knife master / vivisectionist Build help

[Robotect]

Theory crafting a build and would love some advice from some veterans. Im thinking of rolling knife master / vivisectionist with a majority of those levels in rogue, as i feel like they compliment eachother well but dont want to waste 30+ hours to then just be disapointed.

Any advice or is it a bad idea all together? Am i missing anything good out of just pure rogue or vivi?

Any help would be hella appreciated thank you.

Necro bump because I'm interested too

3 knife master / 16 Vivisectionist using 2 daggers or 2 kukri would probably be the safest route.

2 Kukri yes. I did it exactly opposite though. Worked fine. I felt like a proper assassin and sushi chef!

I used a Half-Elf Knife Master 4/Vivisectionist 16 in my last run. Knife Master 3/Vivisectionist 17 can work but you don't really gain much out of the extra Vivisectionist level, whereas the extra Knife Master level does net you Bewildering and Debilitating injury which are very useful during midgame.

The build does however struggle to do any meaningful damage against enemies with high DR and/or sneak attack immunity. So make sure you pick the right party members to cover those.
