Diablo 4’s Season of Witchcraft has introduced exciting new content, including Witchcraft Powers and Occult Gems, leading to potent character builds1. The Lunar Awakening event further spices things up, modifying the Shrines of Sanctuary and making them central to earning tiered rewards. However, the Conduit Shrine has become a major point of contention among players, labeled as "useless" and prompting calls for Blizzard to take action. In the early game, encountering a Conduit Shrine can be an exhilarating experience, transforming players into lightning-spewing orbs of destruction. The damage boost and speed enhance the ability to clear Dungeons and the overworld. Yet, once players reach Torment Level 4 and optimize their builds, the Conduit Shrine's effectiveness diminishes significantly. It struggles to keep pace with the immense damage output of optimized builds, leading many late-game players to view it as a debuff. Players have voiced their frustrations, with some suggesting that the Shrine feels like a "sick joke" by the developers. The ineffectiveness of the Conduit Shrine during the Lunar event is particularly problematic, as it essentially wastes a Shrine spawn on Tier 4 difficulty. Some players are actively avoiding Conduit Shrines, hoping to find more useful Shrines to maximize their Ancestral Favor gains. Constructive suggestions have emerged, including reworks that would make the Shrine more synergistic with existing abilities. One player suggested modifying the shrine to behave like the "ball lightning" ability, where lightning arcs from the player and strikes nearby monsters while also increasing movement speed1. Others have proposed simpler solutions, such as a flat damage increase to make the Shrine more viable in late-game scenarios1. Whether Blizzard will address these concerns remains to be seen, although they have attempted to buff the Shrine in the past. For more information about Diablo 4 Items, please follow www.u4gm.com.
