Actually. I don't even get to a point where I use Serpent Sting much. I guess that would be a situation where it's "balls to the wall", but I never reach that point. The poisons generally used are from Snake Trap, Wyvern Sting, and Scorpid Poison. I supposed Viper Sting should be added to my lil recipe to frustrate them even more, but hell.............I'm a brute. (haha)
