[Shadow Warrior] Is melee only ( mostly ) viable?

[Abrax]

Never really played Shadow Warrior before - can you play is a primarily melee character? Is there a build for it - or is it completely overshadowed by White Lions?

Solo no. In group its something like armored WH with a lot armor and parry, that can do low dmg pew pew. Your main source of dmg is brutall assault with tactic that ignore armor, that you can spam with wispering winds. So you need sm in party. I really dont recomend making sw if u dont understand game mechanics, cos order have a ton of shitty ones. Not to mention last unreasonable nerf of it from devs, when mains for years screamed for help.

Can play something like that as a version of melee:

With Whispering Wind from sm Festering Arrow becomes a 1 sec no cd attack in melee range, which is going to hurt.
