Viper Sting (hunter ability)

Viper Sting applies a poisonous sting that drain 4% mana over 8 sec (up to a maximum of 8% of the caster's maximum mana). Only one Sting per hunter can be active on any one target.

Viper Sting is a poison, and thus can be cleansed by druids, paladins, and shamans, as well as any mob that can cleanse poison. Rogues can dispel it with Cloak of Shadows, and dwarves with Stoneform.

Viper Sting is used against spell casters or any class with mana.

• Efficiency (hunter talent) (Marksmanship Talent): Reduces the mana cost of your Shots and Stings by 2% per rank (5 ranks total).
• Improved Stings (Marksmanship Talent): Increases the mana drained by your Viper Sting by 6% per rank (5 ranks total).
• Hawk Eye (hunter talent) (Survival Talent): Increases the range of your ranged weapon by 2 yards per rank (3 ranks total).

• When used with wound and deadly/mind numbing poison it's very annoying for a priest in PvP, especially if they're not specced holy.
