Scorpid Sting is a hunter ability.

Tips and tactics

  • Scorpid Sting does not stack. If there are multiple hunters in the group or raid, designate one to use Scorpid Sting when appropriate. Additionally, it does not stack the hit reduction effect from [Insect Swarm].
  • Scorpid Sting doesn't cause damage, and so won't break various crowd control effects (like [Freezing Trap] or [Polymorph]). Since only one sting can be active at a time, this can be useful for removing [Serpent Sting].

Patch changes

  • Cata-Logo-Small.png Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): Removed.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small.png Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Now reduces the target's chance to hit by 3% (down from 5%). Tooltip now indicates this only applies to melee and ranged attacks. No longer stacks with similar debuffs.
  • Bc icon.gif Patch 2.0.1 (2006-12-05): Redesigned. Now reduces the target's chance to hit by 5% for 20 seconds. Now only has one rank.
    Old: Stings the target, reducing Strength and Agility for 20 sec.
  • WoW Icon update.png Patch 1.4.0 (2005-04-19): Fixed a bug where it was not considered a poison. It can now be removed by poison curing effects.
