[Sting].
Stings are nature-based poisons that are exclusive to hunters. Like warlock curses, each sting has a different function, and many of them are useful in PvP.
[Scorpid Sting] - Reduces the target's physical critical strike chance by 50% for 8 sec.
[Serpent Sting] - Causes Nature damage over 15 seconds.
[Spider Sting] - Stings the target with potent spider venom for 5 sec, causing their next offensive spell cast to silence them for 4 sec.- [Viper Sting] - Reduces the target's healing done by 30% for 6 sec. Viper Sting is removed if the target casts a non-instant cast healing spell.
- [Wyvern Sting] - Puts the target to sleep, incapacitating them for 30 sec. Damage will cancel the effect.

The following stings were removed in patch 4.0.1:
