Assuming no GWM/SS, are different fighting styles roughly balanced?

[QUOTE="CTurbo, post: 7222470, member: 6855234"] Are we strictly talking about Fighting Styles? If so, I think the Archery's +2 to attacks is probably the strongest. It is especially awesome at low levels since it literally doubles your proficiency bonus to attack. The Two Weapon Fighting style is most damaging at low levels(1-4) and hangs with the 2 attack Great Weapon Fighters at 5-10 assuming no feats. Dueling is strong. +2 to damage is a lot at low levels for sure. 1d8+2 is roughly on par with 1d12+0 and characters that choose Dueling almost always use a shield for a higher AC. I like the Defense fighting style, but it is rather boring for sure. I actually do not like the GWF style and usually choose defense on my 2 handed weapon characters. I have never seen Protection in action so I have no opinion there. [/QUOTE]
