Some itty serpent sting taking off shadoweaving is a no no

Scorpid sting is far more powerful than 5% less damage taken, and this effect is magnified against dual wielding mobs.

Reason, take a tank with a total 55% avoidance, which is reasonable against 73 raid bosses. Without scorpid sting, the tank will be hit 45% of the time. With scorpid sting, the tank will be hit 40% of the time. 40/45= 88.9% damage compared to before before, meaning an 11% reduction in incoming damage.

Now a further example, take a tank with 55% avoidance against a dual wielding target which grants an additional 19% chance to miss. Without scorpid, the tank will be hit 26% of the time. With scorpid and insect swarm, the tank will be hit 19% of the time. 19/26=73.1% damage compared to before, meaning over a 25% reduction in incoming damage.
