Are the Highlighted destructible items in Diablo 3 significant in any way?
Posted On: May 10, 2023

I've noticed that I come across destructibles (doors, barrels, other props) that have a kind of highlight, a double helix type of spiral with some effect.


Do these items have any significance?


Here's an animated GIF that shows such an object. Pay attention to the left hand side where a large multi-story wooden scaffolding has such a highlight. I looped the video back and forth to make it easier to see.


I am kinda hoping for some kind of Easter Egg or something, but does anyone know what it means?


I'm playing Xbox One if that is significant.


Something I just thought of, this effect seems very similar to the one given out by the Haunt skill I'm using, since I'm playing a witch doctor. This effect spreads to nearby enemies, could it be that it just spreads to inanimate objects and thus only provide a visual effect?


Question from user Lasse V. Karlsen at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

That is the Haunt skill. When you use and there is no enemy on the Haunt's range, the Haunt will effect destructible items.


You can make a test on a place with some destructible items and no enemy, like Act 5 or dungeon on Act 2. Just spam Haunt while you run and you see the Haunt will apply on the items and destroy them.


This thing its good on PC because, when you break some destructible items you gain a speed boost for a short time. So, keep breaking those items to get extra speed.


My founts: I have like 200 hours with WD and one entire season with the Haunt set.
