Need Help for a Assassin SMG/SNIPER or SNIPER/KNIFE build

[JFK86]

Hey guys, i check out the Forum but didnt find anything like the build i would like to try. The main problem is, im a noob right now XD
Can you help me with this please?

My Idea would be a Stealth, Sniper with Secondary SMG or even better Knife, like a Allround assassin.
should include lockpick, hack and some crafting (ive read about some selfmade cloak devices) stuff without Psy mechanics of course.
which talents should i pick? which items grad?

I would be extremly thankfull for any help. Cheers o/

that kinda build was my 2nd and 3rd playthrough build.
i used Sniper, SMG, and a Knife, just like you said. and no Psi Empathy.
but i only used the Sniper when i had to, e.g. starting a combat with one of the enemies is a Psi user that i need to take down early with the "Snipe" feat. i used Dragunov before i can craft a badass Spearhead Sniper, both can shoot twice per round.
luckily i still have the saved data. here's my level 1 stats, kind of, i forgot bcos currently it's level 30 now :

didn't pick stealth coz it's pretty useless early on. and i didn't focus on using a Sniper until i get Dragunov, only SMGs and Knives.
picked persuasion to meet up my target of 65 points to help me on certain persuasion check.
here's the current stats :

high stealth to get high extra damage from "Snipe" and make it easier to "Cut-Throat".
never picked Tailoring bcoz i never craft armor and i have Phantom Dancer anyway, i picked Electronics instead to make a great Emitter to mitigate damage.
i know there might be some flaws or some wasted points, e.g. i never picked Throwing and Traps, if you think you'd often throw grenades, you'd be mashing F9 lol. but you get the picture.

anytime bruh.
you don't use gloves obviously. if you meant boots, then aim for Ninja Tabi Boots, other material Tabi doesn't help much with stealthy characters, you have to rely on stealth because you have low health, at least until you get good shield.
for the head gear, i only used 2 gears, either Kevlar Balaclava (200% DR/DT) or Seeker NVG (crafted a CRIT +15% for ranged).
for armors, generally goes the same with boots until you get good Emitter Shield and the end-game Phantom Dancer.
now for the Emitter shield, try to build a Low Frequency Shield combined with High Frequency Modulator as the extra mod. don't bother with the Medium Modulators. but keep in mind that Shield's weakness is melee enemies. so if you need to choose between Dodge and Evasion, choose Dodge first. and if you plan on using a knife, my favorite is Kukri, no extra effect at all but high crit chance. but if you prefer to make enemies bleeding, Sormir Skaerder Knife was my best knife. 5 bleeding wounds + Eviscerate = >1000 damage. dont bother picking "Taste for Blood".
