What's some examples of Masteries?
Using and mastering a glider to glide through the skies of the jungle, more points into this mastery allows longer hang time and the ability to use gusts of air to propel your glider into the air.
I believe they also hinted that one of the combat masteries included the ability to rip armour off of tough enemies within the jungle, too.

Learning about Maguuma Lore&Languages is another mastery. They said you’ll be able to communicate with new non-playable factions.
If I recall correctly, they stated a few examples during the live stream. Masteries include, but are not limited to:
- Traversing the new environment, which would include air gliding and possibly other means.
- Understanding ancient languages and their lore, thus granting access to otherwise inaccessible areas.
- Crafting, most specifically in creating precursors for Legendaries.
- Combat, granting skills and abilities necessary to complete very challenging and difficult content in the new areas. In other words, view this is another form of agony resistance, where you will be unable to complete the challenges without these skills/abilities.
