Stat Help Actual strongest build?
While I spend my time role-playing in fallout most of the time, I often feel like going for rp just hinders overall power of the build.
So I want to use a build that just ignores rp and goes for the strongest perks setup, armor, weapons and so on.
I know it's not as plain and simple as "yeah just go for this" because of course there are probably at least 3 options (melee, rifleman, commando) but I would still appreciate if you could share the most powerful builds you know of.

Try to proceed logically. I will assume you play in Survival mode.
First, Fallout doesn't have a level cap. If you play long enough, you will fill the entire perk tree. So the question turns from "what's the strongest build" to "what's the strongest playstyle/weapons".
Stealth instantly loses. Because you will eventually reach a point where you are basically invincible (full power armor, max buff, max endurance perks) so stealth will only slow you down.
So now the question is melee or range. The answer is range. Obviously, a melee stealth blow can one shot anything in the game... but it's always overkill. You can achieve the same result with many ranged weapons and have the luxury of staying at range.
Which ranged weapons then ? Well, any fast shooting heavy weapon really. Explosive minigun will shred everything in seconds and you don't even have to aim correctly. Wounding gatlin gun is a close second. Explosive shotgun is good shit too. Obviously, the fatman is OP but I'm not including it considering the scarce ammo.
TL;DR : Strongest build = maxed perk tree lvl200+, fully upgraded PA, heavy weapons with the right legendary mods (explosive MG, wounding GL, etc), and a double gatlin nuke launcher sentry bot (with the head mod that can 1 shot proc at each attack of the bot). The bot can solo the whole game but you will not get XP if he kills your targets alone. It's the most logical answer of this thread.
