With TWF you lose crit SA dice if the second roll crits after the action already landed SA without a crit.At 3rd level and above a Rogue wielding a Rapier with advantage will outdamage a Rogue wielding 2 shortswords using TWF. Even a Rogue wielding a single shortsword with advantage will outdamage one using two shortswords and TWF after 11th level.</blockquote>
