Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

It improves your effectiveness with thrown weapons, such as rocks and javelins (Slay+4).

Hurling is an ego found only on gloves that enhances your ability to fight with throwing weapons, reciving a +4 slaying bonus.

Desirability

Slaying bonuses are always desirable, but not all characters wind up using throwing weapons. Spellcasters would likely prefer gloves of strength or dexterity, while bow and crossbow wielders might find them unnecessary.

History

Hurling was introduced in 0.28, replacing the archery ego.
