Granadosource's take:
Greatswords got the highest ATK Power for all melee weapons. It is a bit faster than Polearms but packs more damage. Roof Guard is a purely offensive stance that focuses on power and speed. At max level of the stance, it gives you 30% ASPD and with the right equipments you can hit as low as 40 ASPD with such a weapon. PvE-wise even though it deals the most on Hard/Heavy Armored monsters it still deals comparable amount of damage to other armor types. Though you won't be able to deal the maximum damage, the attack speed it gives you makes up for it. Dread Worm is its only AoE skill, similar to most directional type of skills, you have to practice its use and target accordingly. Genocide is a single target attack that inflicts painful damage on the target. It also can be used to hold the target enough for your other characters to use their skills. Fury, the last skill, is its bread and butter. Fury allows you 25% more Attack Speed at level 10 which allows you to use harder hitting Greatswords and still maintaining lightning fast Attack Speed. Higher level of the skill grants you an extra AR.
PvP-Wise, Roof Guard is a bit useful. It can be paired with status ailments like stun to create a stun-locking Greatsword wielder. For it to shine, you must get high ATK % GreatSwords and/or status ailments like Stun etc to be able to fully utilize its fast Attack Speed. Dread Worm can also be used in succession with Genocide. Right after using Genocide and knocking the target back, cast Dread Worm at a distant and it should still hit as the target is going up. Roof Guard is also an amazing CW tool due to its insane attack speed.
