I'm currently playing a Human Gloomstalker. Str -1(8), Dex 4(18), Con 2(14), Int 0(10), Wis 2(14) Chr 0(10). AC: 16 (Studded Leather). To hit +10 (Archery Fighting Style and +1 Crossbow)
Current Feats: Piercer, Crossbow expert.
I'm just hitting level 8 and I don't know if I should max Dex or take a feat. If I took a feat I'm thinking at Sharpshooter or Lucky. I'm wanting a bit more survivability so either options gives me some. Anyone got any ideas what's best? Or you they have any other ideas?
I would suggest Sharpshooter if you have a lot of combat in dark areas (meaning you have advantage to your attacks thanks to Umbral Sight) or if you can regularly gain advantage from other means. Otherwise maxing DEX would be a better choice as it adds to your to hit, damage and AC.
While Lucky is a top tier feat, I would not personally grab it until after maxing DEX and getting Sharpshooter first.

Thank you for the advise.
