A notorious band of outlaws known as the Redbelly Wasps is seeking to establish a new hideout near the Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak.
Once the leader is attacked, he will summon nearby allies to his aid, including powerful conjurers skilled in the arts of healing. Defeating these allies before engaging their leader will greatly increase your chance of success.— In-game description
Stinging Back is a level 20 guildhest introduced in patch 2.0. It intends to teach basic dungeon mechanics.
Objective
Fight your way to the dungeon and slay the bandit leader!
Redbelly lookouts will approach at the sign of anything suspicious, and call for help when overmatched. Try to defeat the outlaws in pairs or small groups instead of engaging the whole band at once. Redbelly chanters are skilled in the art of conjury, and will tend to the wounds of their injured companions. Focus your efforts on ridding the Redbelly ranks of these members to ensure the operation ends quickly.

Guide
In this guildhest, players will encounter groups of mobs that are standing still and groups of mobs that are roaming around. Enemies that appear are Redbelly Stinger, Redbelly Sharpeye, Redbelly Lookout and Redbelly Chanter.
Wait for the patrolling Redbellies to pass by before engaging the static Redbellies. Be sure to pull static packs away from the patrolling ones. When fighting the groups of Redbelly outlaws, kill or sleep the Redbelly Chanters that are wearing hats and holding staffs as soon as possible - they are healers capable of healing the other Redbellies. However, note that some of the Chanters are actually wearing hoods and holding swords & shields - these ones are tanks and cannot heal, so they should be lower-priority targets.
Redbelly Swarmpoint is the end boss of the guildhest. Periodically, he will summon adds in the forms of archers and healers. Kill the adds as soon as possible, especially the Chanter healers. If the adds are left alive, your party will face groups of healers and archers. Switch your damage dealers back to Swarmpoint, whenever you clear a wave of adds.
If the Redbelly Swarmpoint is less than 10% in health, destroy any Redbelly Chanters that spawn but it is okay ignore the rest of the smaller mobs.
