What do you use for weapons on Astarion?

[BT]

For a rogue, do you usually dual wield with a dagger off hand?

Is the correct way to know what’s the optimal equipment to check the character sheet?

Dual wield daggers.

if you are going dex and still in act 1 there is a REALLY good sword you can pick up from the start of the underground area (forgot the name sorry xD)
but i used mine mainly for ranged dmg, went with assassin to lvl 5 and rest into gloomstalker ranger with dual hand crossbows and hes pumping out some good dmg.
in act 3 you can get the bes melee weapon for dex users, a rapier that can use a bonus action to hit again if you want to go the other subclass that gives you another bonus action.
idk if it was just me but playing rogue as melee was a bit hard because i did not find good ways to raise AC enough so he ended up dying alot so thats why i swapped to range

Short swords. There is a short sword that does and extra d8 on first strike.

Is there a bonus for daggers vs for example a short sword+dagger off hand?

Dual Hand Xbows + dual Daggers

Bow and rapier. I have him as assassin in one playthrough and the range option is generally my most used because of that. He's also my main thrower of various things.

My other playthrough I'm just starting, I'll go dual wielding thief and see how that goes.

Dual wield Hand Crossbows with Sharpshooter is the only correct answer

I kind of regret not going Arcane Trickster on him, not optimal but it kind of suits him and his default.

Longbow he's a beast with sharpshooter perk

There is an awesome off-hand dagger in Act 1 in the Goblin Camp, for dual wielding. You can steal it from the wanna be sado-masochistic / cenobite. Pair it with whatever takes your fancy in your main hand. It does good damage and gives you some very nice combat adjustment, if you go the assassin route.

. . or re-spec as a full ranger / gloomstalker until you get the extra attack at level 5 before you multi-class to something else and just fire from a distance. Either is good.
