Empowered Shrine

Empowered Shrines provide a two minute bonus that increases a character's resource regeneration rate, and also reduces the length of skill cooldowns. All resources are boosted in regeneration rate save for the Demon Hunter's Discipline which receives no bonus from this shrine.

The utility of this shrine varies greatly between classes and builds. Some characters using low-cost builds receive little benefit, while others using a lot of resources can greatly improve their performance

• These shrines were added to the game in Patch 1.0.5.[1].

Shrines in Diablo III

Shrines are randomly-located, randomly-spawned objects that characters can click to receive temporary buffs. Shrine effects pass to all players in the area when they are first triggered. All shrine benefits last for 120 seconds, and characters can benefit from multiple different shrines at once. Shrine bonuses and durations do not stack, and hitting a second shrine of the same type will simply reset the time to the full two minute duration.

• Blessed Shrine - Reduces all damage taken by 25% for 120 seconds.
• Empowered Shrine – Increased resource regeneration and reduced cooldowns for 120 seconds.
• Enlightened Shrine - +25% Experience gain from monster kills for 120 seconds.
• Fleeting Shrine – Increased movement speed and adds 25 yards to gold and health orb pickup radius for 120 seconds.
• Fortune Shrine - +25% to Magic Find and Gold Find for 120 seconds.
• Frenzied Shrine - Increases attack speed by 25% for 120 seconds.
