When a Rogue has Expertise in a skill, their normal Proficiency bonus is doubled for that skill. So, as long as a Rogue is proficient in Stealth, that Proficiency bonus increases when they choose to gain Expertise in Stealth as well.

"Dread Ambusher: Hide" simply allows them to hide as a bonus action. "Umbral Shroud" allows them to become invisible as an action as long as they are obscured. "Superior Darkvision" allows the Gloom Stalker to see up to 24m in darkness without issue. They also automatically learn "Disguise Self" as a first level spell.

During Act 3,you can access some powerful armor and weapons that benefit the Battle Master. The Helldusk Armour , acquired from the House of Hope by defeating Raphael, is a great heavy armor option that allows the wearer to fly and reduces incoming damage by 3. It also provides resistance to fire and burns enemies when you succeed a saving throw against their spells. The Helldusk Boots from the top floor of Wyrm's Rock Fortress complement the Armour, allowing the wearer to automatically succeed a saving throw by spending their reaction. They also allow the wearer to teleport, causing a blast of fire wherever they reappear, making them useful for dealing with foes at range. Add in the Helldusk Helmet (found in the House of Hope) to gain immunity to critical hits and a +2 bonus to saving throws against spells. The Immolating Gaze Action the helmet grants will allow you to frighten foes and deal fire damage if they're burning. Before you can get your hands on the Helldusk Armor, consider using the Reaper's Embrace Armor you can loot from Ketheric at the end of Act 2.

No matter what, be sure to get the Stealth, Persuasion, Perception, and Deception proficiency. These checks naturally fall into Rogue playstyles, especially Stealth. If your Background covers any of these options, think about picking up Insight or Investigation, which can be useful for lots of dialogue checks.

In terms of Multiclassing, the Arcane Archer plays very well with some Rogue levels for Sneak Attack and Cunning Actions, with the Thief subclass providing an extra bonus action, which is very helpful, while the Assassin subclass offers incredible burst damage at the start of a fight if you get the drop on them. A few levels in Ranger, especially Hunter for the Hunter's Prey bonuses (Horde Breaker is particularly helpful), can also be quite effective.
