Hey I was liking this archetype but I am really having trouble figuring out the Advanced Weaponry portion.
Basically it seemed like the Fighter was the easy way to qualify for this but also has the most overlap.
Can anyone help me figure out other classes that can reasonably qualify for this archetype?
This is a home game and my GM is much more RAI than RAW if that helps.

almost any human class other then wizard can be qualified by level 2 just use 2 general feats from the human choices martial weapon twice and be from the right region
Any martinal class can qualify being human and getting Aldori with a general feat. Other races will need to wait level 4 to get the archetype.
Ok I will take a look, sounds expensive though :)

Plus you can also do some unorthodox stuff too, like making a Barbarian who wields an oversized dueling sword or a ranger who dual-wields them.

You would lose out on your parrying feats if you went that route, though you can build a great duelist without one, and since your off-hand weapon isn't agile you'd be eating higher MAP for trying to duel wield, though you can make some of that up with Flurry.
I do really like the idea of someone doing fancy swordplay with a sword longer than they are, though.

You could Dex-focus a Barbarian/Fighter and dual wield large-sized dueling swords. That might be a build? It would take a while to actually get into duelist at that point though

Dragon instinct barb duelist would be really fun, and fit the theme of the region that they are from, as well.
