Any way to skip Spine of DW?

When you get to the top of Wyrmest you should use portal to get down and ride drake to the top again. Its faster that way as it skips RP

I’ve just been spoilt by the boss skips of WOD I suppose.

ye wod onwards are excellent for mount farming.
the quest makes sure you collect most of the transmog you want, then you can just keep killing last boss.

I think the longest raid is SOO though. 14 bosses, lots of walking, and Galakras :confused: Holy crap galakras, i hate that one. More than spine in fact. Its way worse than spine.

I still need to go back to SOO for the final Juggernaut colour for my hunter pet.

I need to unequip my HoA and anything with a proc to do that fight. Its not hard its just annoying, especially when i forget to unequip and random infernals just crash down and kill everything before its time to do so.

i usually park my toon in a pool and afk for a while until there are enough blobs.

I think this is one of the best tips and what a lot of people forget :slight_smile: Taking off anything that has random procs will help, the rest is just practice and eventually spine is no longer a concern :slight_smile:

I will say though after 7 months of running this I STILL HATE DS AND NEVER, EVER WANT TO RUN IT AGAIN :wink:

I feel your pain, that fight is ten times harder now because everything just dies on you too easily :laughing:

It’s a very annoying fight. That, coupled with all the RP stuff going on, made me utterly hate this raid. It’s not hard. It’s just horribly annoying and tedious.

I can’t even force myself to get the legendary daggers from it on my rogue. I can’t stomach that raid anymore. It’s one of the worst raids they ever made.

It’s almost the final step to get the rogue’s legendary daggers: really not a easy task to do, but after almost done all the quests you can’t give up at the Spine. Btw need me a countless of death to pass it ( in 25men raid difficulty).

I got to the final quest for the clusters in 2014. I’ve yet to complete it.

You lazy Tauren! :smile:

I am amazed that people still find this a problem. This is not me being elitist, since I certainly have no right to be. It used to be harder. Maybe people don’t realise it has been nerfed to the ground.

It is an amazingly easy fight. Annoying, yes. But easy.

Reading down at what people are having problems with,

  • you do, of course, have to unequip or untalent anything that will proc or do AoE damage you don’t intend. That’s fine. At 120, you could do this naked.

  • Drop down, kill the two tentacles at the back, and one at the front. Run to the pit you just made at the front.

  • Go get a cup of coffee.

  • When you come back, check if 10 blobs have spawned. They should have, if you filtered your coffee correctly.

  • Kill the blobs.

  • Kill the other front tentacle, and run left and right while the abomination hoovers up the blobs.

  • When the Blob goes Nuclear, Kill the abomination.

  • The carapace lifts. Kill the Burning Tendon.

  • Run forward, kill one of the new front tentacles.

  • Sit in the pit it left.

  • Go get a cup of coffee.

Repeat until done.

Too much caffeine intake isn’t healthy, three cups of coffee in such a short time? :wink:

Edit: counts on fingers how many cups of coffee I have had today, nvm please ignore everything I said about caffeine intake :rofl:

I don’t agree. Maybe the 10 men raid Spine is much easy to do.

Or, much likely, I’m a bad player and don’t understand well the mechanic of the encounter. :blush:

But at the end I did it, and this is what matter :smile:

Maybe not that you’re a bad player, but perhaps overthinking it, or remembering how it used to be.

You do have to get the knack, which mostly consists of making sure your coffee filter is clean, and has no bitter oils remaining. :slight_smile:

If you feel rushed, you will probably do something silly like running off the sides (or, as I did the first time I DHed it, Fel Rushed off the side. :smiley: )

Indeed! First attempts I run left/right like an headless chicken, with the consequences you can imagine. :sweat_smile:

BTW, is anyone in this thread wants help through it, let me know. Since the nerfs, you can solo it even with someone else sitting in a pit througout. I still haven’t got Experiment 12-B, and gave up on it for a long time, so the memory of the long, long RP has faded, and I don’t mind a run.

I still miss the flighship deck encounter in this raid, to get the achievement ‘Glory of’.

If you organize something about this raid, please let me know :hugs:

Sure. That one’s a bit fiddly, AFAIR. I think I did it Boomkin, for the ranged instants. (If I’m thinking of the right one.)
