So this new pure class system…I’ve always hated messing around with builds etc and have been soooo much more confident lately in group content as a healer (previously a DD main) with ol’ reliable Spell Power Cure and Templar core class with arcanist/warden subclasses. I really don’t want to change this build which feels very effective and comfortable.

I changed roles to avoid the stress and pressure of being a DD altogether so my hope is to just stick with what I have now on my healer setup and people won’t get all tetchy and harangue/kick me if I’m subclass healing in a dungeon or trial because pure classing is the new meta with update 50 and I’d be excluded from group content all over again as a healer like I was as a DD😅

My original impression was that the change is to make pure classed builds more equal to sub classed ones rather than rendering sub classes obsolete so hopefully that’s the case?

The goal is to give everyone viable options in how they would like to play. If you want to subclass, the option is there. If you do not want to subclass, class mastery give you addition perk options to make your represented class more viable.

Class Masteries don‘t mess with anything about your Multiclass build. If you‘re happy with your current build and there are no separate nerfs to any of your skills or sets, you‘re fine.
Class Masteries only make Pureclasses better than they were before.
