Born of the belief that "the best defense is a good offense", Molten Armor is a mage spell that both imbues the caster with greater offensive power and protects him by harming his assailants, as well as greatly reducing the possibility of a critical strike. It is a self-buff armor spell.

Notes
The damage can crit and can proc effects like [Impact].
Talent improvements
- [Impact]: The chance to stun is applied to this damage as well. At 5/5, anyone attacking you essentially has a 10% chance to be stunned, giving you time to throw a [Scorch] in unmolested, or a head start on getting away.
- Ignite: As the damage has a chance to crit, it can also ignite the attack.
This spell benefits from all other talents that increase damage and critical strike chance for all spells and fire spells. This spell does not however trigger the mana replinishment effect from [Master of Elements].
Fire vulnerabilities from [Curse of the Elements] and [Improved Scorch] will also increase the damage dealt by this effect.
Tips and tactics
The last acquired armor spell is generally considered one of the best. The large increase to crit chance is unique, and by far the best offensive augmentation available from the armor spells. For solo and PvP, this alone makes the spell worth taking. However, in group PvE, it is sometimes better to use [Mage Armor] as the longevity increase from the mana regeneration while casting effect outweighs the damage increase.
The damage to attackers may not seem like a lot, but it quickly adds up if you are being attacked by a rogue or other fast attacker. It's also wonderful for taking multiple mobs at the same time. The damage can crit and is affected by talents like [Impact], so additional effects can be triggered by it.
While Fire Mages and most Arcane Mages use this armor for PvP, it is suggested that Frost Mages use Ice Armor as Frostbite and Ice Lance can be deadly to melee classes.
