Ferocious Bite is a level 7 
[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%.
Tips and tactics
- 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.
