It's a new greatsword skin which is an accound bound black lion chest drop.

It is similar to the greatsaw, but having seen them side by side I think they're different enough to be distinct, at least no worse than other similar weapons like Infinite Light and Chaos Sword or Seraph and Krytan weapons.

I was actually thinking it might be good for one of my charr, whereas the greatsaw is too big and clunky for me. Only problem is my permanent ones are a thief and a revenant so they can't use it, and the 3rd one I keep re-making is an engineer...but I really don't need a 3rd engineer so maybe I could swap her to something else? (And if I'm honest I only want an excuse to use the sword so if I try for the bunny lizard and get that I won't be disappointed, and that doesn't seem like a good reason for yet another character I won't have time to play.)

Anyway...the point is to me they're different enough that while I'd never use the greatsaw I have considered using this one. Certainly similar themes, but it's a different take on it IMO.

This weapon has nothing to do with the greatsaw. The greatsaw was themed off halloween. This one appears to be themed off charr machines. Calling it a 'ripoff' is incorrect, otherwise you may as well call every machine-themed weapon a ripoff of whichever one came first.

It looks more like what could have been next tier of machined weps.
