Delete conduit shrine

Please delete conduit shrine from the game. It’s by far the worst possible shrine, the damage sucks and it takes away our own abilities making us vulnerable without our defensive cooldowns.

OR change it to work the same as D3 where you get the buff without it taking away your abilities.

This. It was fine in S5. Now it’s hot garbage.

I skip them if I notice them, but sometimes in a hurry I click on them and then I’m cursing the idea for the next ?? seconds.

D3 had similar problems with channeling shrines that killed “per resource spent” effects, didn’t they?

Why are you asking Blizzard to nerf druids? That’s just rude.

Incorrect removing the conduit shrine is the worst option the better option would just be to make it similar to d3 shrine where it does passive aoe damage

You’re dying with Conduit Shrine active? LMFAO

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that, I thought you were invulnerable when you had that buff… I’ve never even taken damage with conduit up.

It was terrible in the past couple of seasons for sure, damage was so low that my speed through a dungeon dropped 10x or more by clicking it.

So far it’s not that bad this season. It’s slowing me down for sure, because I can’t cast my abilities, but it’s killing stuff in a similar amount of time and letting me teleport around, so it’s ultimately about break even. Some builds it works better for than others because of how it scales.

If we had the option of ‘removing the buff’ if we wanted, that would be fine. It would be better if it just added chain lightning damage to all of our attacks.

Yes, every time I trigger it, I question if any dev is playing their game.

as a summoner necro, this shrine actively weakens me… I cannot keep my minions buffed with skeletal priest and AotD unyielding commander, I also can’t stack monsters for aoe effects like mendeln.

Conduit is just awful and does no damage.

Yeah, I agree. It sucks. It should be exciting like a temporary “I Win” button. Doing insane dmg and just deleting everything it touches.
But as is, it makes hot garbage look good.

It was and still is amazing… in Diablo III.

it sucks, i agree it should be removed. but you arent vulnerable without defensive cds as you are completely immortal while its active

While I do agree that Conduit should be removed (invulnerability should not exist, nor should disabling the players own build), the fact that player dmg is better than being an invulnerable blob of dmg really should lead to the immediate conclusion of massively nerfing every single class.

Yes please, replace it with shrine of iron chunk.

You’re welcome mongo devs

yup it dont do any damage and ya cant fight back. Hitting this shrine now is a nerf

I had intended to create this thread yesterday but forgot. 100% agree.

Or make conduit like it was in D3. But maybe a differnt flair to it. I can’t use it on my necro, My minions just stand there looking around and asking were did he go?

If it lasted twice as long and the damage scaled appropriately it would be cool like it used to be. I used to save it just in case I’d run into a butcher when I was pushing harder content mid-game. Or if it was close enough to a boss and you were on the low end of damage you could burn it down. Probably why they nerfed it. All of the shrines are boring anyway. The dungeons are designed for adhd short and fast runs. It’s not a dungeon crawler unfortunately, so we get mobile game style lame buffs. They made those dumb in Diablo 2 already. Shrines should have the potential for a permanent effect on your character, bonus or malice, and there should be a good variety of them. Some should be buffs that last the whole dungeon, or just a floor of the dungeon (man, it would be nice to have some huge multi-level dungeons where a guy could, you know, dungeon crawl).

It was bad before and now it’s horrible. Not only does it do less damage than I do, it got me stuck on terrain in the middle of a NMD.

If I accidentally grab it I almost feel like logging out b.c it just slows you down immediately.

Not even a Shrine, it’s a Boon actually.
