Mastery Question-Pacify, Petrify, and Despair

Thicco_Mode

Are those three masteries worth it? I have despair 3/3 and have definitely seen its value, but I'm not sure if it's the best investment of mastery points.

For petrify, I guess it could be useful, and I've had 1/3 for a while, but again, I'm not sure if there are better investments.

Finally, is it worth it to get pacify? I've never used it and I've seen some people max it while others don't have it at all. would it screw up your flow/tempo if the aar actually triggers? I feel like for certain nodes/abilities where you have to change your playstyle, it might be weird when it triggers sometimes but not always, so your playstyle would be weird. are there any abilities where it counters it really well?

and are deep wounds and assassin' worth it? my main bleed champs are aa and warlock if you want to count his heavy. and are any masteries more useful than assassin?

thanks for any guidance on all of these

i have pacify and i like it. not because of the power reduction (which is unnoticeable) but more for the ability reductions... it helps a bit when you parry Korg\AV and similar because there is a 30% chance they won't be able to shrug of the stun.

I personally don’t bother with petrify and pacify, but despair is amazing, pacify isn’t bad, petrify isn’t the best

thanks for the advice. I'm probably keeping 3/3 despair and go for some points in assassin and maybe pacify if I have extras.

unrelated question, but why is limber useful for aol?

Bc their Specials have a 100% chance to stun you. So when you mess up you wont get stunlocked to death.

They also have a stun chance on their normal attacks.

Don't bother with limber go for maxed assassin

I have 4 points on deep wounds mainly for Warlock and CAIW (others at R4 but don't really use then) and I don't think of change it

Also I have max pacify for mystic dispersion but it's a flex spot, if I want willpower I take it out

I think I'll focus on more general masteries like assassin and maybe the stun ones and then I might look at deep wounds depending on my roster. Thanks
