Well as the title says, im confused. My ferocious Bite says that for 5 combo points it should deal 340 - 358 damage. However whenever i build up 5 Combo Points and use it, it only ever deals 250 - 280. It does the same if i use it on 4 combo points. Its as if its "locked" at 3 combo points (as 3 combo points is meant to do 250 - 280). Ive used it on like 50 enemies and its the same on each one.

Enemies have armour and damage mitigation thingies too. Don't expect to do the max damage available until you are at 80 and well geared.

FB numbers will be slightly mitigated by armor. This is ~24% dmg reduction thorough armor( different enemies have different levels of armor but in this case it is 24%).
I bet if you tried to used a 3 CP FB you will get numbers in the 190 - 213 range.

I have often found that sreaming "BOOOOOOOOOOM" at my computer screen causes FB to hit harder.
Try that.
Where paladin forums have Quest, druid forums have Foleynauts, lawl.
Works wonders!
edit:
not trying to insult you, are you using the correct rank of the attack?
Hahahahah ;D gold

just in case...but not trying to insult you, are you using the correct rank of the attack? i know i used to forget to switch them after lvlingNot to insult you, but thats impossible now. Whenever you upgrade you automatically use the latest rank.

Well, you're both kind of off. Cat and Bear abilities are, um, they're "abilities". Just like warriors, you can't downrank them.

I'd still check it. Weirder things have happened. Bar mods and some addons can cause this effect as well as off-spec issues.

If you have dual spec, only the spec you are in gets its spells updated when you buy them. So if you've been leveling as resto healing and then switch to feral, you could very well be using a lower rank.
I've noticed for cat/bear/warrior this dual spec bug doesn't technically affect them. When you buy the ability on your other spec, it actually deletes them from your other spec's action bar, forcing you to drag it back from your spellbook.

Fair enough I've only ever seen what i mentioned on a guildy preist healer and another offspec boomkin in my guild.

Ferocious bite has 8 ranks, swipe also has 8, rip has 9, and so on. The only rank-less abilities I can think of off the top of my head are berzerk and savage roar.
Unless you're trying to say something else, and I'm just failing to understand.
Back in the old days, whenever you bought new spells, you had to manually replace them on your action bars. The first change to this policy came for warriors, rogues, cats, and bears on their physical abilities. Even though they had ranks, they automatically upgraded on your bars, and you couldn't select lower ranks, even if you wanted to.
It was shortly after that where every spell/ability auto-upgraded on your bars. With the dual spec change, now these abilities that don't downrank totally disappear off your bar on the spec you're not using at the time of skill purchase. So they still behave differently.
