 [Glyph of Ferocious Bite] |
Ferocious Bite is the classic 
[Cat Form] druid finishing move that causes damage per combo point and consumes up to 25 additional energy to increase damage by up to 100%, so with 5 additional energy it would do a seventh more damage.
Ferocious Bite is available at level 6.
Improvements
Notes
- Damage is increased by attack power.
- Using this ability when
[Omen of Clarity] procs will negate the base 25 energy cost. However up to 25 energy (if available) will still be spent on the ability's additional effect.
[Rip] or 
[Rake] may produce more damage under most conditions, including high armor on the target.- In PvE, this is thus only advisable once you already have a [Rip] or [Rake], and a
[Savage Roar] up.
