1. THE STONE GUARD
10 man Heroic

2. Stats Overview

• Enrage Timer: 7’
• No additional mobs

3. Raid Composition Overview
• 2 Tanks
• 5 DPS (Cleaves preferred)
• 3 Healers
• High tank damage
• Communication and Coordination extremely
important

4. Heroic Mode Differences
• 3 crystals corresponding to the 3 Stone Guards
alive
• Each crystal allows the players to lay tiles through
a debuff explained in the special mechanics
section
• Significant increase on tank damage
• Significant increase on raid damage

5. Strategy
• Tanks
• Rotate CDs, inform your healers when you are out of them
• Communicate only when necessary to set up the taunt rotation
according to what Stone Guard is energized
• A mistake on the taunting will prove fatal
• Healers
• Provide your tanks with CDs when theirs run out
• Prioritise your healing on tanks then DPSers
• Don’t be concerned about mana, the buff provided will cover this
• DPS
• DPS the appropriate target
• Avoid any damage that is unnecessary
• Lay tiles

6. Special Mechanics
• Energized Tiles
• DPSers priority. Lay as many tiles as you can, as fast as you can
• Every one tile is 1% increased Spirit and 1% increased damage
• There are approximately 250 tiles throughout the room, you will
need about 70
• Pools, Shards, Mines and Chains
• More damage from special abilities
• Break Mines and Chains only when their respective boss is active
(90% damage reduction)
• Avoid Pools, ask your tanks to relocate when it gets too crowded
• Rotate absorbs and/or damage reducing CDs throughout the fight
to minimize damage from Shards

7. Use of raid cooldowns
• Bloodlust approximately at 35% HP after the first
60 tiles have been placed following the 40% reset
• Spirit based mana CDs like Hymn of Hope and
Innervate should be used before the tiles reset to
benefit from the extra spirit
• Raid Walls like Barrier should be used whenever
possible as the group will never be bunched up to
increase effectiveness

8. Special Phases
• At 75% HP and 40% HP the Stone Guard will
reset any tiles that have been placed, resetting
the stacks of the buff
• The Stone Guard will enrage after 7’ but with the
damage increase from the tiles this should be of
no concern
