A Fleeting Shrine provides a boost to character's movement speed. The shrine also provides a +25 yard bonus to a character's gold and health orb pick up radius.
While this is generally the most popular shrine for the movement speed bonus and easy gold pickup, some players dislike it since it makes it nearly impossible to avoid unneeded health globes, saving them for possible emergency use later.
Fleeting Shrines were added to the game in Patch 1.0.5.[1]
General Shrine Information
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 2 minutes, 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.
