Apologies if a question like this has been posted before, but I am looking for some advice on how to build using the Assassin subclass. Also, I have never posted here before or really any online forum, so sorry if I do not format something correctly.
I have played through POE2 a couple of times on POTD, and I am just starting another one. I am trying to decide between Single Class Assassin, Spellblade (no subclass) Assassin, and Bleak Walker Assassin. In classic fashion I have started a play-through with all three and have completed Maje Island, but I am not sure which one to proceed with for the rest of the game.
From what I understand, single class is usually built around gambit which seems really cool, but doesn't come until much later. I also have concerns about guile management early game, and what to do when I run out of smoke bombs.
Spellblade seems to focus more on casting from invisibility, which seems powerful, but I feel like I might miss out on RP of an assassin backstabbing people with a weapon.
Finally, Bleak Walker Assassin early game has been super powerful, but does't seem to have much variety beyond FOD from stealth. I also am not really sure what the damage ceiling is for this particular combination.
I am planning on playing with a full party, as I am not super interested in soloing. I would apreciate any advice from those who have played any of these. Mostly I am looking for 3 things 1. How powerful does it get in both regular fights and against bosses (not mega bosses) 2. How fun is it to play in terms of variety, strategy, etc. 3. How well does it play in a full party
Thanks!
