The higher to-hit bonus that the feat will generally give will make GWM more usable, countering the fact that they won't be adding so much strength to damage, and they will have the better initiative, reflex save, skills etc that focusing on Dex allows as well. Remember that in 5th ed, Strength is athleticism and the amount of force you can generate, not just muscle bulk. Thus, under the armour, that knight might look more like Bruce Lee than the Mountain.(Also bear in mind that, certainly in the Mountain's duel scene, which is the only part of the series that I've really watched, they really played up the 'lumbering hulk' stereotype. That is not how an experienced fighter would be.)</blockquote>
