Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Build Discussion Balance Changes Needed for Two Weapon Fighting and Berserker

Two weapon fighting, and Berserker Barbarians really need some love.

Moreover, bonus actions are very valuable in Baldurs gate 3 and it almost feels like classes/builds that rely on bonus actions for damage are somewhat punished for it.
With that being said I would like to suggest some changes:

- Two Weapon Fighting should remove the bonus action cost for attacking with both weapons
- Reasoning: Playing with a 2handed weapon or using one weapon with a shield is generally always a better alternative. The only real potential benefit from dual wielding currently is making use of poison coatings

- Berserker Barbarian should make Rage a free action and make Frenzied Attack a free action at higher levels
- Reasoning: There's 0 reason to play Berserker at the moment. Wildheart has much better utility and
Fighter is better than Berserker flat out
