It depends on the build you want, and in most cases, there are certainly better weapons than the Greatsword of Artorias, since constant usage of the sword demands that you keep all four scaling stats equal.

There's two ways of looking at this:
 * 1) If you want to achieve the SL125 meta for PvP, then this is a bad thing, as you leave very little room for upgrading other stats; or
 * 2) If you just want to play the game at whatever level, then this weapon is excellent, since you have the flexibility of levelling up in whatever way you want without having to worry about your level.

Also, the strong attacks of this weapon have a very long starting animation, making it clear to invaders what you plan to do.

Hope this helps. :)
