A greatsword is to a fighter, what a fireball is to a wizard.

It is iconic, it is stylish, and well it's always been pretty solid.

What is the appeal of the greatsword in 2024? I know that people who graph damage say that Graze is actually good, but to my eyes it is wildly underwheling.

Two weapon fighting, polearm master, and every other weapon having a better weapon master - just makes me feel like the greatsword has become a flavour choice rather than a viable choice?

It's just odd to me I guess, but maybe I am not as well versed in the 2024 eddition and someone can let me know why the greatsword is still good?
