[QUOTE="auburn2, post: 8184825, member: 6855259"] Yes there are a few reasons. If one of the weapons is poision or if it is magic and causes some kind of affect on a hit, you might want to lead with that and if it hits then follow up with a weapon that does more damage. If you are a bladesinger using shadowblade you can attack with your shadowblade and then follow up with booming blade or green flame blade for your second attack from another weapon (which is part of the attack action in this case). In strict RAW, if the other weapon is small you could then use two weapon fighting and get a BA attack with the shadowblade and without str/dex bonus. This is an 8 DPR boost from the BA, or 12.5 if it is a 3rd-level shadow blade. With Sentinel feat, you can use a whip in one hand to attack a creature with reach and mark that creature, Then attack another with a better weapon doing more damage thereby giving you the ability to make two AOOs if they both move. If you have a thrown weapon and both your weapons are light but the thrown weapon is more effective, you might want to attack with the thrown weapon in melee then attack with the other light weapon and then throw the thrown weapon as a BA at a different enemy (without S/D dmg).
