Class masteries for pure classes

Shown on the livestream and as right now you get to pick 2/5 passives if you run a pure class and I believe this is for U50. I love this idea as some of these passives seem strong and it will incentivize pure classing. These are only screenshots that i took and as far as i am aware, you are not able to view each passive.

I mostly play warden and the glacial cold and hypothermia passives intrigue me.

    I've missed the livestream because it wasen't announced on twitch/X but this looks awesome! Finally i will be able to return to the class i've chosen. Well assuming the passives will be enough to compare to subclassing.

    they should had done this with class mastery scripts for scribbling with class mastery scripts being the 1 ( 3 by end max use of1 at a time ) skill along with 5 ( 6 ,giving two that pin points healing/tanking/dps) passives ( choose 2 to use ) mastery skill line for each class , and giving them a way to work in an class mastery for each of the roles healer/tank/dps ,

    I am honestly really excited to see these.

    One thing I really like about it too is the fact that you can't take all of them at once. It's a great way for us to even further customize our builds.

    Having considered this a lot for PvP and also PvE, I think the idea is great overall! That said, I am worried they may sway it too much the other way and make subclassing not viable vs pure class.

    At present if you subclass you often use 1 skill line. Sometimes 2 for META or specialised builds. Assuming we use 1 subclass only you now add new issues.

    The new skill line must be:
    > As strong skill wise / passive wise as original skill line
    > Provide as much additional power/benefit as the class mastery passives you lose for subclassing
    > Provide the skill types/effects you need/are lacking

    If this is not the case then you end up being at a power imbalance vs a pure class. This then makes it harder to balance PvP or PvE as you need to assume people have a minimum power balance level. The work of subclassing could in turn be lost/gone if not considered well.

    Solution:
    Make each class mastery passive have a rank system:
    Rank I = base class. Always on but at say 20% of the full passive power.
    Rank II = Have 2 base class skill lines. Makes passives 50% of base power
    Rank III = Pure class. Makes passive 100% of base power.

    Thoughts welcome.

    Thanks,

    Most of the pure class masterys either need more oomph or you should be able to pick/slot 3 of them. But thats before the class skill reworks are done. DK rn is just way ahead of everything in PvP (esp Ardent which has build in infinte sustain and crazy burst damage). The only line I consider to subclass away will still be Earthen Heart.
