That game was fun! Can we do another? Keeps us well occupied.
I think we already are. It’s called “try and get Zantai to confirm a new mastery”. 
Imo it was confirmed with the very first FG announcement by the lack of any mention of a mastery and their continued silence and evasion on the topic since that time. There is a new mastery. The only question is if it is one mastery or two.
Besides that I do believe that Zantai has already spoken in a post somewhere basically giving the nod of a masteries existence. Which was the confirmation needed that it exists. Nevermind the “Sentinel” peek.
But I already knew that.

Each mastery added is exponentially more work than the ones before it (which is unique to a dual-class system). Adding a 9th mastery is actually adding 9 new classes with unique itemization needs. For this reason, I find it extremely hard to believe that they’d add 2 more masteries, since it would be a much larger undertaking than inquisitor and necro were (which was already a huge undertaking). 2 additional masteries at this point is 19 additional class combinations, whereas necro + inquis were only 15 more combinations.
You’re not really telling me anything I don’t know already. I still think there’s a chance I will see your second mastery or at least until they confirm otherwise.

I’m still in high hopes of seeing two new masteries.
I am not sure that is true. You still design the skills for one mastery. Yes, you might want a few specific items for a specific combo, but that does not have to be for all possible combinations, nor do you have to make sure that all combinations of the new mastery and the existing ones work equally well together, that is not the case today either.
That being said, I am not really expecting two masteries regardless, I definitely am expecting one however.
Keep it up. I can hear Zantai sniggering quietly to himself, loving all this angst.
Just as long that we are getting a shield mastery. And with that FG background with a guy holding a shield, we can’t go wrong.
The AoM wallpaper was so representative that we have not even met the woman in the pic yet, so I would not read too much into it
Have you not heared about Menhir’s twins, that was the first hint for a shield mastery.:rolleyes:
1 mastery named paladin>>>>>>>2 or more not-paladin named masteries.
so I’d rather have one that is a divine mastery than having 2 or more but considered unholy.
Doesn’t necessarily exclude the chance a mastery combination might be called Paladin.
I’m going for a priest-like mastery
Paladin (with Demo)
Templar (with Soldier)
Sentinal (with Nightblade)
Prophet (with Arcanist)
Wildcaller (with Shaman)
Heretic (with Necro)
Bloodsworn (with Occulist)
Harbinger (with Inquisitor)
Speculate away!
I depict Zentai as some sort of entropic entity that feeds of this angst and anguish.
Oh, I’m sure he does. He loves winding us up just before he reveals something new. If he worked in a big studio with no interaction with the fan base he’d be SO bored. Good thing he ended up here instead. 
You can also depict him like this:
powbam by far has the best depiction of Zantai:
Sounds about right
