Improved Fire Ward
Mage · Fire · Row 4 of 7 · 2 ranks
Improved Fire Ward sits in row 4 of the Mage Fire tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It can take up to 2 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.
What Improved Fire Ward does at each rank
A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.
- Rank 1: Causes your Fire Ward to have a 10% chance to reflect Fire spells while active.
- Rank 2: Causes your Fire Ward to have a 20% chance to reflect Fire spells while active.
How to reach Improved Fire Ward
Row 4 opens after you spend 15 points in the earlier Fire rows. Level 25 is the earliest you can pick up Improved Fire Ward.
Is Improved Fire Ward worth the points?
Every rank makes the effect stronger, so putting in a few points while leveling is totally fine. Max it when the final rank is the heart of your endgame build. And if you only need it as a stepping stone, no shame in stopping early.
