Skill Design

A pretty good skill, it is ideal that a barbarian should dual wield weapons to help the chance to proc. It is assumed that the chance to gain the buff is 100%, meaning that any critical hit will proc this effect and any additional critical hits will refresh the duration of the buff and stack up to 5 times. This skill can work very well by itself, since the stacking will help itself stack more.

Development

Inspiration was seen in every Diablo 3 game demo to date, and was balanced and moved, judging from the latest demo. The old Inspiration was in tier I of the Juggernaut Skill Tree and gave a 3% increase to critical damage and increased the damage of added hits(?) by 5% for 15 seconds whilst stacking up to 3 times.
