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.

Prior to Patch 4.0.1, Inv misc questionmark [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 Spell fire twilightfireward [Mage Ward] which is a similar spell that also blocks Fire and Arcane damage.

  • 1. Previously, Frost Ward (Rank 5) could have been trained at level 60 from [Tome of Frost Ward V]; a random drop from pre-TBC high level dungeons, raid bosses and outdoor world bosses. As yet there have been no reported instances of this item dropping from Burning Crusade mobs.

Talent improvements

The Spell frost frostward [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 Spell frost stun [Frost Channeling].

Spell frost wizardmark [Cold Snap] would have reset the cooldown on this spell.

Notes

Frost Ward could have been dispelled as a magic debuff.

Damage reduction due to spell resistances or Spell nature abolishmagic [Dampen Magic]-like effects was calculated before damage would be absorbed.

Spell fire firearmor [Fire Ward] shared the same cooldown timer as Inv misc questionmark [Frost Ward]. Using one ward would have triggered the cooldown of the other, meaning only one of the two wards could have been active at a time.

Patch Changes

Cataclysm Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): Replaced with Spell fire twilightfireward [Mage Ward]
