I was messing in creative trying to forge slings but I have no point of reference.
There is no “t6 damage threshold” like you would for hammers and such, or at least that I am aware of.
Nor is there a “range threshold” to call something a sniper.
But this is what I could come up with:
Would you consider this low, mid or high tier?
Diamond slingbow
lvl 10 devastating damage
lvl 4 range, this is +12 range
lvl 1 light flight, it usually ends at 2 though.
Hm i never forged slingbows as i fast noticed that i cant forge the slingbow i wanted. Its tough business.(also am no hunter anymore since ages). Maybe the damage determines what tier? Or the forge rank. I’m not going by rank so i dont know other forgers view of things. I think damage and range is good. But possibly not considered sniper because theres not enough light weight. Diamond has in general heavy projectiles that aint shooting very far so light weight is needed to get more range.
Edit: never saw someone speaking about boon points for reference ^^
wont let me edit,
math error lvl 4 is 600, not 1k.
========
I find total boon points very limiting for me.
6k is relatively easy enough = roughly a t6 hammer
7k happens occasionaly = an extra good t6 hammer
8k+ happens rarely
the other reason i posted total boon is because of the level 10 dmg. If i settle for say lvl 8, it frees an extra 2k worth of boon points, good enough for another lvl 7 boon
actually 7/7/7 is just 6k points… which looks way better than 10/5/1
thank you.
however, so far all i’ve managed to determine is for solo road runner hunting.
lvl 9 damage on a sapphire is all I need to 1 shot strong roadrunners and gives way for a level 7 range boon or +21 range, making it 47 range total, add in a light flight level 1 or 2 and I got a decent roadrunner sniper sling I think.
As for solo t3, 1 hit on strong mobs should be the threshold I suppose?
Yeah, there are to many variables and personal preferences to give every single bow combination for different mobs at different levels and different elements.
I’m all for the technical and being efficient but it’s something you have to figure out what works best for you. That’s why I gave you the link to the damage calculator.
You don’t aways need a bow to be Forged, that’s why there’s different types of Augments, Brews, Pies and Bombs to help you achieve what you want.
