You'd actually be best off dualling the character from a Kensai as described above.

Soloing as a thief isnt too bad because of your hide in shadows ability and backstab, this makes it possible to pick and choose your fights. Could be trickier on the tougher enemies, but thats what traps are for [img]smile.gif[/img]

As for the choice between assassin/swashbucklers...

Assassins are THE best at backstabbing because they can multiply the basic damage by *7, rather than the standard thief *5. Swashbucklers cannot backstab at all

To backstab, hide in shadows and walk up BEHIND a enemy. Then attack as normal. 'Tis that simple.

Note: Only your first strike gets the damage and hit bonus's of a backstab.
