On the season theme

In Season 40, Angelic Crucibles sanctify a legendary item: perfect Ancient-level stats plus one of three powers of your class at random. You can only wear one Sanctified item at a time. None of your class's three powers boosts a skill of this build directly. The Army of the Dead power works regardless of your skill bar. Which item is sanctified depends on the version: Trag'Oul's Corroded Fang (GR push), In-geom (Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts) and Trag'Oul's Corroded Fang (Speed farming). Since the power is rolled at random, a Sanctified item can be sanctified again with another Crucible. All powers are listed on the Season 40 page.
