Not sure if this was intentional, but my mastery ranks seem to have calculated themselves from my DR2 ranks as opposed to my DR3 ranks.
DR2:
Highest Ranged:
Heavy Thrown: 696
Heavy Crossbow: 613
Highest Melee:
Halberd: 616
Brawling: 614
DR3:
Highest Ranged:
Heavy Thrown: 696
Heavy Crossbow: 613
Missile Mastery: 692
Highest Melee:
Polearms: 692
Brawling: 614
Melee Mastery: 615
Would seem that the adjusted Melee Mastery for DR3 should come in at 653, but maybe I'm just being greedy and trying to milk more free ranks haha.
Thanks for all the hard work by the way, really enjoying all the new abilities so far.
Only 1 mastery is grandfathered the other is based off your top 2 skill averages, with extra bonus bits able to go into the other mastery IIRC. I have 2HE and HT as my 2 highest weapons in the 420s range. My 2nd to 5th highest are SE,HE, & Brawling but they are all half as much at most as 2HE so it grandfatherd up my melee mastery to circle requirments. Being I don't really train more then 1 ranged weapon I ended up with a nice melee mastery also in the 420s but my ranged mastery is like 220 even though my HT is in the 420s. Makes me wonder if this would be even possible to have such a lower ranged mastery if you only trained 1 ranged weapon.
If I trained from the start of 3.0 and I had got to 420 ranged with just 1 range wouldn't ranged mastery be closer to 350+ if not 400 or more? From what I see melee mastery is training just as fast as I train 2he does at the same levels at this point without using any other melee weapons. They both lock near the same time. Now if I had 2 ranged skills high I'd have range mastery higher and melee mastery lowered etc. Ranged mastery is locking faster then HT.. but its 200 ranks lower.
It seems a strange thing. Yes free ranks for ranged and melee mastery (for everyone) and Barbs get more free ranks from 1 mastery to meet circle requirments assuming the top 2 skills arent already equal and they would have gotten them anyway... In my case I got 420 ranks in melee mastery but if it had been an average of my top 2 melee it would only have been in the like 320s and I'd be stuck backtraining a long while so I got 100 free ranks about from that to meet min circle requirments. So guess that makes up for the 100-200 ranks more or so I would have in missle mastery from a higher HT skill.
Yea yea I know other barbs will harp on me for not training every weapon near equal. Okay I'm lazy.
