Inspiration (Classic)

Inspiration is a Tier 3 Holy priest talent. It causes criticals from almost all of your healing spells to grant a temporary physical damage reduction buff.

Although the vast majority of priest healing spells will trigger Inspiration, certain spells will not. These include:

• Renew
• Holy Word: Serenity - although the increased 25% crit chance buff granted by this spell will in turn increase the likelihood of granting Inspiration

Inspiration does not stack with the restoration shaman's third tier talent Ancestral Healing.

Although Inspiration can proc from any of the listed spells, as the effect is of a fixed nature (not proportional to the spell's effect) and does not stack, spells that affect multiple targets (such as Prayer of Healing and Circle of Healing) are far more useful for attaining this effect; even if the amount healed is small, the full effect is still granted. For Holy priests, Circle of Healing is ideal for procing Inspiration; Penance also provides an increased proc chance, with each of its 3 ticks having a chance to crit.
