Greatsword is a hit and run weapon, and good usage of it requires a good feel for its charge timings and of how the monster behaves. It generally is a proactive weapon than a reactive one.

Hammer is sort of like this too, but has a lot more leniency because it can move while charging and it doesnt rely entirely on its charges to do good damage

A lot of the hits with the hammer's charge are based on boss prediction and knowing they'll leave themselves open at the right moment. The two bosses that have been a relative struggle so far have been the ones that like to go underground because hammer isn't fast enough to really pick at their openings most of the time.

Yeah, greatsword is much the same way. Its generally stronger but slower, and much more reliant on armor skills (focus, primarily) for ease of use. Hammer doesnt really want any skill in the same way, it is much easier to pick up and play.

You can use greatsword without focus to good success, but it's more difficult.
