Is It Time For MD?

After getting sorcerer today and seeing that my mystic is my second strongest class, i thought it might be time to invest in MD.

Current masteries:





I only have 57 mastery points as i have not explored Act 4.2/3. In working on it, although those points are probably going to be for Resonate.

This is my desired setup:

Removing all Glass Cannon, a point from courage, and reducing assasins to 1. As well as Removing 1 from salve.

So is 3/5 MD enough? I have just short of a million loyalty so this change should be easy-ish.

If it isnt enough, then ill use an Act 4 point to raise it to 4 or ill do 4/5 DW.

Thoughts?

    I notice a big difference from 2/5 to 3/5, but of course 4/5 is a little better. You should be fine with 3/5 though.

    3/5 MD is good, a lot better than 0 imo

    Yeah you’ll definitely want at least 3, I personally run 5/5 and would hate to be any lower. Had it that way for years and it just works for me. But sorcerer supreme is a champion that wants to be throwing specials as often as possible, so it’ll be a massive help to her.

    Im leaning towards 4, but i do not want 5. Too much power in some cases, and just... Too expensive.

    I think 4 is perfect, as someone who ran 3 for a while and only recently went on to 4. It’s much smoother to use champs like Sym Supreme

    I would honestly only leave one point in salve, I get that it’s healing, but the percent impact it has on health of 5/6*s is so negligible compared to so many other masteries. Just my take.

    I need the point for willpower.

    You need at least 15 points to get access to MD, if I remember correctly. It has been a while since I changed my mastery set-up.

    I have 3/5, that's the sweet spot. You don't want too much power either.

    I run 4/5 with suicides. It's eats up most of my 'fun points', but it does make mystics far more enjoyable.

    The bump to 4/5 was noticeable, but mainly for SymSupreme. 3/5 should be fine.

    Ahh, always forget about that. I put mine in the block proficiency one I think, but yeah, wish salve were somehow based on percentages. Even like 0.1% would make more sense but not be gamebreaking

    Your desired setup if fairly close to my standard build. I don't typically run anything in coagulate, run resonate, don't run anything in assassin, and run 4 points in MD though.

    3 or 4 points in MD mostly depends on how often you use mystics and which mystics you use. I absolutely loathe using Sym with anything under 4. Most other mystics can operate just fine with 3 in most situations.
