The Stone Guard AbilitiesShared Abilities

Solid Stone - When no other stone guards are nearby, the Guardian reverts to stone form. While in this form, it takes 90% reduced damage but cannot gain energy.

Rend Flesh - The Guardian rends the flesh of the target, causing 113350 Physical damage every 1 sec. Lasts 15 sec.

Power Down - When the guardians reach 75% and 40% remaining health, one of them will power down all Energized Tiles in the room to prevent players from using the energy.

Encounter-specific Abilities

White Floor Tiles - These tiles absorb the energy from Living Amethyst, Living Cobalt, Living Jade, and Living Jasper when a player stands on them. Each tile absorbs one charge of energy. For each tile currently energized in the room, every player gains a stack of Energized Tiles, increasing their damage done and Spirit by 1%.

Living Crystals - Each boss has a corresponding crystal with 7 charges. Clicking a crystal inflicts that player with energy from the corresponding boss, allowing them to energize 10 floor tiles around them. This means that each player interacting with a crystal can provide a 10% buff to the raid.
