Is It Worth Putting 5 Stony Mastery Cores Into the Cruelty Mastery?

Practically mandatory after dexterity and crit mastery.

Yes

Both the Greater Precision and Greater Cruelty masteries are a key part of a number of effective mastery setups developed by the community. They increase both your chance to land Critical Hits, and the multiplier to your damage when you happen to land one.
However, as I usually say, I believe this game is about having fun. If you don't think that the effort put in to get the stony cores is worth the enjoyment you would have from having those masteries available to you, then don't buy them. But my experience of the game suggests that I should not only unlock those masteries (which I have), but every mastery. Sort of like how acts 1-4 are already done 100% on my account, and that was before I went for 5.2 completion. Yeah I'm sort of a casual completionist...

@Mathking13 I already have 5 mastery points in precision and i have units ready to buy the cores so it isn’t about the hassle. I just wanted to know if it would have a noticeable benefit to the gameplay and as you said, it is probably better to put points into them both so i will, thank you!
