== Notes ==
* Cold spells cause it extreme damage and will slow its attack rate.
* It's slow to move and if attacking someone weak in life (like rogue or mage), they can easily escape.
* Battle Synergy is very useful against the gate guardian, especially since most of its special abilities are AoE.
* Casting Dispel Magic on the guardians will stun them for approximately 10 seconds, afflicting them with a lesser form of Hex of Torment for the duration as well.
