- For the hunter pets ability, see
[Sting].
Stings are nature-based poisons that are exclusive to hunters.
[Serpent Sting] - Causes Nature damage over 18 seconds.
[Chimaeral Sting] - PvP talent.
Stings were previously like warlock curses, with only one being applied at a time to a target by the hunter, and a variety of different effects which were useful in PvP.
