Omen of Clarity - Kitty proc infoFollow

So after months of looking at what I thought was an error with OOC in Kitty form, I submitted a request for info and here are the details I learned from a GM. I will start from the beginning....

When in kitty form I usually build up to 3 or 5 combo points before I use a finishing move. When I maxed out all 5 combo bars, and then waited for an OOC proc, I would hit either of my finishing moves and all of my energy and the OOC would disappear. I assumed that OOC would cover all of my energy consumption and I would be left with a full energy bar to continue my attacks.

Apparently the finishing moves in Kitty will use all extra energy and count it towards extra damage. So all energy + the OOC proc are turned in to extra damage. I was not told, or could not find out, how much energy a OOC proc equates to but I would assume it would be the equal to the entire amount of energy currently available or the entire bar. Anyone who can clarify how much energy a OOC proc equals I would be interested.

So from now if the mob has over 35% health I will wait with a full 5 combo points until I get an OOC proc for extra damage, but if the mob falls under 35% I dont wait. With the extra proc I can usually one shot mobs in the 35% health range which is more damage than I was dealing before, especially for a Balance druid in Kitty form.

I hope this helps some people and prevents some othe GM requests. Anyone who knows more about the OOC Proc=Energy amount I would be happy to hear it.

Happy Hunting,

Translation:

When using Ferocious Bite, Omen of Clarity will reduce the cost of the ability from 35 energy to 0 energy. However, the Execute-like part of Ferocious Bite will still trigger, draining all your energy and converting it to extra damage.

Other finishing moves (Rip and Maim) are affected normally by Omen of Clarity procs. Omen of Clarity works exactly like the description says, the cost of your next offensive ability is reduced to 0 Rage/0 Energy/0 mana.

OOC makes the FB free, thus the 35 energy it would have cost gets converted to damage just as any other leftover energy would have. This is such a tiny amount that it is basically a waste of the OoC proc. You would be much better hitting shred again then FB after.

Or better still, don't use FB at all - RIP for the win!
