Fire Ward

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 Mage Ward which also blocks Frost and Arcane damage.

Talent improvements
The 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 Pyromaniac and Elemental Precision.
