Increases your target's armor by 8/16/25% for 15 sec after getting a critical effect from your Flash Heal, Heal, Greater Heal, or Prayer of Healing spell.
Inspiration is a Tier 3 Holypriesttalent. It causes criticals from almost all of your healing spells to grant a temporary physical damage reduction buff.
Notes[]
Although the vast majority of priest healing spells will trigger Inspiration, certain spells will not. These include:
[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.
Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): The buff from this talent now reduces the physical damage taken by the target by 5/10% instead of 3/7/10%. Moved from tier 3 to tier 2.
Patch 3.2.0 (2009-08-04): The buff from this ability now reduces the physical damage taken by the target by 3/7/10% instead of increasing the target's armor.
