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.

These 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 do not stack, and second shrine of the same type will simply reset the benefit time to the full duration.
