Titan Quest 2, unlike most ARPGs, makes you pick a pair of Masteries only minutes into your playthrough. There are only four of these available in the current Early Access version, and you can pick six unique combos to determine a specific class fantasy. Even though you have Core skills like a dodge and barrier, Masteries are what give you your bread-and-butter Skills you'll use throughout your adventure.
Here, we'll go over all the Masteries available in the current verison of Titan Quest 2, and what they combine into.
List of all Masteries in Titan Quest 2
As mentioned, each class is a makeup of two Masteries. There are a total of four (as of Early Access) to choose from and combine. More will be added as development progresses. Here is the list of Masteries available as of now:
- Earth Mastery: Combine fire and earth magic to leave the battlefield in ruins.
- Storm Mastery: Take control over the battlefield with the powers of ice and lightning.
- Rogue Mastery: Traverse the battlefield with unparalleled speed, and riddle your enemies with multiple damage-over-time effects.
- Warfare Mastery: Display your expertise in combat, becoming the ultimate warrior.
If you're looking for the strongest one, the meta pick for the first Early Access patch is anything with Storm, which has Ice Shards that let you basically spam-click and autopilot your way to victory.
However, all the Masteries have more than enough juice to clear out the available content (which is just the Prologue and Act 1), even against +5 level enemies if your build is good. Ultimately, therefore, it's a good idea to pick a pair of Masteries based on what seems cool to you (not "cool" as in "Ice Shards!").
Here's a brief overview of what each Mastery has to offer in Titan Quest 2:
Earth

- Many of your abilities and modifiers revolve around setting the battlefield ablaze and engulfing your enemies in flames.
- Utilize fire in a controlled manner, or completely let go of any regard for safety and sacrifice your own health in favor of maximum destruction.
- Cause enemies to burn over time.
Storm

- From area of effect abilities that regularly deal damage, to modifying abilities and electrocuting enemies on hit, fighting with the power of Storm will result in a battlefield full of thunder and lightning.
- Use ice abilities to chill or even freeze your enemies, giving you total control over what happens in the next few moments.
- Utilize lightning to shock and electrocute your enemies, locking them in place.
Warfare

- Warfare features attacks for all weapon types, giving you significant freedom to design your build.
- This even includes abilities specially designed for ranged weapons other than magic staves. A warrior can be a juggernaut wading into the fray or one who specializes in attacking from afar.
- Support abilities help with getting into and staying in close combat, such as by leaping into battle or stunning enemies nearby with a powerful stomp.
Rogue
- Rogues prioritize DoTs over direct damage. Multiple passives and almost all of their active Skills utilize bleeding and poison (i.e. Plague).
- Rogue also uniquely gives you the Doom status effect, which is a delayed-detonation mechanic that inflicts Vitality Damage based on the number of stacks, but only inflicts it when the stacks expire.
- The flavor of the skills is, as expected, cloak-and-dagger - you have a Grenade, a thrown blade, and the classic Mark for Death, which has multiple synergies with other Skills.
- At higher Divinity levels, you also unlock Flicker, the fastest mobility skill in Titan Quest 2 at the time of writing. However, the high cooldown means you don't really get to use it to navigate the map as much.

Coming to the Classes in Titan Quest 2, there are currently six combos you can spec into:
- Battlemage: Earth + Warfare
- Tempest: Storm + Warfare
- Stormblade: Storm + Rogue
- Elementalist: Storm + Earth
- Ashstalker: Rogue + Earth
- Reaver: Warfare + Earth
Since the game has just been released in Early Access, Masteries and classes are very limited for the time being. You can expect more Masteries to become available over time, and as such, the number of Classes in Titan Quest 2 you can choose from will also increase.
Can you change your Masteries in Titan Quest 2?
At the time of writing, Titan Quest 2 does not have any way to change Masteries in its Early Access version. In the first game, changing Masteries was not a feature that ever got added to the game - you could only ever do it with third-party programs.
THQ Nordic has also never given any indication that the option to change Masteries will be granted in Titan Quest 2, but in the Moirai's Codex, a Mastery entry called "Unblessed" might tease the possibility of this option.
