New Type of Shrine

Here a suggestion from a very old FPS.

Temporary Invincibility.... with limitations.

Imagine you cannot be harmed, but can no longer see your enemies.

You scout out an area before hand, become invincible and blindly fight hearing the satisfactory sound of dying demons and hoping you get them all before you return to mortality! The monsters start blinking into your vision again and you discover you missed more than you thought, time to run and run fast!

I dont like that idea.

I would like to see shrines similar to the original Diablo enter the game, and I'd like to see them a lot more frequently, like at least 1 per area.

Interesting. That sounds fine for a class with AoE spells but not so great with classes that need to physically click on the enemies to attack them. It would be worthless for an Amazon-type class and mostly worthless for the Barbarian, for example.

I don't like the invincibility idea.
I think there should be one of two new types: Aura shrines
Either totems that give you the aura when you're around them, or shrines that once you click on them, the arua centers around you for a time.

A little bit too confusing as a thing, i think it might harm you more than help you. If they put shrines the type that existed in d1 were just fine

I like that idea a lot. Mostly the totem one.

I like this idea. It seems like a natural extension of the shrine concept to cover areas they could have explored in D2 but didn't. Although it would only be relevant if they brought back the Pala or some other party buffing character, imo at least.
