The Generals flail

Someone just gave me two Jah for the generals flail! Needless to say I am very happy with that trade but I had to wonder why anyone would pay 2 Jah for it (actually I thought he was pulling my leg). It looks like it might make a damn good smiter weapon. Upgrade it, throw a shael in it and you will reach max ias and it slows target 50%. Would the slow target work on other players and Ubers if you smited them? Do you think thats why he wanted the flail? :scratch:

PS-I'm going to have to stop selling them for gold when I find them now :tongue:

the person was probably a cheap duper who could care less :(, sell those jahs fast or make an eni :P
 
cheap duper turned bad manner dueler.

i saw this one barb with doom/generals and when he hit people they moved like snails.
 
I don't think you'll ever find another person who is willing to pay that price.

Slow target would work on other players, but is considered by most to be "bad manners".
 
Its a very BM weapon especially on LLD. Once slowed the enemy can hardly do anything. Remember this slow can be carried over to smite as well ! Once smited a switch will kill most melee classes.
 
Nice trade. :shocked:
Usually, the General Tan Do Li Ga flails end up not even being picked up.
 
It doesn't slow people as much, but a better weapon to use would be an Astreon's Iron Ward. IAS, +2-4 Combat skills, Crushing Blow, and +damage make this a perfect weapon for a BM smiter.

I don't know if they do it much nowadays, but I remember how a while ago, bowazons made use of the General's flail. They would fire off a Guided Arrow, and quickly switch to the flail before the arrow hits, thus making the arrow acquire the Slow modifier from the flail.

It probably still does, but I have not really seen many bowazons in duels nowadays. What's the Malice for? The 100% OW?
