Frost Ward

Prior to Patch 4.0.1, Frost Ward was a mage spell that would cast a shield on the caster to absorb frost damage. The shield would last 30 seconds or until the given amount of damage was absorbed, whichever came first. Frost Ward was self-cast only. Since Patch 4.0.1, Frost Ward has been replaced with Mage Ward which is a similar spell that also blocks Fire and Arcane damage.

Previously, Frost Ward (Rank 5) could have been trained at level 60 from ; a random drop from pre-TBC high level dungeons, raid bosses and outdoor world bosses.

Talent improvements
The Frost Warding talent gave Frost Ward a 20% chance at max rank to reflect frost spells back at the caster.

This spell benefits from the mana cost reduction effects of the talents Elemental Precision and Frost Channeling.

Cold Snap would have reset the cooldown on this spell.
