Doubts regarding mastery build

I have never been very keen about the masteries I run , apart from the very essential ones.
I was doing some mastery builds on aunt mai and ofcourse I can't get all the masteries I want despite the extra point from necro cause I didn't explore act 4 back in the day. SO I need to portion these things properly.

1) How many points should I put in MD to gain a noticeable amount of power i.e. The least amount to see an increase in performance
2) Is deep wounds worth it if I can put only 1 point?
3) I have always run max petrify, pacify, stupefy and Courage is this necessary or should I pull some points from them
4) Does Assasin even make enough difference to invest points in it?
5) How good is inequity
6) 2 points in despair and 2 in willpower , or 1 point in despair and 3 in will power

1. You want 3 points minimum into MD, but if you run strong mystic defenders, then 5/5 MD is almost required.
2. Depends on who you use.
3. I haven't run pacify in years, and courage is most definitely not worth having more than 1 point in
4. That depends on who you ask, it is very good at making people rage when their herc dies due to assassins AAR in war

5. Extremely good. Well worth having at least 1 point in it
6. 3 despair, 3 willpower. Always max willpower and despair you can sometimes get away with 1 or 2 points, but WoW abs man is a great reason to show why 3/3 despair is so useful.

Here is my everyday mastery build that I use for reference.

@Pikolu could I also get some pointers for the suicide masteries please?

@Pikolu 3 points in salve? I must be missing something about it’s interaction with another mastery or effect.

I like the +5 green numbers 🤣

Most don't run 3/3 Salve.

With the way my points are spread out, I can switch to the recoil masteries this way without touching the other 2 mastery trees which does help save on cost for the masteries when switching.
