Other than powerful mages, what fighter classes pose the biggest threat to drizzt and artemis?

I guess you could say the finesse fighters of 5th ed are
bards with spells of attacks and healing and fighting prowess
Fighters with high dex and power from feats
Rangers with high dex and animal companions and light stealth
Rogues with sneak attack and stealth
Monks which are obvious
Strength fighters would be
fighters, barbarians, paladins, clerics (with high strength and buffing)
After reading the books mages cause major problems for artemis and drizzt but what about the classes listed based on their stats in dnd?

Blunt because Drizzt wears a Chain Mail, weak against crushing damage.
Yeah i dont doubt that some of the ranged attacks are very powerful and with poison overpowering. I was referring to which melee class can tank them not which guy can kite them. Not many people can melee drizzt in bg1 and sneak attack/backstab doesnt count. Im talking a tank that can tank the tank
Edit: What I mean with that I don't understand the OP, is the referal to 5th edition rules and "finesse fighters", something which doesn't exist until at least 3E and thus is not present in Baldur's Gate. Is this a more general question not related directly to BG?
I'm uploading a video as I write this.
It takes slightly less than a minute and my character doesn't drop below 50% HP.
Not mine but i feel this belongs here, im sure 3 of them wouldn't be a problem he simply ran out of Drizzts to kill.
Dwarven defender and Blackguard i am not surprised. What i am surprised was fighter/illusionist. I got to try that build one time. When you give a fighter magic that can make him hard to hit and able to evade juggernauts and damage dealers then you got a powerful build. The illusionist unfortunately has the best evasive spells. If there were other mage kits that are good for making an evasive/magic fighter that would be cool. Thing is i only used necromancer and that is more of a fight summon attack spell.
I am guessing you would fighter first then dual to mage kit at lvl2-3?
Take a dwarven defender. Give him an enchanted hammer and shield. Get him to lvl 8, give him Balduran's helm and cloak. Have him chug several blessed mugs of ale, mead, and beer (i.e.: potions of strength, speed and heroism). Drop defensive stance. Break a kneecap or two. Laugh as the elf writhes on the floor, wondering why his dwarven made chain didn't protect him. Easy! Because while a dwarf can make the best armor in the world, a dwarf can also break it.
Yes, a dwarven defender can solo drizzt. A dwarven defender can solo Sarevok. The only things that a dwarven defender struggles with are cowardly curs who use magic. But then again, when you are a bearded Demi-God, the only way to beat you is to hide behind magic.
