I sling myself and am used to different styles but never practised this before. I also cannot connect it with the ancient images of slingers I've seen till now. Have you (maybe ancient) references for it, would be very interesting?
We have not made our own slinger animations. We simply reused RTW slinger animations for the timebeing. The work was hard enough getting a slinger into the game at all! But hopefully we'll see a change there as well in the future. However, once again, it isn't top priority for us at the moment.
