Raid Skip for Coordinative Disabilities - Dragon Soul - Spine

So I attempted Spine of Deathwing to try to help others visualize why this encounter is so difficult for me and potentially other players. It took me 40 minutes to complete the encounter of Spine due to my disability.

To start the area of battle is very small. When a lot of mobs start showing up from the pools of magma on his back it tends to get difficult to see whats going on and for me a sort of panic sets in my mind making it difficult to function and kill the things I need to kill. I tend to tunnel vision at this point and fail the encounter by falling off due to the amount of mobs congregated around me or on the field. My mind just overloads and I tend to just tunnel vision and shut down the process of hand to eye coordination where I use my keyboard to move around and use attacks. It’s not like an anxiety panic attack but more an “Oh sht, oh sht, oh sh*t” feeling like you don’t know what to do in the spur of that moment despite knowing how the encounter is supposed to go.

It’s not that we don’t understand the mechanics or how the encounter is supposed to go, it’s literally the fact that so much is going on ontop of the threat of being thrown off if we stay too long on one side. It’s easily a harder encounter to manage when you have a coordinative or cognitive disability.
