More punch for Holy skills

The Holy Beacon is an amulet for anyone leaning on holy damage effects: it boosts the damage of your Holy skills and additionally ramps up Spirit regeneration. That combination appeals above all to Monks, whose holy builds rely on the Spirit resource anyway. You not only hit harder but also keep your pace flowing more smoothly.

For the amulet to shine, your build should be geared toward the holy element as consistently as possible, otherwise the elemental bonus is wasted on skills of the wrong damage type. My tip: align your skill runes, other gear bonuses and chosen element firmly on Holy. When every source amplifies the same elemental damage, the benefits multiply, and the Holy Beacon becomes a firm pillar of your offense.

Two Fixed Stats, Two Audiences

The Holy Beacon carries no legendary power, just two fixed properties. The 15–20% damage bonus applies to Holy skills of any class. The Spirit regeneration of 2.17–3 per second, on the other hand, only helps a class that uses Spirit at all; for everyone else that value does nothing. A Primal Ancient amulet brings 20% Holy damage and 3.00 Spirit per second.

No Cube Slot, One Open Property

Because the amulet has no legendary power, there is nothing to extract into Kanai's Cube; it only works around your neck. A random main stat at 626–750 joins it, either Strength, Dexterity or Intelligence. As a Monk you want Dexterity. If the wrong stat rolls, the Mystic can enchant it anew; if several values sit at the bottom, you can reforge the amulet in the cube, although that rerolls everything. A follower can wear the Beacon as well.

Akarat's Warning

The flavor text quotes Akarat: turn away from evil, and let not the foul darkness engulf the Light within you. Fittingly, the amulet strengthens exactly the skills that deal Holy damage.
