Dex > strength even with PAM and PAM gets wrecked at range while the TWF can put away a weapon and draw a bow and use it while the PAM user puts away a weapon, misses an attack and then gets to throw a single spear (or whatever) the following round.  The few TWF users I sew with the feat wander round with a single weapon drawn and they can easily draw another one or switch to a bow in the same round. Dex based battlemaster switched to a bow, action surge and granted an extra attack to the Rogue while the great weapon fighter twiddled his thumbs. I'm also really really cheap with magical polearms and play adventures by the book in terms of magic items handed out. Magical showrdswords, rapiers and daggers seem a lot more common than polearms.  I have seen 1 feral TWF build that acquired a flaming short sword and a frostbrand IIRC. Generally PAM is better but its not absolute and I use varied encounters so you will get ranged encounters roughly 1/3rd of the time (well 25-50% of the time rarely 0%).</blockquote>
