Dire flail
Template:Version031 Template:Weapon Template:Flavour Template:Crawlquote
Dire flails have respectable damage and attack quickly, though they require two hands to wield.
Strategy
A good early game weapon for Maces & Flails users, since it's good at low skill. Despite being two-handed, they attack faster (and harder) than both maces and flails, meaning it takes less skill to reach a "reasonable" attack speed.
If you are a Maces & Flails user who hasn't found a shield yet, there's little reason not to use a dire flail. Even if you have found a shield, a dire flail can remain competitive at low weapon skill. At high skill (around 14-16 skill), it is generally outclassed by either morningstar + shield or a great mace.
