Grim Dawn 2 mastery system suggestion

[deen]

I think we can all agree that whatever Grim Dawn 2 brings to the table,the thing we can be sure of is the dual mastery system continuing,its basicaly a staple of grim dawn/titan quest

But simply doing the same thing all over again just in a prettier wrapper would not feel like enough progres over what came before

How about this: every mastery combination gets acces to its own extra mini tree ,think like wow’s hero talents maybe,this mini tree would have acces to unique things only for that combination

A necromancer + soldier could get more defensive talents,and a new ability that fits that death knight fantasy,wile a necromancer + occultist would get a more magical and pet oriented skill and passives.

What do you think?

This is quote from Zantai as to why they didn’t do this in GD for a bit of context:

@Class Identity Idea

Apart from the massive amount of work that would require (we’re up to 28 combinations now, each of which would necessitate its own set of unique bonuses), I feel this would have the opposite effect of what you desire, by which I mean it would bottleneck each combination into a particular way to play, unless those class-combo bonuses were so minor that they aren’t really defining the combo in the first place.

This was from the Compilation of Dev Feedback

This has been suggested before.

I’m actually for having unique passives/skills being available to a specific mastery combination, but maybe have them be levelled in a different manner.

It’s not a bad idea and gives the class combination a unique feel.

A single mastery is better for GD2
