Notes
- This is a talent learned spell.
- According to outdated experiments, the Clearcasting state will proc about twice a minute, regardless of form and weapon speed. [1]
- If Ferocious Bite is used by a cat-form druid in the clearcasting state, all of the druids energy will be used up, just like it is when the druid is not in a clearcasting state. The is because only the energy cost of casting ferocious bite (35 energy) is negated by clearcasting, and the conversion of all extra energy to damage consumes all remaining energy. This often confuses players who expect the cast to be "free" just like other cat form abilities during clearcasting.
Past changes
At the time of release, Omen of Clarity was a talent available in the balance tree which applied a weapon buff to the druid's melee weapon. The clearcasting state gave mana-free spells only (not rage or energy-free feral abilities) and could only be triggered by the druid meleeing in caster form (not by attacks in bear or cat form, and moonkin form did not yet exist).
The original balance tree was exceptionally unpopular among druids, and omen of clarity with its requirement for significant caster-form melee was an obscure talent in that tree.
Patch 1.8 radically changed the talent nearly to its current form by:
- Making it a buff on the character instead of the weapon.
- Allowing it a chance to proc on all melee attacks, including those made in feral forms.
- Expanding clearcasting to give free feral abilities, as well as free spells.
This transitioned an obscure balance spell into a very potent feral combat spell.
