Patch changes

• Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): Removed.
  
• Patch 3.1.0 (2009-04-14): Redesigned: Stings the target, draining 4% of mana over 8 seconds (up to a maximum of 8% of the caster's maximum mana), and energizing the hunter equal to 300% of the amount drained. Only one Sting per hunter can be active on any one target.
  
• Patch 3.0.8 (2009-01-20): Reduced to one rank. Now drains 16% of the target's mana (up to 32% of the caster's maximum mana), rather than a flat amount based on rank.
  
• Patch 2.0.1 (2006-12-05): Viper Sting now has a 15 second cooldown.
  
• Patch 1.6.0 (2005-07-12): Spells that drain mana will now properly report the amount of mana gained in the combat log.
  
• Patch 1.4.0 (2005-04-19): This spell can no longer be used on warrior and rogue targets. In addition, while it can be used on a druid target at any time it will only drain mana when the druid is in caster form.
