Advantages & Disadvantages

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

Advantages

• Grants a chance for a "free" attack each round in melee, assuming that the stinger is off cooldown, and further poison damage beyond that.
• Synergizes extremely well with builds focused on making multiple attacks per round.
• Grants bonus reputation with arachnids, though not enough to make them neutral by default.

Disadvantages

• Prevents the player from wearing any back-slot equipment.
• Moderately expensive.
• Unlike the other two stinger types, has no defensive utility.
