Description

When active, aura reduces the length of time you and your party will remain poisoned or cursed.

Cleansing
is one of only two skills in the game that can reduce curse duration, the other being the Assassin's skill
Fade
(which cannot be used on party members). Whereas
Fade
reduces the duration of curses when the curse is first applied,
Cleansing
has hidden "pulses" that occur once every two seconds. Whenever the aura pulses, each affected unit reduces the remaining curse duration by the appropriate amount. In practice, this can result in curses with durations dramatically shorter than one might expect from taking the wording of
Cleansing
at face value.

Cleansing
interacts with poison duration in a manner similar to the explanation provided above, whereas "Poison Length Reduced by X%" is applied only once, at the beginning of a poison's duration. One interesting consequence of this is that
Cleansing
can fail to abbreviate the duration of very short-lived poisons, such as those inflicted by the
Venom: Skill
.

Cleansing
also reduces shrine duration.

Chaste is the Paladin in the face of all temptations.

Pure in body and spirit, he trusts to the splendor of the Light to rid him of all impurities.

A Knight of the Faith shall neither be tainted, nor corrupted.

As of Patch 2.6, this aura can be obtained on any character or hireling by equipping the Cure runeword. Note that, at time of writing, Cure can only be made in ladder or offline games.
