When adding gear for a swordmage, If the mainhand weapon is say a longsword, and the offhand weapon is anything other than another longsword the character builder maintains that the character receives the +3 to AC for having offhand empty.

However, as soon as you dual wield the same weapons the AC mod goes away, regardless of if it is two longswords, bastard swords, daggers, whatever.

pg 26 Forgetten Realms Players Guide. U must have your offhand free to get the bonus!

This field provides a +1 bonus to AC, or a +3 bonus
if you are wielding a blade in one hand and have your
other hand free (not carrying a shield, an off-hand
weapon, a two-handed weapon, or anything else).

please re-read my bug

Equiping a Longsword in the main hand and a short sword in the offhand (so offhand is not free) still gives the character a +3 AC bonus when they should only receive +1
