Its very tolerable. In fact it completely trivializes waterfowl. This weapon only has 68% physical reduction and a base Guard Boost of 44.

That said, you usually have enough time to switch to a shield, which is better. But in your case the Greatsword has the same Guard Boost as the fucking Brass Shield, the best medium shield in the game, so its not necessary.

Yes that's why you only pull it out for waterfowl. Also you're using the Greatsword you dumbass, you don't even need a shield at all.

It has limited application. Especially if you use dual weapons.
