1. Introduction
With Patch 1.2’s flexibility, you can switch Masteries for a small Gold cost. For leveling, Beastmaster offers the smoothest progression path due to its balance of self and Companion damage. However, Shaman and Druid alternatives are available (see below).
| Mastery | Recommended for Leveling |
|---|---|
| Beastmaster | ✔️ Ideal for fast, safe leveling |
| Shaman / Druid | Viable, but less efficient |
Beastmaster Philosophy
This build leverages Companions and Swipe for strong synergy:
- Swipe applies Bleed to boost Companion damage.
- Summon Wolf and Summon Raptor deal powerful melee damage.
- Summon Frenzy Totem offers massive burst and crit synergy.
