Any major disadvantage to taking a lvl or 2 of Barbarian for my human fighter?

Lvl 5 fighter, thinking of taking 2 lvls of barbarian to get rage, speed bonus and uncanny dodge. (does uncanny dodge work with heavy armor). Any major disadvantage to doing this?

No major dissadvantage - fighters get more feats - you may lose out on a feat - but you get some many feats as a fighter anyway that the difference is small.

You may also want to take a level of ranger for dual wield.

just don't forget that this only works if you wear light or no armor.

Thanks

I'll probably skip ranger cause I want heavy armor for melee fighters. But I'll definitely take 1 or 2 levels in Barbarian.
