I'd like to compile what people know about the GWF just for kicks. I only know a little bit from researching and watching videos. Hopefully some folks can toss in some facts to help out.
- Role: Damage Dealer and Secondary Defender (http://nw.perfectworld.com/news/?p=799381)
- Has slow attacks with decent reach similar to Cleave for the Guardian
- Uses the dodge meter to "Sprint" meaning it can move in a direction quickly while draining the bar (different from dodging in that the distance is adjustable)
- Has several AE encounter powers, including some that knockback or knockdown. I also saw the same visual for taunting as the Guardian, although less frequently, unsure of specifics
- Builds "Determination" in order to use class skill "Unstoppable" but I don't know what the mechanics are for that
Questions:
What does Unstoppable do?
What types of heroic feats do they get? (Such as "Action Advantage" for Rogue, what builds up the GWF Action Points more quickly?)
Anyone have things to add or other questions?

Even though I plan on going tank or cleric that class looks like it will be nice to have in parties.
It's an entirely separate class from the Guardian Fighter. The Great Weapon Fighter has not been accessible in the beta weekends yet.
PBAoE Burst 1: 2[W]+str per target and you may shift 10 feet before making a secondary attack
PBAoE Burst 1: 2[W]+str per target.
Level 23 encounter power: Warrior's Urging
PBAoE Burst 4: All targets must shift up to 3 squares to move adjacent to you before you make the secondary attack.
PBAoE Burst 1: 2[W]+str per target.
Level 19 daily power: Devastation's Wake
PBAoE Burst 1: 3 [W]+str per target and subjects that move next to you or end their turn next to you are subject to a secondary attack.
PBAoE Burst 1: 1[W]+str per target
Half damage on a miss.
Level 17 encounter power: Vorpal Tornado
PVAoE Burst 1: 1 [W]+Str per target and push the target 1 square, knocking them prone.
Level 9 Daily power: Thicket of Blades
PBAoE Burst 1: 3 [W]+str per target and the target is slowed.
Level 7 encounter power: Com and Get It
PBAoE Burst 3: All targets must shift 2 squares to end their movement adjacent to you. Then are targeted by the secondary attack.
PBAoE Burst 1: [2W]+str per target and the target takes a -2 AC penalty for 1 turn.
Level 3 encounter power: Sweeping Blow
PBAoE Burst 1: 1[W]+str
All of these are from the PHB1.
Many of the powers in Neverwinter are not direct ports from the 4e game, but rather adaptations or wholly new powers with the same or a similar purpose.
