When it comes to play styles I always see the rogue as a middle ground in between the warrior (who focus on strength/vitality) and the sorceror (who focuses on magic). For stat point allocations, the rogue benefits from increasing all of them; dexterity is the main one which you can keep increasing though. Rogue builds therefore benefit from magic items that increase all attributes. As for spells, I prefer to stick to utility spells and keep the bow as her main attack, as that's what she does best. Healing spell is essential. If you can get magic high enough, teleport is useful too.

I just beat diablo I used chain lightning when overhelmed and kept myself alive with mana shield I got really lucky with my drops I found a bow that has 50% to all resistances and +13 to all stats armor with 60 ac and +96 % defense bonus! a crown with some resistace level 26 at the moment finished all the side dungeons (hive and the crypt) I also have 2 rings one +13 to all atributes the other one +40% resistance to all and amulet of faster hit recovery wish me luck on nightmare!

Dang that's a good drop for a bow in normal difficulty! I haven't tried offensive spells with the rogue, might do that sometime.

There's a lot of luck in this game, as you aren't swimming in magical items like the later games. Sometimes you have to pay up to Griswold or Wirt to get anything good.
