Better pairing with Black Jacket gun build - Bleak Walker or Assassin?

[basilkingcalcifer]

Just about to start my first play-through and can't decide between pairing my Black Jacket with Bleak Walker or Assassin, both seem to have full attacks with the Assassin having more.  I get the feeling that the Black Jacket/Assassin would be more of a strict damage dealer and the Black Jacket/Bleakwalker being able to DPS and provide more utility to the group.

 

Anyone have experience with these builds, and could recommend what to do/avoid?

Bleakwanker has the advantage of the perception resistance perk to go alongside blunderbuss modal. Also paladin+fighter is nigh unkillable.

You can only use as many full attacks as your resource pool allows, so you can FoD just as much as you can hobbling shot.

 

On the flip side, I'm pretty sure you can do some bonkers sneak attack 1 shotting with the assassin.

 

Assassin will do more damage and Bleakwanker will do more not dieing I think.

Any idea on what to do for stats? Am I able to focus less on Dex cause the class relies on weapon switching over recovery speed?

Seems to me from looking at the skill trees that the Black Jacket / Assassin may feel like it has more damage options.

 

Am I wrong at seeing for the Black Jacket / Bleakwalker I'd really only be using penetrating strike and flames of devotion?
