Prophet Skitra Loot GuideProphet Skitra Quick Tips

Stack up on one side of the boss and let Иссечение души debuffs expire on the other.

Stay away from Shredded Psyche adds when they cast Вспышка больного рассудка. Kill them as soon as possible after this cast ends.

Tanks should taunt off of one another when their Удар теней debuff times out (usually around 4-6 stacks).

Try and enter phase two with no Shredded Psyche adds alive.

Crowd control Образ отпущения and stay out of their Поток образов aura. You can kill them 30 seconds after they spawn (Heroic Only).

Speak with players with a different debuff type to identify which boss illusion is shared between you.

Kill this boss illusion as soon as possible to reduce the amount of Темный ритуал stacks you gain.

Stack near the add you are killing as to allow healers to efficiently heal the incoming raid damage from Иллюзорная стрела.

Make sure you kill the correct illusion, as otherwise, the raid takes large damage from Сотрясение разума.

Prophet Skitra Phase OneУдар тенейУдар теней

This deals a burst of shadow damage and increases shadow damage taken by 15% for 5 seconds to the tank and two other random players.

Tanks should taunt off of one another each time their debuff drops, usually around the 4-6 stack mark.

Healers need to be aware that two random players will also be taking burst damage throughout the phase and will require spot healing.

Иссечение душиИссечение души

After this 5-second long debuff expires, a Shredded Psyche add will spawn at the location of the debuffed player.

This add initially casts Вспышка больного рассудка. After this 5-second long cast completes, it deals a large burst of shadow damage to the entire raid. This damage falls off with distance.

After the Вспышка больного рассудка, the add will channel Психогенные отзвуки until it is killed, which deals moderate shadow damage every 1.5 seconds.

The player afflicted with the Иссечение души debuff should move to the opposite side of the boss, roughly 20 yards from the raid stack point.

Once the add has spawned, all players should return to the raid stack point to ensure that they do not take too much damage from the Вспышка больного рассудка cast.

DPS should immediately swap to the add and kill it off, although melee DPS should wait until after the Вспышка больного рассудка has ended.

The sooner the add dies the better, not just to help healers but also to make sure that only one add is active at any given time.

If the boss isn't within cleave range of the add, it should be moved to keep outgoing boss damage high.

This should take place in the middle of the bosses long encounter space, as to help with positioning once phase two begins.

Stack up on one side and spawn the adds on the other!

Ideally the group would not transition into phase two with a Shredded Psyche add active, as this can slow down how quickly the group can get out of phase two.

Prophet Skitra Phase TwoИллюзорная проекцияИллюзорная проекция

This gives half the raid one a red debuff (Затуманенный разум), and the other half a blue debuff (Искаженный разум).

The red half of the raid will see 4 illusions of Prophet Skitra around the edges of the encounter space.

The blue half of the raid will see 4 different illusions of Prophet Skitra around the edges of the encounter space, in different locations to what the red half sees.

The red half and blue half will both have a single illusion that occupies the same place. This is the illusion that needs to be killed to end the phase.

The raid leader should put raid markers next to each of the illusion locations that they can see.

They should then ask a player of the opposite debuff type to tell them which of the markers has an enemy next to it.

As long as the raid leader has asked somebody of the opposite debuff type, then this will be the illusion you need to kill.

Once the add has been killed and the phase has ended, the raid leader should remove all world markers ready for the next phase two.

These are the illusions the Затуманенный разум
debuffs can see.

These are the illusions the Искаженный разум
debuffs can see.

The white-outlined illusion is present for both teams! Kill that one!

Иллюзорная стрела

This just deals a burst of shadow damage to random players.

The raid should try and remain stacked up during this phase to allow healers to efficiently AoE heal through the incoming damage.

Aside from position, all of the illusions are identical.

Темный ритуалТемный ритуал

This increases shadow damage taken by 2% and lasts until the phase ends.

This encourages the raid to leave the phase as soon as possible, as having high Темный ритуал stacks can lead heavy raid damage towards the end of any given phase two.

Сотрясение разумаСотрясение разума

This will likely wipe you, as not only do you take a large burst of damage, but you have also wasted a lot of time in this phase which has left a large amount of Темный ритуал stacks on you.

Strategy NotesИллюзорная проекция1) The debuff that you are given is random each time you enter phase two.

The only set patterns to this is that tanks are always given opposite debuffs and the boss attempts to split the healers between debuff groups evenly.

This makes tank players good candidates for calling which illusion is the actual boss, as the two tanks can always talk to each other and work it out as they'll be in different teams.

2) Target Markers are not shared between the different debuffs.

As an example: The red side could mark all 5 of their illusions and the blue side would not see any target markers appear on their screen.

This is intended to prevent you from immediately finding the Illusion through a marking weakaura.

3) Debuffs applied to the correct illusion will show on target frames for both groups.

This potentially allows one player with an instant cast debuff spell (such as Moonfire) to quickly apply them to all of the illusions they can see.

The opposite team can then quickly look through their illusions to find the one that is debuffed.

This would require restraint from the rest of the group, as any additional debuff applications would make it more difficult to find the illusion.

4) There isn't a foolproof, reliable weakaura or addon that identifies the correct illusion. Not one that is publicly available at least.

There are people that are working on a weakaura or addon to counter this mechanic, it may very well be available already.

If addon solution to this mechanic that works 100% of the time is found, this section of the guide will be updated with links and information for it.

The fight then repeats, with the boss entering phase two each time it loses 20% health.

Healers will want to ensure that they have healing cooldowns available for subsequent phase twos, as the raid will be taking a large amount of damage due to the Темный ритуал stacks they have accumulated throughout the fight.

Prophet Skitra Heroic DifficultyОбраз отпущенияОбраз отпущения

This spawns a wall of Image of Absolution adds that runs the entire length of the encounter space.

These adds have 1hp, however, they are immune to all damage taken for 30 seconds due to their Intangible Illusion passive.

Each add has a Поток образов zone around them which deals high shadow damage every second to any player that stands within it.

The adds need to be crowd controlled to prevent them from moving whilst the raid waits out their Intangible Illusion damage immunity.

After the 30 seconds have passed, the adds can simply be killed via any small amount of damage.

Crowd control and stay away from the Образ отпущения!

One simple Mass Entangling Roots centered on the correct add can easily keep the raid safe. Once the root ends, the adds can be killed.

All other adds can be left alone as they harmlessly walk side to side in the room away from the stacked raid team.

All forms of crowd control that can hit Elementals or Aberrations will work.

Good spells to remove a large amount of image adds that you may want to have a player take are spells such as Halo or Barrage.

These adds should be crowd controlled and then killed if they are in the path towards the correct Иллюзорная проекция.

Темный ритуалТемный ритуал

This causes the raid to take heavily increased raid damage towards the end of the encounter, especially from Иллюзорная стрела, Вспышка больного рассудка and Психогенные отзвуки.

This encourages the raid to complete each phase two as quickly as possible and healers want to have large raid cooldowns available towards the end of the encounter when Темный ритуал stacks are at their highest.

Prophet Skitra Mythic DifficultyMythic Prophet Skitra Guide

At the beginning of the encounter every player in the raid will be affected by either Затуманенный разум or Искаженный разум. These debuffs will determine which mechanics are visible to each player. The tanks will always have opposite debuffs, and healers will also be split in half, if there is an even number. These two debuffs require the raid to coordinate and communicate to deal with mechanics that are not visible to everyone.

The debuffs will periodically change throughout the fight, but players could have the same debuff for the entirety of the encounter.

Mythic Prophet Skitra Guide

Затуманенный разум

A Shredded Psyche add that spawns from a Искаженный разум player can only be seen, damaged or interacted with by players with Искаженный разум.

The same goes for Затуманенный разум adds, they can only be seen, interacted with and damaged by Затуманенный разум players.

The adds will continue to damage all players with their Вспышка больного рассудка and Психогенные отзвуки abilities.

The mechanic should be dealt with the same way as other difficulties, players just need to be aware of where the Shredded Psyche add is so that they are not one-shot by its outburst.

Switching to adds and killing them must also be emphasized, as there are far fewer players hitting any given add due to this change.

Образ отпущенияИскаженный разумЗатуманенный разум

These images, much like the Shredded Psyche add, can only be seen, interacted with or damaged by players of the same debuff.

This forces players to communicate as to where the wall of adds is at any given time, especially during raid movement during phase two, as one half of the raid can easily wander into an add and die to it without even seeing it.

All players that actually see the images should do what they can to assist with crowd control, as you cannot guarantee that you will have a druid with Mass Entangling Roots who can actually interact with the enemies.

Затуманенный разум

Do note that you can receive the same debuff multiple times in a row.

You should assess what classes received what buff as to work out what sort of crowd control each team has available.

A really simple way to kill this boss with almost any LFR group is to simply group up on the tank when the Illusion phase begins. The tank will travel around the illusions, stopping where he can see them and ask in /say "here?" and you can have your group respond in /say either "yes" or "no".

You will have plenty of time to run around the whole room and kill the illusion and it's a hell of a lot easier than putting markers down and praying. If you're paying particular attention you can really quickly narrow down the location of the real illusion if you and the tank have different buffs by watching where they are running and if you should spot illusions on that side then you're guaranteed to have the correct side.
