Crafted Great Flail

[Waung]

<div>WOOT, pristine imbued xegonite great flail looks pretty nice, especially with the 3.8 delay and BIG hits.  sure hope this will work with our 2hander AA's (although i doubt it) when this all goes live.  Cant wait for a slow 2hander that's crafted though with the expansion.</div>

<div></div>Hooray!  They finally *finally* put a Great Flail craftable item in!!/dance

<div></div>Too bad its after the changes that makes 2h suck.

[Colossaltitan]

<div></div>Yeah, but still!

[BrainMu]

<div>Sorry if i sound stupid, but i took some time off from the game ... when or what did they do to 2h to make them suck?</div>

[Gaige]

<div></div>They evened out 2h/dw riposte rate and the damage done over time pretty much.

<div></div>I've still always been a fan of the Great Flail look though.  Its better than the baseball bat mace imo.

<div></div>For one they upped the damage rating of DWs a lot.  It's pretty easy to get a combined damage rating of 90+ with 2 good dual wielders.  Not sure if there are any monk usable DoF fabled 2 handers even in the 80s.

<div></div>Hand of the Godking.But IMO its more of a mage weapon.

<div>The proc rate will still be higher on the lower speed weapon!</div>
