Do you still need the "Focus" skill on Greatsword?

​Focus is NOT a core skill for greatsword anymore, due to new guard silkbind preferring slower charges (more time to react); on top of that the same counter puts you at max charge regardless of your focus level.
However; having focus in your armor sets still increases your overall consistency and DPS, as such, it is still one of the best GS skill during generic hunts.
If you are playing an elemental-type GS, focus is lower in priority as you are probably going to use the surge slash combo that has no charge levels.
