[QUOTE="ZombieRoboNinja, post: 6591708, member: 54843"] If the potential problem is an imbalance between GWF/SS and other weapon style feats, the obvious solution would be to boost those other feats. Especially since neither Dual Wielder nor Defensive Duelist is particularly optimal as-is. DW lets you dual-wield non-light weapons (effectively +1 damage per hit, aside from weird cases like dual-wielding whips) and gives you +1 AC.
