Guild Wars 2

Title says it all. Just curious if they released or hinted at what masteries to get. I believe in previous interviews they said “not everyone will need certain masteries to contribute, but if most don’t have certain masteries it will be really difficult or impossible to progress.” So I’m just curious which ones to focus on, as the HoT story you really didn’t need that many. I’m assuming gliding, maybe itzel poison or something since you didn’t need it for that 1 story. Any other ideas or confirmations? Maybe rip off the tree bark one?

Most definitely mushroom jumping and updrafts. I can see them requiring the poison immunity soon after.

The speed mushrooms are helpful as are the adrenal ones but I wouldn’t stress over them at the moment.

As long as you have the first of each tier unlocked, that should hopefully be fine. I get a lot of use for Updraft, so I’m suggesting that too. We’ll find out when more details are released for how the raids go I suppose.

From the video they released, we know you will need updraft at the minimum. My guess will be that Itzel poison resistance will be good to have as well since you’ll be fighting mordrem (and some of the poison vines may make an appearance) but Exalted and Nuhoch masteries do not appear to be very important for this one.

That said, I would put money down that when they release a raid in Auric Basin, Exalted Masteries will be very important, and the same will be true for Nuhoch masteries if a raid is added to Tangled Depths. I think the theme will be tied mostly to location, but we will see There’s nothing wrong with having a good spread.
