Blessed Shrines (formerly known as Desecrated Shrines) provide a defensive bonus to characters by reducing all damage taken by 25% for the duration of the bonus. This bonus is calculated after all other damage decrease bonuses, and thus reduces the apparent damage taken by a one quarter.

==General Shrine informationShrines 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 2 minutes120 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.  ===Super Shrines in Reaper of Souls=== This new class of shrines provide huge benefits for just 30 seconds.
