"Stone does not bleed, tremble, sicken, or quaver."^[1]

Stoneform (also known as or similar to stone flesh^{WoWRPG 35}, stoneskin^{A&HC 31} or avatar) is a dwarven racial ability that has many effects without a downside. It increases armor, so handy for melee attacking and tanking. It rids yourself of all poisons, diseases, and bleeding.

The Titans crafted the dwarves from stone to assist them in creating the Azeroth of today. Since this discovery, the Ironforge dwarves zealously search for any sign of their ancestors or the Titans. This newfound knowledge also unlocked enchanted energies of their heritage, enabling Ironforge dwarves to perform spectacular feats. The dwarves have rediscovered the power to return to their original forms, and turning skin to stone. They firmly believe that other powers are waiting to awaken within them; all they need is the key.^{WRPG 40}^{MG 250}

Notes Edit

Removes all rogue poisons such as Crippling Poison, Deadly Poison, Mind Numbing Poison, Wound Poison, etc. Also removes the rogue's Rupture as well as Garrote.

Removes all warrior bleed effects like Rend and Deep Wounds.

Removes all Death Knight diseases, such as Frost Fever, Blood Plague and Ebon Plague.

Also removes the druid finisher Rip, a priest's Devouring Plague, and a hunter's Wyvern Sting, Serpent Sting, Viper Sting, Scorpid Sting and Snake Trap poisons.

Tips and tactics Edit

Stoneform is incredible against rogues, and effective for any class. With this skill, even warrior, hunter or rogue dwarves can dispel some of their debuffs, so it's a plus for soloing, especially when you are inflicted by Diseases that tend to last for 5 to 30 minutes.
Since it removes bleeding efects it is very useful during some raid encounters where you take heavy bleeding damage and you would otherwise die. Example: Moroes in Karazhan.
For death knights with Bladed Armor or warriors with Armored to the Teeth, this functions as a DPS cooldown as well.

Patch changesEdit

Patch 3.1.0 (2009-04-14): Stoneform no longer makes the user immune to poison, disease and bleed effects. Instead these effects will be cleared when cast. Cooldown reduced to 2 minutes from 3.
Patch 2.2.0 (2007-09-25): Blind is now a physical ability and cannot be removed with Stoneform.
Patch 1.6.0 (2005-07-12): Can now be used to cancel self-inflicted poison effects.
