As usual, skipping requires having killed the boss at least once on that particular difficulty, though it appears to acknowledge previous kills.
The quest appears to give credit for previous kills, auto-completing without needing to defeat the Nexus-King again.
Despite this step forward though, the skip seems to repeat the same mistakes as Liberation of Undermine, taking players to the last two bosses, with no option to back clear. While Undermine was eventually hotfixed to allow players to skip to One-Armed Bandit instead, thereby opening up the entire raid to be completed in whatever order players wished, this is not yet the case with Manaforge Omega.
The most prized drops in Manaforge Omega are the Interloper's Boots from Soul Hunters, which groups will be farming for quite some time. In this light, a much more useful raid skip would have taken players just beyond Forgeweaver Araz, thereby allowing them multiple different ways to target specific raid bosses.
Plexus Sentinel -> Loom'ithar/Soulbinder -> Forgeweaver
Forgeweaver -> Loomi'thar/Soulbinder
Forgeweaver -> Soul Hunters/Fractillus -> Nexus-King -> Dimensius
Instead, groups that are still prioritizing Soul Hunters (which are virtually all of them) are required to progress through the raid to get there, at which point the skip is pointless, as they will have cleared to Nexus-King anyway. Even if they aren't explicitly after Soul Hunters, the current skip allows very little flexibility.
Activate the skip using the Manaforge Translocator found in front of the Plexus Sentinel, no trash or bosses required!
