Diablo 3 is adding a new type of season-exclusive consumable in Season 27 and it also grants some unique class-specific powers for players to use too.

These ‘Sanctified powers‘ are currently available in the Diablo 3 PTR undergoing testing ready for the new seasons launch, but if you’re interested to know how they work in advance, read on for all you need to know.

How To Get Sanctified Powers In Diablo 3

Diablo 3 Season 27 introduces a new type of consumable item called Angelic Crucibles. Once uncovered by Nephalem, these heavenly artifacts can be used to Sanctify any equippable Legendary item. Sanctifying an item reforges it to have perfect Ancient-level stats on all affixes while also preserving the item’s Legendary Power.

However, it also adds one of three new Sanctified powers unique to each class (details of which are further down).

How do Sanctified Powers Work:

• Angelic Crucibles and Sanctified Items can only be acquired in Seasonal play and will not transfer to your non-seasonal character when the season ends.
• Angelic Crucibles can drop anywhere in Sanctuary at level 70.
• Players can obtain as many Sanctified items as they would like, however, only one Sanctified item can be equipped at a time.
• Sanctified items can be Sanctified again using another Angelic Crucible.
• No stats are preserved when Sanctifying an item.
• Only level 70 equippable items can be Sanctified—crafted items cannot be Sanctified.
• Followers cannot equip Sanctified items.

Diablo 3 Sanctified Powers List

Update - added a few additional details following the release of the Diablo 3 Season 27 Patch Notes.

Below is a list of all Sanctified Powers in Diablo 3 Season 27, separated by class:

Barbarian Sanctified Powers

• Whirlwind pulls in and holds all enemies within 25 yards.
• Hammer of the Ancients hits in all directions around the Barbarian. Every seventh cast of Hammer of the Ancients unleashes a powerful shockwave.
• Hitting enemies generates stacks of Tempest Rhythm. Activating Wrath of the Berserker consumes 50 stacks of Tempest Rhythm and startles enemies within 16 yards, causing them to take 0.5% increased damage per stack for 10 seconds. Max 100 stacks.

Crusader Sanctified Powers

• Blessed Hammer now crackles with energy, damaging enemies within 15 yards of its path. All runes but Dominion now throw the hammer in a direct path in front of the Crusader.
  • Fixed a bug that caused Blessed Hammer to stop when hitting allies.
• Every two seconds, call down Fist of the Heavens on a random nearby enemy. After casting Steed Charge, this effect occurs more rapidly for five seconds.
  • Updated the visual effects of the Fist of the Heavens Sanctified power to differentiate it from Fist of the Heavens cast by players.
• After casting Falling Sword, you descend from the sky with two Archangels that can cast Consecration and Condemn.
  • Updated the Archangels abilities to not benefit from bonuses and removed the Heaven’s Fury skill.
  • Archangels no longer take damage.

  • The Archangels will no longer cast Condemn and Consecration immediately upon being summoned.
  • The Archangels damage has been reduced 33% of its previous value.

Demon Hunter Sanctified Powers

• Strafe now casts the last non-channeled Hatred spending ability cast.
  • Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the Strafe sanctified power to stop casting the Hatred spending ability.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the Multishot visual effects to fire in the wrong direction.
• Casting Vengeance unleashes a barrage of rockets that deal damage equal to a percentage of the maximum life enemies possess. The number of rockets fired increases over 30 seconds. Elites and Bosses receive less damage per rocket.
  • Fixed a bug in the tooltip to correctly state that damage is equal to a percentage of maximum life, not current life.
• Firing Cluster Arrow no longer drops explosive ordinance. Instead, it concentrates its explosive force into piercing rays of light.
  • Updated the Cluster Arrow tooltip to clarify the power and potential interactions with other skills.
  • Adjusted the animation to feel more fluid.
  • Updated the Cluster Arrow visual effects and sounds.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented Cluster Arrow from proccing Restraint and Thrill of the Hunt.
  • Fixed a bug where Cluster Arrow didn’t properly cost 40 Hatred.

Monk Sanctified Powers

• Casting Wave of Light now summons a bell at the target location that deals damage when any player attacks the bell. Up to five bells can be active at one time.
  • The Shattering Light rune now respects which way you’re facing when you strike the bell, and your bells can no longer proc your own bells.
  • Updated the tooltip to reflect that other players can attack summoned bells.
  • Added sounds to the Wave of Light Sanctified power.
  • Bells no longer count as kills to other players.
  • Bells now despawn if not destroyed within 10 seconds.
• All Way of the Hundred Fists combo punches use the second stage combo punch. Consecutive hits from Way of the Hundred Fists increases its damage by 2%. Max 350 stacks.
• The target of your Seven-Sided Strike is barraged with spiritual punches for 15 seconds. This can only affect one enemy at a time.

Necromancer Sanctified Powers

• Your Golem now picks up corpses within 20 yards. Each corpse it stores allows you to cast any corpse spending ability with the max number of corpses consumed per cast. Up to 30 corpses can be stored.
  • Updated the tooltip to clarify which Corpse skills are impacted by the Sanctified power.
• Enemies within 50 yards are constantly assaulted by the Army of the Dead – Unconventional Warfare while this item is equipped.
  • Fixed a bug that caused an unintended interaction with Fate’s Vow and the Army of the Dead Sanctified power.
• Hitting enemies with Death Nova five consecutive times adds a spirit that afflicts an enemy every fifth cast of Death Nova. Up to three spirits can be sent at a time.

Witch Doctor Sanctified Powers

• Enemies affected by Locust Swarm are also Haunted. When you cast Piranhas, all Haunted enemies within 60 yards are pulled into the pool. A lesser enemy stunned by Bogadile is instantly killed. Elites and Bosses stunned by Bogadile take massive damage.
  • Added a visual effect to indicate the area where monsters are pulled in by Piranhas.
• Horrify becomes an aura that causes enemies to receive 100% more damage and deal 15% less damage in addition to its other effects.
