Since patch 1.2, you can now change your Mastery in Last Epoch. Masteries are basically the subclasses you have to spec into in this game, and before, you were stuck with the one you picked for your character. Now that you can despecialize it quite easily, this ARPG no longer has the rigidity of commitments it used to have. Now you can simply level with whatever Mastery is good for leveling, and then completely change your setup in the endgame.
This article guides you through the process of changing Masteries and a few tips on when to make the switch in Last Epoch.
Changing Mastery in Last Epoch
You can select your Mastery first in the campaign after defeating the Husk of the Elder Pannion, at the end of Chapter 2. Speak with Elder Gaspar in End of Time to select the Mastery you want to play. However, do not lose heart. If you do not like your chosen Mastery, you can change it at any point in the future.

To change a Mastery, interact with a Waypoint anywhere, and then teleport to the End of Time. Here, look for a purple brain icon on the map, leading you to Chronomancer Lerinne.

Interacting with her will provide you with two options: "Respecialize Master Point Allocations" and "Respecialize Mastery". Select the latter, and a window with all the available Masteries for your class will open up.
Simply select the Mastery you want to play now.
When should you change Mastery in Last Epoch?
We recommend holding off on changing your Mastery until the endgame, when you are sure that you want to invest in a specific build. The period between the campaign and standard difficulty Monolith should be your leveling phase, when you utilize the first Mastery.
However, when you empower your Monoliths, you are looking to dive into the endgame, which is also the perfect time to switch to your desired Mastery for the build.
