Earlier today Vaeflare dropped an interesting tidbit of information that Blizzard is planning new Shrines. Personally I would love to see something such as a Monster Shrine that summons a champion pack. What about you guys, anything you would like to see to make Shrines a more interesting feature?

We actually talked about introducing additional Shrine types in the future during a meeting we had earlier today. We’re also currently discussing the possibility of adding the Enlightenment Shrine into Inferno mode since the +XP bonus would be particularly appealing to players working towards their Paragon levels.Comments (4)
I want to see the gem shrine return
The Angelic/Demonic assistance is a fantastic idea. They have all kinds of animal models that could be used for transforming players. Wereferret Shrine has a real nice ring to it.
I like the idea of resource shrines. It would be a lot of fun to be able to spam Cluster Arrow for 30 seconds since my hatred couldn't run out.
I think a shrine that scales with multiplayer would be interesting, especially one that has a different effect for each class that would support each other. Solo would be some minor bump like the existing shrines. A 2-class party would get a power bump a step above existing shrines, but a 4-class party would become an unstoppable juggernaut for 2 minutes granting shielding, frenzy, MF/GF and resource regen.
I hate the idea of experience shrines in Inferno. We don't need the same D2 experience shrine chain games, too.

goblin shrine... acts like illusionist and spawns 5 at once, but only 1 is real!
It would be cool to have some shrines that summon angelic or demonic assistance, kind of like the new legendaries, which would not require a bunch of additional coding. Or one that would put a fire chain inbetween the player and the shrine or their follower. Possibly a poison nova one. They could do a bunch of interesting things.
