Is Willpower worth it?

Depends entirely on whether or not you’re going to get the suicide masteries.

What if I am not interested in that?

You have to have will power if you run suicides. I rarely run suicides so I don't use will power. I used to have it when I was newer and it was nice if an opponent bleed or poisoned you but at a certain point you don't get hit much so will power isn't that useful or if you do get hit there's so much damage will power won't help. Also it requires a lot of points in defense to unlock. I'd say it's nice when you are new and still learning how to play, it can help cover up some mistakes but in the long run it's not worth using. Just my two cents anyway. Good luck.

@Whathappened I understand. I am a fairly new player to MCoC. I have the points in defense, and enough units to spend on it. However, what other masteries would you recommend besides willpower? (Other than dexterity and parry because I already have those.)

Put 1 point in every mastery (except for that one which generates more gold) and go as far as possible until you reach the class mastery.

Then decide what your champs are and how you play. If you have many champs you actually play with that rely on fury, then more points in fury maybe possible.

If you place in AW defense, champs which shrugs off debuff, more points on limber means catching the naive attacker off-guard.

There is no one size fits all mastery setup.

It's good for low to mid tier players, but when you get higher up a combo is going to take you out in most forms anyway, so no need to get back the occasional HP you'll lose to a DoT debuff. You've mentioned Dex and Parry but also make sure you have picked up Precision and Cruelty as they're far more valuable than WP.

Will do @ArcDeAngelus. Thank you for the information @winterthur.

1 in WP is sufficient and it provides a monstrous pi boost if you do arena often. I've run the offensive no WP setup for a couple of months but went back to 1 WP.

Act 4 Chaos nodes, yes.
But no suicides, no wp imho

I'd recommend glass cannon for sure. other depends on you roster. if you use bleed champs like x23 or blade, might benefit a lot from deep wounds maxed. can throw one point in assassin, if opponents much stronger then you are. sometime before I'd consider MD, but not it is nerfed, so it is almost as bad as other class masteries and I'm waiting to get points I threw in it before.
maxing stun time is always a good option for me. maybe max limber for aw defance

actually I had 1 WP point when uncollected gully happened, that's when I changed my mastery and never wanted to go back to using WP - imo even plain attack increase would help more

Yes just for the minor regen on an armor break or similar, also to me needed for inequity and resonate.
