So  that same Fighter, if he were using a scimitar and had Mastery over it, would make three attacks as part of his Attack Action, and still have a bonus action to use on something else. And that's where the Dual Wielding Feat comes in.  It allows a SEPERATE Bonus Action attack, distinct from the one granted by the Light Property.  So if you have mastery over Scimitar's, and are wielding two weapons, That same Fighter can then make 3 attacks as part of their action and another one with their bonus action.Most classes don't get Masteries, however.  Just predominantly martial ones, unless they take a Feat.</blockquote>
