This talent is most useful to mages that expect to take a lot of magical damage. Aside from the resistance added to all schools, it will restore mana for each full resist. The amount of mana restored is a percentage of the mage's total mana pool, meaning that the talent scales with gear. Pre-expansion, there were quite a few raid encounters that required high amounts of resistance, such as [[Ragnaros]], [[Vaelastrasz the Corrupt]] and [[Viscidus]]. With the [[Burning Crusade]] expansion, there are fewer raid encounters that rely on the entire raid wearing a lot of resist gear, and this talent has become less useful. This could still be somewhat useful in PvP situations.

The Thrall Realm was started in the Spring of 2006, Thrall has quickly become one of the largest PVE severs, due to the large number of players that have paid for realm transfers. Although, the numbers are declining now, due in part to subsequent new servers and transfers.

Although the following should not weigh heavy in any consideration for the talent, it is observed that if you do a run through a low-level instance, you will resist essentially all magic attacks against you, and that will give you significant mana regeneration.

Do take into consideration that this talent grants a lot of resistance at max level, and less resistance gear means more room for DPS gear.

Properties
Affects Resistance

Magic Absorption is a mage talent that increases resistance to all schools, and restores mana each time a spell is resisted.

This talent is most useful to mages that expect to take a lot of magical damage. Aside from the resistance added to all schools, it will restore mana for each full resist. The amount of mana restored is a percentage of the mage's total mana pool, meaning that the talent scales with gear. Pre-expansion, there were quite a few raid encounters that required high amounts of resistance, such as Ragnaros, Vaelastrasz the Corrupt and Viscidus. With the Burning Crusade expansion, there are fewer raid encounters that rely on the entire raid wearing a lot of resist gear, and this talent has become less useful. This could still be somewhat useful in PvP situations.

Although the following should not weigh heavy in any consideration for the talent, it is observed that if you do a run through a low-level instance, you will resist essentially all magic attacks against you, and that will give you significant mana regeneration.

Do take into consideration that this talent grants a lot of resistance at max level, and less resistance gear means more room for DPS gear.

Most mages first choose Spell shadow manaburn [Arcane Concentration] at this tier in the Arcane tree, and take Magic Absorption as filler for later talents in the tree.

Notes

  • This talent also returns mana from missed spells, making certain racial traits little more useful.
