Ferocious Bite is the classic finishing move that causes damage per combo point and consumes up to 35 additional energy to increase damage by up to 100%, so with 5 additional energy it would do a seventh more damage. Damage is increased by your attack power. Using this ability when Spell nature crystalball [Omen of Clarity] procs will allow the druid to negate the 35 Energy cost, but the additional energy cost is still present. Ability ghoulfrenzy [Rip] may produce more damage under most conditions, including high armor on the target and the presence of a Ability druid mangle2 [Mangle] debuff. In PvE, this is thus only advisably once you already have a Ability ghoulfrenzy [Rip] and a Ability druid skinteeth [Savage Roar] up.

Table

Ferocious Bite is available at level 8 for 10c. At level 80, X=120, Y=260, Z=290.
