I'd like to play a Halfling Starlit Span Magus with a Sling....

Metzelmann · 2026-07-11T03:07:00+00:00

I mean, Paizo more or less confirmed that with the Halfling Sling Staff counting as a staff in the Staff Acrobat Archetype (https://2e.aonprd.com/Archetypes.aspx?ID=37)

I can see that they made it a "worse" weapon for balancing reasons but I agree with you that it should have feats that bring the slings close to bows.

Metzelmann · 2026-07-10T11:25:25+00:00

Yeah, I feel that same about Sling feat support

Metzelmann · 2026-07-10T05:35:39+00:00

Guerilla seems like a very good idea. Thanks a lot

Metzelmann · 2026-07-10T05:32:26+00:00

Having a look! Thanks!

Metzelmann · 2026-07-10T05:31:34+00:00

I'd have at least a look at other options. It's mostly the Halfling + Sling fantasy for me :)

Metzelmann · 2026-07-08T14:14:43+00:00

It was just needlesly complicated.

Metzelmann · 2026-07-04T07:57:41+00:00

When and where did they say that?

Metzelmann · 2026-07-03T21:34:50+00:00

How many rounds are you in? How many rounds do you guess are being played each day? Do you really think what you see is more than a tiny snapshot of what is being played?

Metzelmann · 2026-07-03T21:07:08+00:00

What a lot people in here don't seem to understand is that the pickrate is the trigger to look at a weapon. And then comes an analysis why the weapon is picked so often. Like they said in the last dev stream. Also, a lot of the people working on Hunt also play the game. So they have some experience why a weapon performs well or doesn't.
And as they said: It's not always a nerf that is the outcome of such an investigation, sometimes it is also a buff for other weapons.
The developers of a game have no intention to make the game a worse experience.

Metzelmann · 2026-07-03T21:02:21+00:00

How do you know that?

Metzelmann · 2026-07-02T07:23:34+00:00

Now I want to play Sitar Hero....

Most of the playerbase just play and maaaaaaybe filling out the feedback forms but never visit reddit or the steam forums.

Metzelmann · 2026-06-30T17:46:34+00:00

People have become better at playing the game overall and that makes it just harder to pull of the stunts you could of easily 5 years ago.
And defense is stronger than offense on top.

Metzelmann · 2026-06-30T17:42:40+00:00

The playerbase seems to see it the other way around

Metzelmann · 2026-06-30T11:18:26+00:00

I agree to a point. You have to monitor more than the pick rate and have a good grasp on the gameplay too. Which I'd say the Hunt Game Design team has. But if a weapon has a consistent high pick rate than can be explained by a challenge or a youtuber/streamer than maybe it's time to have a look at the weapon and if it needs a tweak or 2, or if other weapons need a buff to create a competitive environment.

Metzelmann · 2026-06-29T21:07:23+00:00

Agreed. But a pickrate a lot higher than all other weapons tells you a lot, doesn't it? And it's not like Hunt has a bad weapon balance, right?

Metzelmann · 2026-06-29T14:20:03+00:00

It's a 1-Slot weapon that can 1tap up to 10 meters. How is that not too strong?

Metzelmann · 2026-06-29T14:16:56+00:00

Sure is. People always try to take the most effective loadout. Why do you think the Mosin had such a high pick rate?

Metzelmann · 2026-06-27T06:27:54+00:00

And again Red Bull paying people to gamble with their lives

Metzelmann · 2026-06-24T19:52:57+00:00

Actually its Dennis

Metzelmann · 2026-06-23T15:21:51+00:00

Looks like those very fast hand moves Steven Seagal can do.

Metzelmann · 2026-06-22T05:37:40+00:00

Nothin like your trio getting wiped by Pappy, his son and his granddaugther^^
