My take away is that my 2H fighter with high and resistance thanks to Shadowheart has made Honor mode very easy. I'm halfway through act 3. Haven't come close to TPK. Also stealing everything with my vampire bro helps considerably to gear up.
Laezels been in that role for me with the githyanki gear. She's still falling occasionally.
What's your go to 2h weapon?
I was using the watchers guide for a while, then Larethian's Wrath for most of the game. Recently got the Giant Slayer. It is a beast.
Also I went Eldritch Knight for my fighter. Shield has saved my ass so many times I couldn't justify maneuvers over it when I was already dealing decent damage and tanking like a hero of old!
As a gith your weapons should be one of these two:

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Silver_Sword_of_the_Astral_Plane
The first one you can get in the creche by killing the lady with the two wolves. The second you can get from Voss in act 1 by making him drop it or act 3 by killing him or accepting his quest. Getting Voss to drop it in act 1 is very dicey without a specific setup so make sure you research how to do it if you want that one early.
Depends on the build, for an EK with Tavern Brawler you just won't find better than the Returning Pike in two handed. Though late game the Dwarven Thrower (works for any race with Disguise Self) and Orphic Hammer are both crazy good versatile weapons.
GWM though. Early game I have to go with Doom Hammer. There are too many enemies vulnerable to bludgeoning damage and almost none that are resistant or immune. Plus the status to prevent healing shuts down so many boss abilities. Late game it gets outclassed by Balduran's Giantslayer, the Hellfire Greataxe, and Silver Sword of the Astral Plane depending on the build.
