Great swords to me are really stupid. I know, I know, they have a LOT of power, but for me, you need to complement that with speed, and lets face it: Great Swords are out paced by only lances. If you ask me, they just aren't all that effective at quests, especially for beginners. FYI, never try to hunt jaggi your first time with it. It never ended well with me until I had, now, about a year of monster hunting training under my belt.
