There is a MASSIVE diference between a ranger with 3 slots in two weapon style and a fighter with 3 slots in two weapon style because the fighter can grandmaster in a weapon while the ranger cannot-hes stuck with being specialised.
In short the fighter will be better at wielding two weapons if all other things are equal.
in reply to Bilikins the ranger is considered a fighter class-same thaco weapon choice, number of proficiencies, proficiency advancement, hit points, choice of armour etc-he just can put more than two proficiencies in a single type of weapon (unless he's an archer).
Yes two weapon style does rock but you sacrifice your AC. It is usualy better to make your secondary fighter or a dual class fighter/mage a dual wielder and get them to enter combat after your tank because they take less hits.
Dual wielders do get extra attacks but I'm not sure how many (I think its one)
I would like to emphasize just how much of a bad idea it is to dual wield if you only have one proficiency in a weapon type (even with three proficiencies in dual weapon style) the only non fighter class that can get away with it is the swashbuckler I believe because he can put extra slots into some weapons-long swprd, dagger etc.
