Slings: We need options. (in General)

It was argued about constantly in CB1 to little avail, but assuming that there are no SoD's in this game, the sling department in CB2 seems a little lacking.

I'd like to see seeker ammo for slings rather than a non-upgradeable sling like the SoD...

Either that, or have a new upgradeable rare sling thats a bit meatier.

What gave you the impression that all classes of ranged weapons are supposed to be equally useful?

Slings already give you options; or at least one, anyway. You can choose lower damage for an extra round in which to do damage.

It also has no penalties at all when combined with a shield.

From CB1 thread located here.

"do slings really become useless THAT quickly?"

Jon plays the role of sling-defender in this thread, chatting up the easily upgradeable pebbles as well. Though, I do suppose that the above quote insinuates the sling eventually becoming useless--just not as soon as most people would have liked to believe...

And that saddens me.

Slings > Xbows

sling might not be the equally useful weapon on high level as bows and xbows, but it has some abilities which can be useful in some particular strategies.

Also I got this idea what if slings had the ability to target a minion with the least HP? Or maybe only sling (not staff-sling)
