Can you think of another weapon that can cut through tails like a chainsaw through bread? They're the most effective dismemberment weapon available, and also capable of self-defense through blocking, something the other high-damage weapons don't have.

The Greatswords are the jack of all trades, they don't need to be buffed or nerfed. They're fine just the way they are in terms of both damage, playstyle and tactics.
