  Code:

   (Okawaru gifted it to you on level 3 of the Vaults)   
   
   It turns projectiles fired from it into bolts of frost.
   
   It protects you from cold.

so i got my dream weapon from okawaru. Will this weapon carry me to a five runer or hell?

or more general question: is sling good enough to kill baddies in hell

Re: Ha slinger advice needed

Frost brand is problematic on ranged weapons because it turns the entire attack into an elemental attack. This is very good against things with rC-, since it means you deal double damage (!!), and just fine against things without cold resist, but against things with even just rC+ you deal half damage, and no damage at all to things that are cold-immune. You can un-brand the attack by using branded ammo (steel, poison, flame) but if you run out of branded ammo you're in trouble. Also it prevents you from using flaming ammo on things with rF- (like ice fiends). So probably you also want to find another sling and vorpalise + enchant that one.

Punk is still quite good. I don't have experience with slings in extended though.

Yes, however, you should enchant and wield this instead:
  Code:
b - a +4,+5 sling of velocity
Velocity stacks with ammo brands, frost just gets overridden (or canceled by flame), so a well-enchanted sling of velocity is better than Punk.

Also, I would drop
  Code:
 V - a -1 shield (worn)
, wear a buckler instead, and turn shields off and never turn it on again. Then you can spend experience on something actually useful instead, like getting regeneration to a better success rate than 2%.

He deleted his old account and made a new one to start fresh, his old account was a blue name, his new one is not(and probably never will be).

And yes, he is very cruel with his advice at times, but hey, with a game like this, not having a big ego when you are good is nearly unprecedented.

Re: Ha slinger advice needed

I think there'd be some way, with ugly database hackery, to reunite duvessa and minmay. I think duvessa would be consumed in the process, but such things happen in dark necromantic acts.

Or switch the new minmay's author_id to be 62.

Is there any Shield penalty with sling (I mean for dealy and min delay, like for bows or crossbows...) ?

Slings are one-handed and don't get a penalty like crossbows or bows.

Looks like the problem with the shield on this character is the penalty to spell success.
