Consecration

Consecration is an optional but highly recommended addition for handling tankier packs or bosses. When placed on the ground:

 All Paladins and spirit wolves in the area gain 15% increased damage.

 The skill's AoE and duration can be enhanced with Diablo 4 Gold Hallowed Ground and Enhanced Consecration.

While it adds an extra button to manage, the payoff is substantial for high-tier Pit farming or Tower content.
