There's been a number of times the advantage has gave me a crit so it somewhat makes up for the lose of the attack; throw in a action surge for an extra 2 attacks with advantage and that has not been a joke. And then there is just the general fun of interacting with the physical world in a number of flashier ways which you may not otherwise attempt in fear of the skill check failure i.e. Once after I grappled a creature I moved half my speed with it through a door smashing it and entering the next area before finishing it off with a thrust of the blade through the side of its neck; the DM was loving it so he allowed the scenario in the first place and then he allowed me to make a intimidation against the creatures in next room. I get that some DM's are can be awkward with stuff like that but most I have played with are all for it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
