The shield does [[Fire]] damage to any enemy who hits a protected person. One thing to note is that, as with any fire damage, mobs can resist it and it will not work on fire-immune mobs.

'''Fire Shield''' places a damage shield on the [[Warlock]] and any party members within range (30 yards). The shield deals [[Fire]] damage to any enemy who hits a protected person. In addition, rank 6 and higher also increase the [[Fire resistance]]. Fire Shield has a [[spell power coefficient]] of roughly 1% of the imp's spell power or 0.15% of the warlock's spell power.

==Rank Table==
Fire Shield can be set to [[auto-cast]]; when this is set, the Imp will cast Fire Shield whenever a party member is a victim of a melee strike, if it isn't already up. The Imp can even cast Fire Shield if the the commanding Warlock is under attack and mounted, a situation where pets are normally unable to act.
