Pylons were introduced to Diablo 3 in the Reaper of Souls expansion. They can only appear in Nephalem Rifts in Adventure Mode. As with Shrines their chance of appearancing is random and they can possess one of a few bonuses listed below.

Types of Pylons

• Channeling Pylon - Resource costs are removed and cooldowns on skills are reduced by 75%. Negates 'Life Per Fury Spent' Barbarian item bonus
• Conduit Pylon - Grants players a zapping electrical property that kills most monsters instantly and destroys anything destructible.
• Shield Pylon - A shield grants the player complete immunity to damage from all attacks and debuffs.
• Speed Pylon - Your movement speed is increased to maximum.
• Power Pylon - Damage from all of your attacks is increased by 400%, causing you to deal five times as much damage.

Big Pylon, Big Effect

Pylon General Information

• All Pylons' effects last for 30 seconds on the player who clicked it and nearby allies.
• The 30 second duration of the Pylon can not be increased by any skills or by the Gloves of Worship (shrines' effects last 10 mins instead of 2).
• The Barbarian bonus found on some items 'Life Per Fury Spent' will not apply to the player affected by a Channeling Pylon.
• Wearing Nemesis Bracers when clicking a Pylon will cause an enemy champion to spawn. It is not known if this is working as intended because the bracers only state Shrines in the description.
• Pylons do not regenerate and can only be used once per game.
• A pylon's effects persist if the player moves between levels.
• Pylons of different type can be active at the same time.
• Pylons of the same type do not stack, they simply reset the 30 second timer.
