Be sure to *start* as a rogue for the expertise in two skills [stealth, sleight of hand for me]. You'll miss out on medium armor and some weapon proficiemcies, but you'll have high dex anyway - And I'm an elf for the proficiencies.

Problem with this currently is that if you take Ranger after level 1 you do not get martial weapons proficiency the way you should and the way you do if you take a level of Barb/Fighter/Paladin after level 1. Not a huge deal normally but for me, the best ranged weapon I have seen as of level 8/Act 2 is a heavy crossbow. I'm sure this is an easy fix but I am not sure if Larian is even aware of it. The game badly needs a bug report feature.
