[QUOTE="cooperjer, post: 7014523, member: 6862150"] A player and I went over the different fighting style a lot about 3 or 4 months ago. My conclusion was that a rule change to swap the abilities of Dueling Fighting style and Great Weapon fighting style made things more balanced. Refer to this post. [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?495810-A-Review-of-Fighting-Styles-in-5ed&p=6923332#post6923332[/url] Dueling feels like it works best when Hunters Mark or Hex are involved. Hex or Hunters Mark seem to be most beneficial when the combat will run more than 3 rounds. In addition, if you have the ability to add more than just your strength or dex bonus then it helps a lot. In addition to the paladin class, the warlock class can add their charisma bonus to their bound weapon attacks. As written this is a single weapon, but you might be able to convince your DM to allow it to apply to both weapons of a dual wielder. There may be a couple spells that work well in addition to Hunters Mark or Hex. I would have to look at Shillelagh to find out if it is concentration and if you can put it on two weapons. The spells Magic Weapon and Elemental Weapon are two that should be looked as well. [/QUOTE]
