We need more flail weapons! 1H and 2H flails!

Make it so!

Cool ones though. I saw that weird one everyone got excited about a few weeks back and I just didn’t get it.

You mean those maces with keychains from Zereth Mortis?

I’d like to see more flails that resemble the Paladin and Warrior artifact appearances. You know, actual flails.

Yeah. Didn’t care for those at all. Really liked the ones that were available in Legion that I missed.

Agreed. When I heard there were flails in ZM, I was disproportionately excited up until I saw what they actually looked like.

But
 maybe the fact that they’ve added these “fails” now could be indicative of what we might get in Dragonflight. One can hope!

That’s an epic flail. You flailed to convince me.

We need flails like Diablo has. My goodness there are so many and look so nice in motion.

flails! And whips. Mostly flails.

Only reason I even attempted doing the warrior mage tower in legion but after doing it for guardian and lacking the ‘best’ legos I just didn’t have it in me. the ZM flails are okay, just too damn glowy, I say that like I wouldn’t be perfectly happy smashing baddies with a giant chain pretending it was a whip and listening to various iterations of Bloody Tears.

Not an argument against, just for anyone who might be interested.

Interesting read! I’ve never heard that take on flails before, and I can certainly agree that a flail doesn’t make the most sense as a weapon of war.

It’s a good thing Azeroth is a land of magic and fantasy! :crazy_face:

Most MMOs and other super high traffic games tend to avoid using flails and other similar objects as it is a huge programming issue.

This. I’d have to imagine the physics and attack animations are problematic.

They do look cool though. So there’s that.

Huh?

I’m literally still using them. I think they look fantastic.

That said, I tried using them on my Prot Warrior and they didn’t seem like a good fit there. I definitely think there’s some room for more flails. Something akin to the Vampire Killer would look great for a tank.

My problem with them is that shade of yellow doesn’t really match anything.

It would cause huge and massive server lag though. Something as little as that is actually very complicated to pull off. I am 100% willing to bet that the dev team wants this to happen too but they do not have the means to pull it off smoothly. If they were able to pull it off then you would not have fluid movements, you would have a stick with a spiked ball attached to it with a chain that moved in a straight line and didnt bend or flex like an actual chain should and it would be stiff and static movements. Not the smooth and fluid movement of a flail that you would be hoping for.

I want it as well but it can not realistically happen currently.

Some you’re going to like, some you’re not. Just like every other weapon. The point being, more options = better chance there will be one you like. :wink: :+1:
