[QUOTE="Kithas, post: 6839158, member: 97587"] Depends on what you want. In the title you mention dual wielding. If that is indeed your goal then Ranger does pretty well in that regard, not the best oddly(would you believe paladin?) but pretty well. They get the twf fighting style and hunter definitely has some great features to help you, from hordebreaker or colossus slayer to multiattack defense and whirlwind attack they have some great stuff. Your problems come in when you look at spells. Ranger's rely pretty heavily on that bonus action to use and manipulate their spells, casting/moving hunter's mark, entangling strike, lightning arrow, hail of thorns etc all use the bonus action. And these are some of the best things about rangers. If you definitely want to go ranger though, grab twf, some rapiers and Dual Wielder asap. That extra ac and d8 damage is necessary to keep you competitive. I'm glad you didn't forget to get a decent con score. Don't forget to increase it as you level, you'll need it. Hope that helps!
