Sling OP?

[Drahcir0]

So just a question: do you think, The that the sling is OP? It´s easy to make, small, sheap/free amunition, and can kill a dogmen. /discuss

Maybe. Thrown stones/pebbles don't have armor penetration but most enemies have no proper armor anyways.

i think its a useful thing to carry, (especially if you have Ranged, and good eyesight), but it might not be that overpowered, since you can still start in closer combat and not get to fire many pebbles etc.

I woke up with a dogmen standing over me, I dodge rolled, got up and then did hit 'n' run. I killed him.

Well, even a stone thrown by hand could kill a person IRL. Maybe the sling should degrade faster, being only made with rags and string.

It probably would be OP if you could load more than two stones in it and if stones generally were lighter. As it stands, it's an absolutely brilliant stungun, it's great as a back-up weapon (especially because of how small and easy to make it is), but it doesn't really cut it as a primary. But yeah, it's still bordering on OP I find, and with ranged characters it can really save the day very often.

I woke up a few times with a dogman at 0 to 3 range and to be honest most of the time i got killed by it. but still its really strong in other cases

I've killed dogmen with it while using a purely negative-skill trait character. You can also one-shot kill plenty of people with it if you hit them in the head. It is my go-to weapon of choice.

Always misses for me. Even with Ranged. They have to be within about 4 range for me to actually hit them, and when it does it usually just "hurts" them.
Now spears, they're OP. Just as plentiful as slings, but waaay more effective. A good spear and a few melee traits and even dogmen can't beat you.
