Even with quiver of poison and poison vulnerability, sting seems a bit weak.  Maybe you could get more DPS from harper scout?

check my Tinkerhell comment. These builds got a huge buff with LD changes and the new RP and Mechanic tree. Pretty cool.

Sting damage varies widely with crit range.

Another thing throwers who want to use Sting suffer from is poison shuriken being restricted to loot gen. If there was even a lvl 24 spelltouched poison effect it could get interesting, and if there was a TF poison equivalent of touch of flames it would be a no-brainer.

More procs obviously. A 19-20 build only gets 10%. I'm not doubting that this is enough to fully stack a redname, but on the rest you're not always hitting everything that you're IPSing, and those stacks drop off 5 at a time. Sting is obviously much more valuable on a 15-20 build.

Another argument for Drow?

But you aren't going to be getting any decent stacks on trash mobs, much less things living more than 3 seconds.  And even at max stacks, it's only like ~33 dps (more with quiver of poison).  That doesn't sound like a whole lot, when you're talking about DPS in the thousands.

Roll Eyes

What are you going to spend those 2 AP on that adds more damage?

Harper tree, SA dice elsewhere potentially.

Honestly these builds soft spot was always boss DPS, not trash, so building for higher red name dps is probably a good call. For that reason, Sting would be advisable. If you don't have the quiver for easy Doubleshot slotting, I would recommend Sting + Quiver of poison and venomed blades.

It's 6 AP from the tier 2 core.
