dual wielder got level 5 for attack and level 3 thief for bonus action and fighter 1 for fighting style that give you more dmg from offhand
dual wielder is not an auto pick. I played a Gloom Stalker Ranger in my second play through and took dual wielder at level 4 and it is great with my D8 weapons, screaming rapier and Phalar Aluve. But level 4 is where the D8 greatness starts and finishes. Because there are only 2 Finesse longswords in the game the other being Larethian's Wrath from the Githyanki Creche. Well there is always Rapiers, Rupturing Blade +1 (act 1) Harmonic Dueller +1 but the special damage works off your Charisma Modifier and it is an act 3 weapon. There is also a +2 rapier that appears on a merchant when you reach a certain level can't remember what level. But thats it more rapiers that can be dual wielded the legendary rapier's bonus come from having no wea

If your dual wielder is strength based then Dual Wielder is fracking great. There are a bunch of great weapons that you can dual wield. Grab the gnoll flail that heals you and combine with Lathander's mace, or the Defender flail for more AC, or the spear that gives you true Sight if you miss or ..... I admit for finesse based it only adds rapier and the two long swords but it really shines for strength based dual wielding.

Both sharpshooter and GWM are really great. Just do the math to determine where the breakover point is. I usually find that if I'm at 40% with the damage turned on its better than 65% without.
