What's the best melee dual wield "assassin feeling" build?
Like the title says, it doesn't necessarily have to be the Assassin class, but needs to have some of that vibe (made my DnD rogue in Bg3, so for RP reasons). The melee dual wield is a must.
I would like things like huge damage numbers (maybe not completely broken things which make the game stop being fun), frequent crits, high number of actions per turn. Basically the build should excel in dps.
I was looking into the melee version of Gloomstalker Assassin. Not sure how great that is now, especially the melee version.
Another suggestion I got was to go for Shadow Blade with 11 Arcane Trickster + 1 War Cleric / Hexblade. I'm not interested in being a caster but if the shadow blade is as OP as I hear, then I'd love to use it for a regular rogue play style.
Please suggest what's the current consensus on this archetype of build. I love melee rogues but they don't seem to come up in the conversation when great DPS builds are talked about. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
Thanks.
