• i]Discover how you can further focus your builds with the new Class Mastery system. [/i]
• Arriving with Update 50 on June 8 as part of Season Zero, Class Mastery is a new way for you to further hone your builds while also being rewarded for your steadfast dedication to your class.
• Introducing a new passive skill line for each of the game’s seven classes (each containing five unique passive abilities), Class Mastery allows you to lean into the mechanics that make your class and build special.
• As mentioned above, each class gains access to a skill line with five new passives, but you receive only two Class Mastery Points total—you must choose which passives to activate based on your desired playstyle.
• Many of the new passives buff or expand upon the abilities already found within a class’s skill line. You can see the Class Mastery passives outlined below, but be warned, there’s a lot here to take in!

✨ New Features

• Greetings! The Combat Refresh team would like to give a quick update on what to expect for the Werewolf refresh coming to the PTS next week. We’ve been hard at work making sure it’s up to snuff and we’re very excited to let you sink your teeth into all the new stuff that’s been updated! To recap, he
