While yes, this is unfortunate, I’d be inclined to ask you why you even care. Moving past the immediate affront of it, let’s look deeper.
You’ve played feral since the very start of Classic. Clearly you aren’t interested in being at the top of the dps meters, nor are you interested in meta classes. You’ve stuck with an arguably crippled class for the last 4 years on your classic journey. At any point along the way you could have swapped to something stronger and more reliable, yet you’ve chosen to stay with feral. So the question is… why?
I don’t want to speak to your reasons, but I can guarantee “because I like to play the 2nd worse ranked DPS class” isn’t on your list. So whatever your reasons for enjoying feral, that remains unchanged in response to rets getting buffed.
Like, it’s an unfortunate thing, but it really changes nothing for you other than to feel a little left out, which is human, but kind of irrelevant. Absolutely nothing changes bout your current situation as a result of this change.
Again, I say this as someone who loves feral. It was my jam in the original run from Vanilla to WotLK and I always wanted it to be strong, but at it’s core it’s the playstyle and rotation that I enjoy the most. I honestly liked it the best in TBC (powershifting is just a mechanic I enjoy), but even WotLK was a good time. Modern feral isn’t fun and I don’t play it at all… Classic feral is probably the most interesting DPS spec in the game imho.
