While you can do this solo, it's much more reliable to have an ally within 5 feet of an enemy. In other words, the other melee fighter(s) are the ones enabling most of the rogue's damage.A rogue works well multiclassing with lots of other classes and benefits greatly from any class or feat or ability that grants another attack because one opportunity a round to sneak attack just isn't enough. You can two weapon fight without a feat or fighting style almost as well as you can if you do take the feat or style as most of your damage is sneak attack. You'll have 2 opportunities to get a sneak attack at the expense of no Cunning Action on your bonus action. You can take Crossbow Expert and burn your bonus action shooting a hand crossbow. You can take Sentinel and stay in melee and use your reaction to get a chance at two sneak attacks a round - one on your turn and one on another turn with your Sentinel ability. You can multiclass into any of the melee classes for two attacks and a fighting style (but not with Valor Bard).However, the Rogue, at least a straight Rogue, has some fantastic damage avoidance abilities and you could, in theory, have the three major resistances by level 15 if you took Resilience feat in Constitution. A character who avoids damage left and right is pretty valuable.  Rogues are also capable of being great at skills. There are a number of ways to get lots of skills combined with the ability to have a roll no lower than a 10 in all of your proficient skills is fantastic. It's super easy to have 10 or more skills with barely a dent in your damage output.</blockquote>
