Please allow us to skip RP in Dragon Soul raid

farming Blazing Drake is such a grueling task due to that stupid RP, not to mention encounters with tons of waiting for adds.

1 - skip RP, 2 - hasten the coming of adds with something like “we are the horde/alliance, we will take them all at once” idk

waiting is not a challenge - this is an inconvenience.

I don’t say “nerf spine” because I’m alright with that one mini game but everything else about that raid just tilts me

Fully agree, thats reason i never get the Awake the Drake Achievement done. RP its annoying specially before ultraxion Deathwing take a lap tralala blablöa bla dragon adds then Deathwing takes another lap then blablaha, then wait for ultraxion slowly flies up and babbling, then kill… ARGH not good for my sanity :frowning:

Don’t mind the RP that much. Spine of Death Wing tough, wish we could skip that.

I support this too!

Blazing Drake is the last one I need for my Emerald Drake and I have been here so many times that I absolutely loathe this raid and it’s rp (+ spine encounter) now.

I farsaw your coming, of course. The threads of fate that led you to this place. Your desperate attempt to stop the legion… Oh wait that’s a different annoying unskippable RP mount farm boss.

I know all of Elisande lines from farming Nighthold to much…

Skipping RP more in general would be nice, just give skip options when you talk to NPCs.

Yes, please

I kinda disagree with spine encounter nerf calls, though. Doing something mildly challenging should be required to get rewards.
What we all really hate is the waiting game. For some reason instead of farming or playing we are waiting, amirite

I agree too. Luckily I’ve got all of the mounts now but I ran it about 130 times and it’s so frustrating that you can’t skip the annoying rp. I’m getting cold sweats reminiscing about it now :frowning:

I think I can recite that RP.

I also do it in the characters voices in my mind for variety.

If people are failing on that they are doing something very very VERY wrong and no amount of nerfing or rp skipping will fix it.

Dont even need too tell me about this i did 249 runs for ultraxxion mount(i hate green jesus speech to this day) but at least got mogs from there for all classes so i dont need to go there again ever

Never finished spîne Even if i’m doing good i always fall off Wish we could just skip it

I still don’t have that one either, the only one I need for Awake the Drakes.
From top of Wyrmrest to the Spine is so slow. I usually alt-tab out and read the forums during those fights.
They help a lot by activating the portal to The Eye of Eternity straight away. Activate Thrall once you return from there. Those would take almost no work.
Speeding up the mobs in the Ultraxion and Airship fights might be trickier but should be doable somehow.

Took me a while to figure it out.
Some classes are better than others. I do it on my rogue as the blade flurry is easy to kill the blobs when you’ve gathered up enough. Other classes have clunkier AoE which requires so much faff that while trying to do it you end up falling off. My hunter was just too fiddley for me to do spine so gave up and went back to my rogue.

what? you don’t need AOE on spine. You need to avoid AOE and cleave. I just kill blobs with ice lance 1 by 1 on my mage lol. What kind of AoE do you need XD

I’d be very happy about doing spine and the following battle only, it would be a similar skip advantage to the raids that have them in later expansions :slight_smile:

If anything, a skip to Ultraxion right from the beginning would be awesome.

I think dragon soul is not even so bad that it needs skip. In perfect world there would be npc in old raids that just teleports you to boss that you want to do. Raid that needs more skip than dragon soul is SoO.
