If the mastery cap doesn't get raise past 300, I don't think there'll be a point in making any other builds beside a pure str. Cause a nuker without light tree or fire tree or even a weapon tree really sucks. With the cap raise to like lets say lvl100 while the mastery is still at 300...pure str glavies woud usully owned the whole server, you'll think? Pure str bladers would e the second owning build...I think. Cause with the mastery at only 300 a pure str can still be good with just fire tree and a weapon tree. While a pure int needs atlest light tree and a weapon tree (sword for kd,sd-spear for stun and kb) but without fire tree the damage is very weak agaisnt a str, but if they choose fire tree over light tree....lost my thoguhts there. So what do you guys think? I really hope they increase the mastery lvl. But I really like the pure int s/s and spear dual weapon build so much lol I might just stay a lvl-umm whats 300 divided by 4 trees? oh 75...yea I would just stay at lvl75 lol and start making a pure str. Sure I wont hit the cap but lol atleast im the strongest lvl75 int out there...maybe... So any of you guys thought abouut this...I'm sry if this is a lame post.

I wrote a post not too long ago about the masteries and skill trees...

By only being able to max 2 masteries, you're forced to choose your weapon skills, and a force of your choice.
The weapon is self explanatory... You get its passive and its skills. But the forces are whats going to make the game different and more even.
If you choose Fire for your force, you're deciding on doing lots of damage since fire is the strongest. In return, you are sacrificing speed and defense. Good for STR based characters because of the buffs.
If you choose Lightning for your force, you're deciding on relying on speed and doing decent damage. Good for INT heavy characters because of the buffs.
If you choose Cold for your force, you're deciding on defense over damage and speed. Good for both INT (because INT has low hp) and STR (because you can be a beast of a tank) based characters.
If you choose Force for your force, you're basically the odd-one out, but a key player in guild/job wars as you would be a healer/resser. You get no buffs or imbues, no cool damage spells, etc. But if you look at a lot of other online games, healers are meant for healing... not dealing damage.
As far as STR and INT goes, I'm not sure what they want you to do with those... maybe they want you to go hybrid, maybe they don't care. It's all up to you I guess.
So you see, Joymax not trying to piss you off, they're trying to make a more balanced game where everybody has their own thing, rather than everyone using the SAME buffs and the SAME nukes and the SAME everything just to see who can hit harder. Does that mean I like the idea? Not necessarily... but it will make the game more interesting for sure.
EDIT: The above is based on 150 cap. At 90 cap you can max 2 masteries PLUS your weapon mastery with the lvl 90 cap (and still have 30 mastery points left).

Forever an Avalonian.

This is only going to be a problem with updated skills past the 100 cap update. Until then, you can have 3 trees.
For me, this discussion is something to much into the future talk. I am now prepping myself for the 90 cap update and new skills. Besides that, I didnt even reach the 80cap yet >.<
