||
| + | [[Inner Fire]] and Inner Will are mutually exclusive; the priest must decide which to have active at any given time. As both are free and last until cancelled, there is no reason not to have one of these abilities active at all times. |
||
| − | In [[Warcraft: Orcs & Humans]] the term Azeroth refers to the kingdom in most cases, and it can be implied that it is a world in only one quote. It can be assumed that, when the game was released, the kingdom and land of Azeroth were one and the same. At the time, the kingdom of Azeroth was the only part of the world known to the player, thus it is possible that the reference to the world and other undefined uses of the term were actually referring to the same thing but were given different uses in the later games. |
||
| + | As Inner Will is not learnt until level 83, priests below this level should always have [[Inner Fire]] active. |
||
| − | ==Warcraft II== |
||
| − | ===Tides of Darkness=== |
||
| − | In ''[[Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness]]'' in most cases it is referred as a kingdom, but is also referred as a continent and as a world. |
||
| + | [[Inner Fire]] provides an armor and spell power buff. This provides a very substantial improvement to the priest's defenses (increasing armor by 90% when improved with [[Glyph of Inner Fire]]) and a reasonable boost to spell power, improving both damage dealing and healing. [[Inner Sanctum]] causes Inner Fire to also reduce spell damage taken, further improving the spell's defensive value. |
||
| − | ===Beyond the Dark Portal=== |
||
| − | In ''[[Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal]]'' is refered as both, a kingdom, and a world. |
||
| + | '''Inner Will''' reduces the mana cost of your instant spells and increases your unmounted movement speed by a small amount. This makes it useful for priests who are concerned with their mana pool, especially those reliant on instants. The movement speed increase can be useful in a number of situations both in PvE and PvP, allowing the priest to outstrip pursuers or move within healing range of targets more quickly. |
||
| − | ==Warcraft III== |
||
| − | ===Reign of Chaos=== |
||
| − | In ''[[Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos]]'' is referred as a kingdom, as a land (continent) and as a world. It is revealed that the world was called Azeroth by it's inhabitants. |
||
| + | [[Inner Fire]] is therefore more directly beneficial to defence, healing and damage dealing; while Inner Will benefits mana-efficiency and movement speed. Priests above level 83 will have to decide which aspects to enhance at any given time. It is quite possible to change between the two buffs depending on the situation; as both are free to cast, the only cost is the use of a global cooldown to activate the chosen spell. |
||
| − | ===The Frozen Throne=== |
||
| − | In ''[[Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne]]'' is referred as a world. |
||
| + | When [[Inner Fire]] is the priest's preferred buff, Inner Will can be used to quickly escape AoE effects, or move swiftly between targets, following which the priest may choose to re-activate Inner Fire. When time allows, priests can also activate Inner Will in anticipation of casting one or more instant spells, saving 15% of the mana they would spend. It should be noted that many instants (such as [[Power Word: Shield]]) benefit from spell power, and so, although 15% cheaper when cast during Inner Will, will be slightly less effective than if cast during Inner Fire. Inner Will can also be very useful when carrying the flag in [[battleground]]s such as [[Warsong Gulch]], although the priest may wish to re-activate [[Inner Fire]] should they come under attack. |

Inner Will is a free instant self-cast Priest buff that reduces the cost of the priest's instant cast spells by 15% and increases the priest's unmounted movement speed by 10%.
It is learned at level 83 for 25
80
, and was first announced in the Cataclysm priest review.
Improvements
- Inner Sanctum (Discipline, Tier 2): Your Inner Fire also reduces all spell damage taken by 2/4/6% while it is active, and the movement speed bonus of your Inner Will is increased by 2/4/6%.
Notes
Although not explicitly stated in the tooltip, Inner Will only affects unmounted movement speed. Mounted speed, flight speed and swim speed are unaffected.
The movement speed bonus from Inner Will does not stack with most other movement speed increasing effects, such as that provided by 
[Body and Soul].
Inner Fire
[Inner Fire] and Inner Will are mutually exclusive; the priest must decide which to have active at any given time. As both are free and last until cancelled, there is no reason not to have one of these abilities active at all times.
As Inner Will is not learnt until level 83, priests below this level should always have [Inner Fire] active.
[Inner Fire] provides an armor and spell power buff. This provides a very substantial improvement to the priest's defenses (increasing armor by 90% when improved with 
[Glyph of Inner Fire]) and a reasonable boost to spell power, improving both damage dealing and healing. Inner Sanctum causes Inner Fire to also reduce spell damage taken, further improving the spell's defensive value.
Inner Will reduces the mana cost of your instant spells and increases your unmounted movement speed by a small amount. This makes it useful for priests who are concerned with their mana pool, especially those reliant on instants. The movement speed increase can be useful in a number of situations both in PvE and PvP, allowing the priest to outstrip pursuers or move within healing range of targets more quickly.
[Inner Fire] is therefore more directly beneficial to defence, healing and damage dealing; while Inner Will benefits mana-efficiency and movement speed. Priests above level 83 will have to decide which aspects to enhance at any given time. It is quite possible to change between the two buffs depending on the situation; as both are free to cast, the only cost is the use of a global cooldown to activate the chosen spell.
When [Inner Fire] is the priest's preferred buff, Inner Will can be used to quickly escape AoE effects, or move swiftly between targets, following which the priest may choose to re-activate Inner Fire. When time allows, priests can also activate Inner Will in anticipation of casting one or more instant spells, saving 15% of the mana they would spend. It should be noted that many instants (such as 
[Power Word: Shield]) benefit from spell power, and so, although 15% cheaper when cast during Inner Will, will be slightly less effective than if cast during Inner Fire. Inner Will can also be very useful when carrying the flag in battlegrounds such as Warsong Gulch, although the priest may wish to re-activate [Inner Fire] should they come under attack.
When Inner Will is the priest's preferred buff, [Inner Fire] can be used in anticipation of taking damage (especially physical) or casting non-instant spells.
Patch changes
Patch 4.1.0 (2011-04-26): Now last until canceled. - Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): Added.
