A couple of advice for my SpWr slinger
the idea behind this SpWr was to have a "utilty/mobility ranged with stabbing chances".
So I developed it with ranged combat in mind, started with melee/throwing until I found a sling, then trained slings.
High stealth means I can choose my combats.
Blink and Passage Of G. help to get out of difficult situations.
Portal Projectile helps to kill summoners, smiters, and so on that created me a lot of trouble with any other character.
Spriggan speed helps to kite any non-ranged enemy.
"Spirit" on my amulet gives a boost on vitality.
First levels were very difficult (3 or 4 tentatives to kill Grinder...), but thanks to Shroud of G. and Sp speed I survived.
I found also an exciting rod of thunderbolt and training a bit of evocation made it a very useful "destroy that horde of ants/yaks/rats" button.
It's not my "deepest" point so far, but it's the single character with most survivability so I hope for the best at the moment.
Now to the questions:
1) how to develop?
Slings is at 19 at the moment, should I go till 23-24, or should I train something else?
Stealth at 9.5 is very good for tactical purposes but is not enough to stab, and by the way 7.3 in Short Blades is a bit low. Should I train them?
I am very happy with dodge/evasion (dodge at 12.6, robe to maximize evasion, ring of evasion -> EV=33 ), but should I invest more?
I didnt find any book till now, but anyway I didnt want to specialize much in magic.
2) Slings: what I do with the +9,-6 sling of Okawaru's Castigation {flame, rN+ Int+2}???
Oka gifted it to me but the -6 is quite... doh. Should I enchant it? Is it of any purpose I cannot think about?
Thank you!
