What stats does a Shadestepper need?

Hello,

I have been trying to learn Shadestepper, but I am struggling with what stats to prioritize in my builds. So far I am guessing mana steal and life steal might work better than mana regen and health regen, since invisibility makes those less effective?

Why do people build melee builds? Does melee damage increase the backstab damage too, or not? Please let me know, I want to learn Assassin, but I am lost :’ )

 

there are hybrid builds for shadestepper too

but good for melee cause it has access to vanish, suprise strike and shadow travel

the other archetypes dont really have anything that works well for melee
