawler zerker throw builds.
All I was saying is that it's not completely unreasonable for someone to play Ranger and while it's certainly not the best it's still a very strong build and perfectly capable of destroying tactician.
