Prior to patch 4.0.1, Fire Ward was a mage spell would cast a shield on the caster to absorb fire damage. The shield lasted 30 seconds or until the given amount of damage was absorbed, whichever came first. Fire Ward was self-cast only. Since Patch 4.0.1, this spell has been replaced with Spell fire twilightfireward [Mage Ward] which also blocks Frost and Arcane damage.

Talent improvements[]

The Spell fire firearmor [Molten Shields] talent gave Fire Ward a 30% chance at max rank to reflect fire spells back at the caster.

Fire Ward benefited from the mana cost reductions from the talents Spell fire burnout [Pyromaniac] and Spell ice magicdamage [Elemental Precision].

Notes[]

Fire Ward absorbed an additional 10% of the caster's bonus Spell Damage.

Fire Ward could have been dispelled as a magic debuff.

Damage reduction due to spell resistances or Spell nature abolishmagic [Dampen Magic]-like effects was calculated before damage would be absorbed.

Fire Ward shared the same cooldown timer as Spell frost frostward [Frost Ward]. Using one ward would have triggered the cooldown of the other, meaning only one of the two wards could have been active at the same time.
