It’s just so damn tedious. Please just make the elementals spawn with the Blast buff. It’s such an annoying fight.

It is.
It will not change.
At least, it’s soloable.
I only need the rare dragon mount on last boss: the spine is an annoyance that make me often skip a farming week…

Yeah old bosses only get changed if they can’t be soloed. For example Mythic HFC first boss. Mythic Eonar will eventually get changed because it can’t be soloed, but Mythic Argus won’t because he can be soloed. Stuff like that. Shivarra Coven is up for debate though.
Spine of Deathwing isn’t even that tedious imo. I just kill all the tentacles, sit in one of the wounds and go get something to eat or whatever while Deathwing rolls to his hearts content. Then when I get back I likey have had enough blood spawn to just about power through the whole fight.
Tedious or not it’s very soloable, so don’t expect any changes whatsoever.
Mind you, there is an anomaly with the green dragon fight in ICC. Rather than fix it so people with no heals can do it, they just opened the gate so you can walk right on past. Pretty sure you can still heal her, but kinda requires prep with bandaids etc

I died on it 4 times last night. I don’t know why I don’t just stand there in tendrils til enough bloods spawn and just run them over. I’ll never learn.
Just kill 3 tentacles (killing the last one will just respawn another), go into one of the empty holes on his back and wait until you get enough bloods. As long as you stay in an empty hole you won’t get knocked off when he spins.
When it is time to kill the bloods on top of the “boss”, just run from side to side. If you are soloing, you get 10 seconds before he spins and he resets the timer when you go from left to right and visa versa. Rinse and Repeat 2 more times and you win.
It is a long fight, but it isn’t tedious unless you intentionally make it tedious.
Just use the heart of Azeroth and have crucible of flame as your major essence 4head. That is what I do now. Previously I used the Lazor matrix azerite power you got from Uldir and that was tedious. Mainly on heroic where she loses health over time.
Note that the whole “you can skip Dreamwalker” came long before BFA and Shadowlands. So it wasn’t a recent change.
I almost cried when I finally got both mounts off deathwing, never having to do spine again might be the greatest feeling wow can provide

It’s really easy man. Just slide to the right slide to the left.

Summary
Closing Out Thread
For whatever reason, this fight frustrates the F out of me. So i stopped trying a few years ago. I just stop after the the Tauren boss.
I would do exactly what people say to do and the elemental wouldnt go critical. Eventually id just say F it and hearth out

I want to know how it was when it was current content. Because I cannot imagine doing this with 25 people lol its SUCH an obnoxious mechanic
As I lay dead watching my warrior friend solo it because I died 3 times in shame, I noticed he actually moves his head and his talking is animated which is neat because players won’t see it

because it’s so easy?
The fact even in 2023 this raid fight has not had a skip added just shows me how much of a lazy/uncaring company blizzard is. Think real hard at all the other skips for raids they have added over the years some that are tied to a quest and others that just got put in for next to no reason. Prime example in my opinion of a completely useless skip was the bossin ICC the one you needed to heal.I found that being given treatment over Spine was just uncalled for and btw started my dislike of the Decvelopement team.(Ion Hazzikostus and co are utterly incompetent don’t even try to argue with me on this its FACT.)If anyone out there can give me a reasonable argument as to why it is not deserving of a skip,(They already have an NPC who you need to talk to to start the enocunter just code in another dialogue option.I.) I implore you to tell me. I guarantee you if you could see the completion rate for that raid Post cataclysm I 100% guarantee you its the lowest completed raid in the games history even lower than Ruby Sanctum. On top of that the Transmog from the last boss is one of the more desireable reasons to get to the end besides the mounts. then you have all the rogues out there Who like me are sitting on half complete Legendary daggers due to this Failure of a Dev team pandering to current crop of Sheeple/Meta slaves and ignoring the Core player base, (which has only been a thing since Ion and Co took the reigns).I look forward to feedback/criticism

so uhm to be fair…how would they enable a skip for the last fight in the raid? you have to fight SOMETHING. if the boss doesnt die…the game can’t register you completed the raid.

No, spine is the 2nd to last. The last boss is the head of deathwing with tentacles and 4 platforms.

yeah its part of the two part deathwing encounter and is probably tied to how the raid is coded. thus trying to skip the fight would be problematic. would it not?
