I like this suggestion of mine so much from a different thread, I figured I would share it here.
Probably still needs some math done to make sure it's not OP.

It should become better later. Now low level there is no reason for sword and broad

Except for a Vhuman with Shieldmaster, a Paladin with the Protection fighting style, and a Fighter with the Protection fighting style. And don't forget characters who just want to have the +2 AC, since +2 means a lot in a system with Bounded Accurracy.

Could you clarify two things for me.

Firstly when you attack with two weapons does that count as one hit for hunters mark/hex?

Secondly does that feat mean you attack with both weapons in the bonus attack?

Edit;
So after mulling it over what you've essentially done is turn dual wielding into two handed fighting. The fighter who goes TWF essentially loses out on a fighting style in comparison to the THF but great weapon fighting is about +2 damage which balances out with the +2 damage from 2 scimitars over a 2d6 THW.

The feat on the other hands seems too powerful, (assuming you do get to attack with both weapons), you get an extra 2d8 a turn and +1 ac. This to me seems insane. To be honest even if it's just 1d8 a turn I still think it's pretty strong, but acceptable
