This will not absorb damage from falling!

With the release of Wrath of the Lich King, all grimoires where taken out of the game. You pet will now automatically learn their new ability and the new level of it.

It's bubble hearth for warlocks!

Comment by DwarfsPwn

This spell is cheap :/

Comment by Paramud

Demonic bubble-hearthing has saved my life so many times.

This was changed to level 28 from level 16, throughout the Cataclysm Patch

Comment by Verdice

As of right now, this ability is just awful. Similarly Shadow Ward, 9k worth of absorption is hardly worth using in Cataclysm and counts for less than 1/12th of our overall health. It will maybe prevent a third of a spell crit and is worth two to three dot ticks from another player at most. Like many Warlock abilities, this one went overlooked by Blizzard.

Comment by alicyndecay

Does anybody know if the absorption amount of this shield at level 85 scales with certain stats such as intellect or spellpower ?

This spell will most likely suck at max-level if it does not scale, but at least it's better than the horrible Mana Shield that Mages get.
