Consecrated Shrine

The Consecrated Shrine is one of the new class of Super Shrines added in Reaper of Souls.

This shrine reduces all cooldowns to zero seconds for thirty seconds. As many of the game's most powerful skills are limited in use by their lengthy cooldowns, this can be a huge bonus, depending on a character's build.

Blizzcon 2013 Debut

The Consecrated Shrine was first seen in the RoS demo at Blizzcon 2013 and was detailed in an report on Diablo.IncGamers.com[1]:

The Consecrated Shrine removed all Cooldowns for 30 seconds. I got it in a game with a Crusader using the Tempest Horse skill (properly known as Steed Charge), and promptly broke into the Fiery Gallop effect until my resource was dry. (Which didn’t take long at lvl 33.)

Removing cooldowns wasn’t that big a boost for my char, but for a high level char with huge skills limited by their cooldowns, this would be an amazing effect.

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.
