How about a design your own slingbow system:
Base damage dependent on metal used.
Speed and damage based on size, small faster, large slow higher damage, requires more strength to use.
2 or 3 Attachments made of gems to add characteristics of rapid fire, charging, toxic, longer range…

Some of the things you mention exist in-game.
Creating requirements to use certain slingbows ( like minimum level of attribute needed) sounds interesting. But then again we already have mastery system. It’s not a requirement to use any slingbow, but needed to use special attributes (rapid fire, charging) and to produce maximum possible result when shooting (damage dealt and range).

Looking through the placeholder names on the games files, it looks like we’ll be getting “augments” for the slingbows too…
- Extra Damage Slingbow Augment
- Faster Projectile Slingbow Augment
- Increased Critical Slingbow Augment
- Increased Speed Slingbow Augment
- More Durable Slingbow Augment
Each of those has 3 levels as well, so I would expect different materials or possibly mastery to use them.

Mega Supa Doopa Centra Forge coming sometime in future… buffs all over the place

Yeah, I think all material specific characteristics will go once the forge is implemented. Pretty sure @james mentioned this somewhere

Tools and Weapons will be refactored when the Centraforge 
comes online.
The general idea is that the equipment material will define part of the base performance, and then the forging process will enhanced additional abilities (or defects).
We realised that linking abilities directly with gem types meant, alongside the gem strength / weakness relationships, that you were always forced to use a particular style of weapon against certain elemental creatures. Which wasn’t desired.
With the forge you’ll be able to experiment with the crafting of your own equipment features and customisations. This is totally open ended and will allow us to add more abilities in the future without needing to reboot the equipment already in the game.
