Boss abilities
| Ability | Adventure Guide | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ground Slam | ||
| Rupture | When Ozruk performs a Ground Slam in Heroic Difficulty, the ground ruptures and causes three lines of rock spikes to erupt in the direction he is facing. | |
| Elementium Bulwark | ||
| Elementium Spike Shield | Spikes erupt from Ozruk's body for 10 sec. This effect stacks up to 5 times, but may only be applied once per second. | |
| Shatter | When the Elementium Spike Shield expires, Ozruk shatters the spikes and launches them in all directions. | |
| Paralyze | Right before Ozruk uses his Shatter ability, Ozruk will cast Paralyze. The Paralyze spell stuns all enemies for 8 sec. Any damage taken while stunned will remove the Paralyze effect. |
