The free bonus action attack and removing to-hit penalties are extremely useful. GWM is a good solution if there's a creature you can kill this turn or can get a critical hit.At level 1 you can one-shot a goblin fairly easily with a greatsword with GWF. A raging barbarian (without GWF) always will. A non-raging barbarian will do so 92% of the time on a hit. A fighter or level 2 paladin with GWF and a 16 STR will do so 99.3% of the time. A level 1 or 2 PC will with 16 STR will hit the AC 15 goblin 55% of the time so you get that extra attack 50-55% of the time. Since you have one attack per turn that's a 50-55% damage boost. So at low levels it's great because you can kill things in one round/one hit and get the extra attack. At higher levels you have lots of tools at your disposal to overcome the -5 part of the -5/+10 and the extra attack is just gravy.</blockquote>
