Notes from author
Like the other Endurance Gouges, this build combines 50 Vitality with insanely high defense and poise.
The Great Lord Greatsword is the most underrated greatsword. Sure, it doesn't have as great a moveset as the Claymore, Flamberge or MLGS. But, it makes up for that with its insanely high base damage and for being in the "fast" greatsword swing speed category. I recommend that you frequently use the 1h and 2h r1 movesets, along with the WD R1s. Bring out the Rapier for certain situations, or to change things up. It's also useful after a toggle that you will lead into a bs (it will, on average, do more damage on a bs then the GLGS).
