To be specific you can use your bonus actions attack bonus for the bonus. Dnd 5e Dual Wielding needs the use of your bonus action after spending your Spell action or attack. In the 5th edition, the attack with another armament used your additional effort and reflected in a distinct bonus attack. It is a new action, and not a complete attack action – so you only acquire to roll the attack risk once even if you have certain class aspects (such as Barbarian, Fighter, or Paladin).
Everybody can dual-wield. If you are applying two Light armaments and you receive the Attack Action, then you can take an additional Action for an extra fight attack. This bonus fight attack does not advantage from further damage from Power or Deftness. So if you have a 5th Stage Barbarian using two small weapons, let’s say.
Attack Action will provide two spells, each dealing 1d6+Str+Rage+Probable Magic Effects. The additional attack will then deal with 1d6+Rage+ Probable Magic Effects.
Now, if you do a Dual Wielding 5e Feat, you can use Fight Axes or Longswords, and it will seem like this:
Spell Action: Two Attacks of 1d8+Str+Anger+Magic Effects
Additional Attack: 1d8+Fury+Magic Effects
Guards and Fighters have the choice to take the Two-Weapon Combat Style, which will give Bonus dual-wield spell achieve the advantage of Power or Deftness. So it would seem like this for a Guard that takes that style:
Spell Action: Two Attacks of 1d8+Str+Enchanted Effects
Bonus Attack: 1d8+Str+Magic Effects
Consequently, a Barbarian can dip into Warrior or Ranger to acquire the Combat Style, but it is not compulsory.
For one thing, in many forms, you use your bonus action for other things. The Attack Action can happen with either a weapon or both. It troubles when you have two magic weapons that have different effects. Like, say armaments dealing with fire and ice damage.
When you perform an attack action and spell with a light fight armament that you are grasping, on the one hand, you can use a bonus spell to attack with various light fight armaments that you can use on the other side. Unless the modifier is negative, you don’t add your skill changer to the bonus ability damage. If an armament has a thrown property, you can throw the weapon, instead of creating a fighting attack with it. The 5e Dual Wielding Feat permits the use of non-light arms in dual-wielding and provides a +1 to AC while applying two weapons.
But the significant thing is that Two- Armament fighting uses your new action. Meaning there are many aspects, curses, and skills you cannot use in arrangement with Two- Armament fighting on a solo chance, which is the only purpose why it is usually considered sub-optimal. This mini-guide mainly concentrates on this when allowing whether a class or archetype is ideal for dual-wielding.
The 5e Dual Wielding Rules create no difference between armaments or hands when it arises to the Attack action. The thing to note (for spell casters) is that if you don’t possess Warcaster and a weapon useable as a spellcasting focus, you have to miss one of those armaments and grasp attention at any time you cast a curse with substantial modules. Best weapons are superior if:
The fight is small, but you still wish to rage, because of losing a bonus action with a two-weapon battle in the first round.
Massive hits are necessary, like against zombies.
You can get a magical weapon for your charisma (possibly one friend can cast the magic armament spell) when fighting opponents with resistance or protection to non-magical armaments.
Your enemy has a very extraordinary AC, as a more significant percentage of hits will be critical, thus favoring the superior death.
My barbarain has 20 in strength (5) and has a handaxe+1 and a handaxe
So currently he can do
First attack
Handaxe+1 (1d20+10 to hit) (1d6+6 damage)
Bonus-action two weapon fighting Handaxe (1d20+9 to hit) (1d6 damage) (on round two if I rage )
Second attack
Handaxe+1 (1d20+10 to hit) (1d6+6 damage)
I don’t get what dual wielder gives.
Okay, so a couple of things here are worth talking about.
The first is the bonus action cannot interrupt your action unless it expressly says so. What's more, Two-Weapon Fighting expressly requires the Attack action to take place, and the Bonus Action cannot happen until the action is over. This means your attack action must resolve before you can use TWF. If you tried to split up the attack action with TWF, by RAW you end your attack action early.
The second is how your attacks would look. And, judging by your write-up, it's sans rage, so we'll go with that and keep it simple, that said, you do get to add your rage bonus to both weapon attacks.
So your two +1 handaxe attacks are done together and would look like this:
+1 Handaxe. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d6+5+1) slashing damage.
And then your regular handaxe attack would look like this:
Handaxe. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 3 (1d6) slashing damage.
The third is the Dual Wielder feat, which grants three perks:
You gain a +1 bonus to AC while you are wielding a separate melee weapon in each hand.
You can use two-weapon fighting even when the one-handed melee weapons you are wielding aren't light.
You can draw or stow two one-handed weapons when you would normally be able to draw or stow only one.
So your AC increases by +1, you can wield bigger weapons (like a battleaxe), and you can draw both as a single action. Now, here's the rub. AC is something of a sucker's bet for barbarians. Reckless Attacks is something you're going to using doing regularly, and your damage resistances are there to help survive enemies constantly having advantage while attacking you. And you can't initiate Rage and use TWF in the same round because both use your Bonus Action, so drawing two weapons at once isn't helpful. You'd really just draw one weapon, rage, and attack twice for your first round. For the second round, you can draw a second weapon and then use TWF. The only real point of the feat would be to wield one-handed, possibly versatile, weapons in one or both hands. This isn't helpful because the damage would be the same compared to your +1 handaxe and would actually have a slightly lower chance of hitting.
It's a good feat for someone specializing in TWF, but I don't think it's good for a barbarian. Heck, if you just switched out to a greatsword or maul you'd be doing identical damage with just two attacks, and I'm including your rage damage bonus into that math. Great Weapon Master is typically the better feat for barbarians.
To amplify what Garret said above, the primary benefit is being able to use D8 weapons in each hand (instead of d6 weapons), with some ancillary fringe benefits. So, you could trade in your handaxes for battleaxes.

Any time an unfathomably powerful entity sweeps in and offers godlike rewards in return for just a few teensy favors, it’s a scam. Unless it’s me. I’d never lie to you, reader dearest.

If take Dual Wielde. Does that mean I can hit twice per attack? Can't see why you would take it if not once you get two attacks.

The same basic game rules apply. First swing is your action, Second swing is your bonus action.
Dual wheels gives you Plus one AC well you have a melee weapon in each hand.
Your weapons don't have to have the light trait.
And you can draw/stow them at the same time.
