What's the best way to make a greatsword-wielding thaumaturge?
(Seriously.)

1. Get Quick Draw from an archetype (Duelist, Rogue or Ranger).
2. Have MANY Greatswords on your back.
3. Drop your weapon when you need to use an Implement.
4. Quick Draw another Greatsword to attack.
That's the best I can come up with, and it still sucks. It's like asking "What's the best way to make a dagger-wielding barbarian?" Just even worse.
Probably something like tome that you don't have to hold, weapon that you are already holding and the last is whatever as it's only at lvl 15 anyway, Chalice for an emergency healing I guess?

You’ll actually want quick draw from Vigilante so that you can hide from the shame of this build idea and live a normal life free of the scorn of your peers.

Bastard sword weapon implement. Tome as a secondary so you don't need to hold it for its main benefit. Have a free hand. Multiclass fighter to get dual handed assault. It edges out one handed empowered attacks a little bit.
Only three feats (one of which does nothing but grant a couple extra skills) and a lesser weapon to make it work? XD
It's a pretty solid build, and very versatile.Bastard sword weapon implement. Tome as a secondary so you don't need to hold it for its main benefit. Have a free hand.

Wouldn't a standard thaumaturge with three free feats be more solid and more versatile though?

Yeah, but you wanted a two-handed thaumaturge build.

You only get to free draw an implement when you're replacing an implement you're already holding, so this is still pretty rough.

Greatsword as your Regalia implement.
Of polish it thoroughly to use as mirror?

That's what I get for writing a witty(?) comment about a class I had not yet taken a closer look at. :)

Hang a wind chime on the pommel and use your greatsword as a bell.

Just make the pommel end in a tuning fork.

I know this has turned into a meme thread, but I do think a tuning fork as a bell implement is a legitimately rad idea.
