>How can we make melee dual wielding great again? By playing a different game.

Enough with the fucking animes.

How do you know Wubu's rationale for sure, sour grape kitsune user?

Dual Wielding is pretty good if you get the dex to damage feat, and just use one of the path of war stances that gives you 1d6 damage.
You could even go strength based by taking up the Dervish Defender Warder archetype. That I believe doesn't require any dexterity for you to have on yourself.
Dual Wielding was even more potent in 3.5, when you could get dragonfire inspiration up and set it up so that it would use Sonic or Acid damage instead of the highly resistible fire damage.
It does require some work to do though, but it is pretty potent and a good way to get more reliable damage than a two-hander. Because you don't need to set your attack on fire to get damage bonuses. It is especially good in pathfinder where the maximum number that you can power attack is locked for some fucking reason.

Reminder that Disk is a hack who recycles characters and abuses the trust of the ReviewAnon name to build unearned hype for his characters and those of his friends.

Still needs full attacks to do correctly so it's far less mobile than other PoW

Well, problems with dual-wielding include the upkeep on two weapons, the attack penalty making the extra attacks unreliable, the difficulties overcoming DR, and the massive character investment required to make the most of it. While it's possible to do some pretty cool things with it, two-hander builds tend to work better for less.

I don't, but I've a decent working theory. It's like how I suspect that SotJR was picked to satisfy memes, FotJR was picked based on the GM knowing certain people to be good players through personal experience, and LoBaF was picked based on some hidden theme the GM hadn't made public.
It just raises too many questions to think that two-thirds of those picked for Blingmaker were *coincidentally* those who'd been hyped the hardest and flirting the most in the threads.
