The Flame Deflector is a temporary shield from fire damage. It can be used from inventory and does not have to take up an equipment slot like a trinket. The Deflector can be used by non-engineers.

Source

The Flame Deflector is crafted by Engineers with a skill level of 125.

The components are:

1x [Whirring Bronze Gizmo]

1x [Small Flame Sac]

The [Schematic: Flame Deflector] drops from Mekgineer Thermaplugg, last boss of Gnomeregan. Note that the chance of this drop is vanishingly small, making this an exceptionally rare recipe.

Notes

The Deflector does not stack with Mage's Fire Ward spell or with Fire Protection Potions (regular or Greater).

Background

A percentage of magi are, at heart, closet pyromaniacs. Not only do they call down fire on their enemies during battle, they find any other excuse to burn something down. A dwarven tinker adventurer developed the flame deflector because he was tired of getting caught in the collateral damage caused by his associate's overzealous spellcasting.

The flame deflector is a compact device fitted around the neck like a thick brace. Cooling elements housed in its thick pads sit on the wearer's shoulders, held there by straps slung under the armpits.^[1]

Patch changes

• Patch 1.4.0 (2005-05-05): Flame Deflector now does an elemental damage absorb rather than a resistance increase.
