Fire Shield places a damage shield on the Warlock and any party members within range (30 yards). The shield deals Fire damage to any enemy who hits a protected person. In addition, rank 6 and higher also increase the Fire resistance. It is not known if Fire Shield scales with spell power, however preliminary testing indicates that it cannot have a spell power coefficient higher than 1%.

Tips and Tactics

When set to auto-cast, the Imp will cast this on any party members within 30 yds if they receive a melee attack.

As with any fire damage, mobs can resist it and it will not work on fire-immune mobs.

Fire Shield will not unphase the imp, as it is a defensive spell.

Does not stack with Thorns.

Patch changes

  • Patch 3.1.0 (2009-04-14): You can now cast this ability on raid members, rather than party members.
