Their Avatar of War set gives them 1350 recovery and power just for using encounter powers. Please tell me another class that can stack that much damage.
They are not underpowered. They just don't have a spot in a good party in pve. Even if cryptic doubles the damage they do now(aoe) they still won't have a spot in a dungeon run where you can simply push the mobs off a cliff. In any other dungeon, their aoe dps could be handy, but still it is far better to grab another CW for extra CC. In PVP though, they are a real beast!
In pvp 2 titan\ 2 scrapper\ ice axe\ Thickgristle \ health rings GWF can stand on enemy base 1 vs 5 jsut by using reaping stike.... I know our GWF can...PvE.. Conqueror\Tactician is KC set is better but 14k gs GWF still gets the job done.

Assuming you create a post such as this with knowledge. YOU do know that the bis for gwf is 2x avatar of war and 2x vigilant right?
Devs in this game seriously screw gwf. They have 0 good set bonus and they are useless in pve except in pvp.
Why useless in pve? Read around and self educate. Too much posts about that.
