Season Theme
Season 27 introduces Light’s Calling, our new seasonal theme. Valiant Nephalem who recover Angelic Crucibles, a new consumable item, may use them to Sanctify any equippable Legendary item, infusing it with one of three new class-specific powers at random. We wanted to use Angelic Crucibles to lean into the expertise of each class, further exemplifying its respective prowess, but through a nuanced lens. The High Heavens are home to ethereal splendor, bursting with boundless radiance—we wanted to provide players with a taste of untainted power as doled out from Heaven itself.
Season 27 introduces Angelic Crucibles. These are a new consumable allowing Nephalems to sanctify their Legendary Items. Sanctifying an item reforges it with Primal Ancient stats and also adds a random Class-specific Sanctified Power. There are 3 exclusive Powers available per Class:
Barbarian
- Sanctified Hammer of the Ancients
- Sanctified Whirlwind
- Sanctified Wrath of the Berserker
Demon Hunter
- Sanctified Vengeance
- Sanctified Cluster Arrow
- Sanctified Strafe
Necromancer
- Sanctified Death Nova
- Sanctified Army of the Dead
- Sanctified Command Golem
Wizard
- Sanctified Arcane Orb
- Sanctified Magic Missile
- Sanctified Storm Armor
Crusader
- Sanctified Fist of the Heavens
- Sanctified Falling Sword
- Sanctified Blessed Hammer
Monk
- Sanctified Wave of Light
- Sanctified Way of the Hundred Fists
- Sanctified Seven-Sided Strike
Witch Doctor
- Sanctified Haunt
- Sanctified Horrify
- Sanctified Gargantuan
Some builds benefit more than others from Sanctified Items. We will have a dedicated guide for the full details on how each of these powers work and how to best implement them into your build!
Brand-new Guides for the reworked Trag'oul's Avatar Death Nova Necromancer, Armor of Akkhan Condemn Crusader and Tal Rasha's Elements Meteor Wizard are also in the works!
