+== Advantages & Disadvantages ==
+{{Opinion}}
+=== Advantages ===
+* Grants a "free" attack each round in melee, assuming that the stinger is off cooldown.
+* Confusion venom effectively neutralizes a given enemy for its duration, allowing for easier victories or safer getaways.
+* Confused enemies are more susceptible to mental attacks.
+* 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 [[:Category:Back Equipment|back-slot equipment]].
+* Moderately expensive.
+* Confusion venom has a much shorter duration than the [[Confusion]] mutation at equivalent levels, though multiple stings can theoretically keep a creature confused for longer.
+* Confused creatures may wander away from combat, possibly making battles take longer.
