Redditor Velinian went to the trouble of combing through the WoW World First Kills of the last few years. It was recorded when which spec was last present at a World First Kill of any boss of the respective raid. While you can't derive detailed insights of today's metagame from this now, it is interesting to see how the playstyles of the classes in WoW have been represented in the highest difficulty of WoW PvE over the years.

Just recently, the World First Race took place in the Sanctum of Domination. So many playstyles are freshly represented in the list. Noticeably, the two Druid specs Feral and the Druid's Tank spec have not been represented in a World First Kill in four to five years. Playstyles like the Feral are among the niche specs in World of Warcraft (buy now €14,99 )
. And then there's the survival hunter.Hunters are often featured in World First Kills, but the last time a survival hunter participated dates back to the second raid of Warlords of Draenor. Over 6 1/2 years ago now. WoW veterans will remember: back then, survival playstyle was still a ranged class. Since WoW Legion, the Hunter survival playstyle has been revamped. Although the playstyle is a lot of fun for some players, the spec has barely been represented in World of Warcraft raids since then. Even the buffs with patch 9.1 couldn't change that.
The issue of the survival hunter's problems has been addressed many times in the meantime. Most recently in our column: Meme-Spec Survival Hunter is not taken seriously by Blizzard.
