Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Dual Wielding and Bonus Actions

Basically dual wielding is never worth it for anyone.

You need Two-Weapon Fighting style on a Fighter or Ranger to get your ability modifier to off-hand damage.

Then you need the Dual Wielding feat to be able to use weapons that aren't light and for +1AC.

But the main thing is that the Bonus Action off-hand attack competes with so many other things in BG3 you often won't even use it, i.e. every time there is a Shove opportunity or you need a potion.
