Anyone think an item like this has a place?

Ah, well that answers that :-)

How about this: It's a one-shot artifact. Once it's used, it's gone until it's forged again by someone. I believe it would be the only one in the whole game. I wonder what gems would be appropriate for it. I was thinking something other than Death, Blood or Astral, since those paths already give lots of assassination capabilities. I was thinking either Air or Nature, or possibly a little bit of all the elements combined.

Actually your weapon idea is even hardcore to be added into a mod. I mean this weapon is like using a nuclear bomb to kill a single person.

Also there should be a chance that the weapon just won't hit.

100 precision makes missing pretty rare, barring Air Shield.

Of course, there's always the "Jotun Sling of Accuracy", dam 3+str and Prec 5... a boulder ammo graphics already exist!

Maybe AOE 1 and fire rate 1/turn? that'd be a neat artifact... E2A2 maybe? Powerfull with heroic strength...

Its not the item itself, its how it can be stacked. The original numbers you had might not have been bad if they were achievable by pairing this item with a strength item and an aim-boosting item, AND if it still wouldnt be absolute if the other guy had a shield item and an armor item.
See what I mean?

Balancing is so hard to do.
