Like any other shield, spellcasting will not be delayed while taking damage if this spell absorbs it.

This is a self-only shield and cannot be cast on other people, including group/raid/battleground members

Which is unfortunate, because usually they need it more.

This is something I wanted to see: a spell that covered a wide range of damage, instead of a spell for 1 type of damage.
Plus, this means more keybinding space!

Looks good. I like how Blizz is trying to de-bloat our action bars :)

wow , a much better spell that it used to be ^^

now also absorbs arcane, and can absorb frost , fire and arcane at the same time, alot better than just space save.

Now the tooltip says it absorbs one of the 3 at a time does that mean that it will only absorb the first of the 3 spell damage that hit it. Like say ur dueling another mage u pop this they are fire spec they shoot you with ice lance then fireball do you get hit with fireball or will mage ward block it?

Well, this sure makes Incanter's Absorption a much more attractive talent to take in the Arcane tree! Mana Shield is getting a 10 second cooldown, but anything to boost spell power is good. This spell will be used a lot more frequently than Fire and Frost ward ever were in PvE.

Too bad they made this.
Just destroys a bit of tactical PvP-ing. A mage is trying to survive, and pops a fireward. Then it's just a smart and tactical decision to start firing frost spells or any other spell school. However, since I am a mage, I don't mind the buff.
Just... I would've liked to see a different sollution.

Edit:
Different sollutions like... Adding Arcane Ward and the like. And make an internal cooldown of 10 sec between the ward spells. Would keep some tactical gameplay in place.

The new ward spell brings alot of utility versus Druids and Hunters, i love the change.

This should be the icon for Mage Armor in all honesty.

It's great, but I really hope it will be changed for "absorbs X magic damage", warlocks are our nemesis and it's not useful against affliction, the build that put us mages really in trouble.

A great improvement on the old wards anyway.

"Effect #2 Apply Aura: Reflect Spells (Fire)"?

This was previously "Fire Ward", which absorbed only Fire spells (there was a Frost ward as well) now changed to Mage Ward, which absorbs Fire/Frost and Arcane damage.

The tooltip is a little misleading: this can absorb a mix of all three types of damage with one cast. It should really say "Absorbs Fire, Frost and Arcane damage."

Technical Question: Does this absorb the ShadowFlame damage from Nefarion?

I'm under the assumption that ShadowFlame is both Shadow AND Fire damage. I should have tested it in my last raid /sigh.

Anyone know for sure?

On Shadowflame and similar effects:

These type of mechanics (either or) will almost always choose A) Whichever you have lower resistances to or B) Whatever you can't absorb. So, if there's damage that can be Shadow or Fire, Nature or Shadow, etc etc, don't expect Mage Ward to work unless it covers both types. That said, this spell has many uses in the lastest raids, as there are many instances where you will take fire/frost/arcane damage if you're not careful/on the ball.

Also:

At lower leveling (70 twinks especially), this spell along with Mana Shiled and the Incanter's Absortion talent can be completely insane.

With a fully Brutal geared toon w/ a few PVE pieces, the total absorb shield self buffed hits around 4.7k. If you take that amount of damage in Fire/Frost/Arcane magic you gain an extra ~900 spell power.

Totals @ 70:
Incanter's full xfer: 20% of ~4700 = 940 SP
Imp MG w/ 18k mana: 360 SP
Arcane Power: 20% more spell damage
AB 4x: 50% more spell damage
SP Trinket: 320 SP (Naaru Silver)

That's a total of 1620 Spell Power & 70% more spell damage, more or less doubling your SP + the damage modifiers.

I haven't actually had a situation where I lined up all of these in a row for maximum damage, or if I have I didn't note it. That said, I'm sure you can get ABs in the range of 20k+ on PVE targets w/ all those buffs.

In Classic, Fire Ward does not gain bonus absorption from spell power or any other stat. It was changed to scale in Patch 2.3.0.
