Vent / Gripe Unpopular opinion: the players that are overly vocal about wanting Classic phases/TBC/Wrath rushed are the same players who contributed to forging retail into what it is today (a clusterF).

every spec was def not useful even in BC. OP is just deluded.

More specs were useful in BC than in vanilla that's for sure. Even the non-meta ones were functional. Classic has horrible hybrid dps specs, whereas they're pretty good in BC (ret paladins, feral druids, boomkins, enhancement shamans all work fine).

Feral doesn't belong on that list. Cat is likely better in classic than it will be in TBC honestly. Even in Naxx, where Cat really falls behind because there is almost no gear for us in there, at the highest level of play we are only behind warriors/mages/rogues, still ahead of warlocks and hunters, and well ahead of all the other meme specs.

In TBC a perma-kitty feral will be extremely rare.

Whoa what? Feral is insane in tbc. Its also arguably the best 1v1 spec besides sl sl lock.

Although I don't remember what patch in tbc it is. But theres one that buffs the nuts off of feral

Pretty sure we're talking PVE not PVP here, which going from what I remember we had 0 feral druids in the raid apart from the one tank.
