Here's some numbers I crunched about rip and FB scaling, hope someone finds it useful
As I laid in bed last night I pondered when and if ferocious bite would ever surpass rip in the setting of Raid DPS (other than on mobs that are bleed immune T.T).
Rip:
Equation Used: (1092 + AP*.24)*(1.1)*(1.3)
Ferocious Bite:
Equation Used: (1-DmgReduc)((951.5+AP*.1526)*(1.1)*(1.15) + (crit%)(951.5+AP*.1526)*(1.1)*(1.15)*(1.15))
Since crit% and DmgReduc are both variables, I tried some different values for both, hopefully this will give you an idea of when to Rip vs Bite
Remember the dmg reduction is after sunders etc.
Crit Dmg Reduc intersection(AP) Rip Bite
30% .15 negative always never
30% .10 negative always never
30% .05 negative always never
35% .15 negative always never
35% .10 negative always never
35% .05 490 above below
40% .15 negative always never
40% .10 223 above below
40% .05 1430 above below
45% .15 negative always never
45% .10 1035 above below
45% .05 2675 above below
So basically, unless you stack the crap outta crit such that you have 45% crit and less than 2675 AP, and you're fighting a mob that has less than 5% dmg reduction, rip will always be the superior finisher. This is also assuming you have Feral Agression (15% more FB dmg).
the math I'm not willing to do is to see if wasting part of mangles duration to keep rip ticking high and not having the energy to shred is worth it. Anywho, take it how you will.
Cheers.
