That is true!
The greatsword might have longer reach and more AOE damage than the mace, but is significantly slower. Yeah, thralls with the sowrd sometimes just stay and stare at the enemy, who is quicker simply because he decides to attack instead of standing in on guard possition. 
Meanwhile mace heavy attack combo is almost unstoppable and thralls are usually finishing it without any problems. I have around ten another legendary maces, but have no idea about some crafted ones being better than those? Maybe there are, I did not try any so far.
