Currently, only sure-strike and wicked-strike are listed as receiving a buff.... why is this? Repeating strike and weapon master's strike also need buffs; you're basically forcing every GWF into the instigator tree, only buffing their at wills... The destroyer tree also needs it's at-wills buffed too!
I'm not completely sure if these upcoming balances are going to really improve the GWF. But, I can completely understand where you're coming from OP. I hope for the sake of GWF, they buff them well and make them very viable. Tried of seeing 2 or even 3 other rogues in group with me.

GWF need all there powers buffed not just the at wills there dailies and encounters are lower in damage than all other classes yet they wield the highest damage weapons in the game. A Cleric at 60 gets a 14k single target daily power, and 5k Encounter Aoe Powers. A GWF gets a 5k single target daily power and 2k aoe encounter powers. I have played a cleric without using any helaing powers and only pure damage they do damage well, and put all fighters out of a job for damage. Fighters really need the buff as they face the melee restriction and there AC does not mean as much as it should in this game.
Reaping strike is already considered a useless at-will by many GWFs in it is not buffed along with other at wills it will just simply be never used. Which is very very sad for any class to have any obsolete powers.
Remove the self snare on Reaping Strike, and remove the dmg amp from WMS and make it teleport you behind your target so it's a mobility/utility at will, then buff the dmg on your at wills to compensate.

I would love a shorter charge time for Reaping Strike.
That purpose, in itself, is completely useless considering that a CW can one-shot most of the trash mobs in dungeon by bumping them.
GWF simply doesn't have any purpose in PvE.
Maybe if it was a good debuffer it could be a TR's best friend to kill big mobs like best bros... but that's about the only possible evolution I see about this sad class.

Perhaps, but I would love to run at full speed with a charged sword and let loose then run away and do it again lol.
