Tips and Tactics
- Note that the duration is the same as the cooldown. If you absorb the given damage before the spell cools down, you're stuck taking any additional damage until you can cast again. If you know you're about to take a lot of fire damage, wait 10 or 15 seconds after casting before charging into battle.
- Since [Dampen Magic] reduction is calculated before damage is applied, be sure to have it up when you use this spell, it will make your ward last longer.
- Make sure you realize that it shares a cooldown timer with [Frost Ward]. You have to live (or die) with whatever you pick.
- If you cast this spell after a caster completes a spell, but before it reaches you (e.g. a
[Fireball] from an enemy mage at long range) the damage will be absorbed. Think fast! - If this spell is improved with talents, there is a 10/20% chance to reflect back any offensive fire spell cast onto you.
