The General's Tan Do Li Ga

The General's Tan Do Li Ga is a unique Flail in Diablo 2 Resurrected that provides excellent utility for melee characters in late Normal and early Nightmare difficulty. This weapon combines solid damage, attack speed, and the valuable 5% Mana Stolen per Hit modifier.

Mana Sustainability

The defining feature of this flail is its mana leech property, which solves mana problems for skill-dependent melee builds. Combined with +50-60% Enhanced Damage, 20% Increased Attack Speed, and Adds 1-20 Damage, the weapon delivers consistent performance. The Slows Target by 50% modifier provides crowd control, while +25 Defense adds minor survivability.

Build Applications

Barbarians with mace mastery benefit greatly from this weapon when dual-wielding or paired with the Malice runeword. Paladins using Zeal find the mana leech invaluable for maintaining Concentration aura. The fast attack speed and low requirements make it accessible for multiple classes from level 21 onwards.

Upgrade Potential

The General's Tan Do Li Ga can be upgraded through the Horadric Cube to exceptional and elite versions, significantly increasing its damage output. When upgraded to a Scourge, it becomes viable for mid-Nightmare difficulty. However, most players eventually replace it with weapons offering skill bonuses or switch to dedicated runewords like Oath or Lawbringer.
