Further, TWF requires you to burn your bonus action to use it, which a rogue in melee is often better spent using for disengage to get out of melee with the foe. What a greatsword wielding rogue does is COMBINE the best of both options; the damage of two successful TWF attacks + damage bonus equal to sharpshooter + free use of bonus action to disengage. Its straight-up superior to either option, especially when combined with advantage (which is easy enough to get and one of the ways you get SA anyway). Oh, want to get sick? Take a level of fighter and take Great Weapon Master. Reroll all 1's and 2's on sneak attack dice? Yes please! A thug SA with a longsword (one-handed, not versatile) is completely in line with the rogue's other best options (rapier for dex, light crossbow for ranged). A greatsword dwarfs all other options.</blockquote>
