Night Slingers are notable for the fact that they hurl poison potions, rather than javelins. These can deal very long-lasting damage on hell difficulty, and the habit of all types of slingers to run out of melee range makes these cats annoying for most melee characters.

Only '''Slingers '''appear as Guest Monsters, but they appear in three areas and have very different attacks and resistances in each, so are listed separately when necessary.

Revision as of 14:26, 23 April 2008

Slingers are Animals.

These spear throwing furries can be dangerous, in part due to a bug in the game that prevents throw javelins from ever striking any sort of player minion or merc. Characters accustomed to standing safely behind a wall of minions need to be careful when facing teh javelin kitteh.

Night Slingers are notable for the fact that they hurl poison potions, rather than javelins. These can deal very long-lasting damage on hell difficulty, and the habit of all types of slingers to run out of melee range makes these cats annoying for most melee characters.

Only Slingers appear as Guest Monsters, but they appear in three areas and have very different attacks and resistances in each, so are listed separately when necessary.

  • All values are listed by difficulty level: Normal / Nightmare / Hell.


Statistics

  • The TC/Rune drops listed are the highest Treasure Class/Rune Group a normal monster of that type can drop.
    • TC Champions and Bosses can sometimes drop from the next higher group.
    • The max TC/Rune possible may depend on which level a monster spawns in, and can be lower than the maximum. See the item calculators to ascertain precisely what a monster from a given area can drop.

Offense

Night Slingers throw poison potions; the other three kinds throw javelins. Javelins will hit characters, but not minions or mercs, so players must be careful not to position themselves directly behind their tanks.

  • Guest Monster Slingers always add elemental damage to their javelins.
