    It doesn't matter what order. A long time ago there was a glitch with DE and Coagulate where it mattered but that has been fixed.

    Heres a link to a good masteries guide that I've referred back to in the past.

    amp.reddit.com/r/ContestOfChampions/comments/5mnb9t/12_suggestions_for_mastery_setups_2017_update

    Masteries do in a way have an order because you must meet specific requirements in one mastery in order to open the next connected mastery. Basically have to start from the very left side and continue right. Cant automatically place a mastery point on the right side of the "trees" if you do not have any on the left. Have fun!

    That....that isn’t what the guy has asked. New generations really can’t read

    Not to be rude.......but his question could be taken two ways.

    Example; is it better to get parry before dexterity?
    Example; is it better to place DE before you place LC?

    Keep in mind however that for some people, English isn't their first language. So yes, some people could read that differently, or take the question a different way.

    Your "new generation" line makes me believe you're a bitter old man/woman who would tell us uphill in snow stories. What's funny is the old generations really can't accept different things.

    So, first of all mine was a joke, kind of “ah the good ol’ times”, I am 30. Second thing I am Italian, not a native English speaker, but if I read correctly the question was not “in which order should I put masteries” but “does it matter in which order you input masteries?”. While your two possible answers would be apt for the first question, the second one excludes the possibility that the guy would be asking for advice about which mastery opening first. He is asking whether putting one first and one after changes the outcome, as it used to be for example for coagulate and double edge.
    And finally, I teach at the university and yes, most people around 20 now really can’t seem to understand what is written in a text, or being able to express themselves clearly and linearly. It is also true that the same thing was told to me when I was in my 20s so who knows, maybe I am just getting old ahahah

    There really needs to be a joke/sarcasm text indicator, would make it easier to spot jokes.

    These could still me the same thing. "Does it matter" is still asking "what order" because "if it mattered" would mean that there is an "exact order" to place them in the first place.

    That is a round about way (3 different ways of asking the same thing) and isn't the DE AA bug still around so it does still matter, right?

    As someone who works with 15-20yo people it boggles my mind how they can read/text "OMGgurl he is 2G2BT. He was like 831 4EAE. BAE!" But can't read Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.

    Good info for mastery refresher :) Courtesy of Trucos

    15/6/3 CORE

    Every mastery suggestion I provide will have these 24 masteries as a baseline. No matter what your goal is with masteries, these will provide significant benefit in any area of the game.

    MYSTIC OVERLOAD

    If you’re one of those lucky players with a ton of crazy good mystic champs, here’s a Mystic Dispersion build that should cover most of your needs.

    18581897_1613074102044266_6525938343514078080_n.jpg?oh=bc7e0b791493278a01ff6a7c0f71f94c&oe=5A641408


    SQUEAMISH

    If you don’t like taking damage but still want to have a good solid build that can handle most content, here is a non-suicide option for you.

    18582043_1613074068710936_841515188700663984_n.jpg?oh=5a7693e688f57e75edca763fea52f8c0&oe=5AAB6002


    TEAM PLAYER

    AW and AQ are where some of the best rewards are, and most people are going to want to be very competitive in these areas. Attack teams are useful for both AW and AQ (although there are some differences between the two, this build is acceptable for both modes).

    TEAM PLAYER
    DEFENSE
    Good AW Defense

    FOREVER ALONE

    Alliances are a vital part of this game and it’s hard to progress without them, but if you will only be doing solo questing and arenas, without ever joining an alliance, this build might be what you’re looking for.

    18446623_1613074008710942_6840998994607424748_n.jpg?oh=6e7066454b139c0878245ba66e75dacd&oe=5A65C464


    ARENA AVOIDER

    If arenas are not your thing, PI doesn’t matter one bit to you. Here is a solid build that completely removes PI boost from consideration for mastery choices.

    18582578_1613073922044284_5534947020283233622_n.jpg?oh=4cfcc3a95f6340e9084df0759929019f&oe=5AA0FFF4


    ARENA GRINDER

    Arena points are determined by PI, which can be manipulated significantly through masteries. This is one of the highest overall PI boosts you can get, and is heavily focused on ending arena fights as quickly as possible.

    40-POINT BUDGET BUILD

    If you’re still working on getting enough mastery points to go for the expensive setups, this is a decent midgame build without any silver masteries that should help you through most content.
