**Combat Masteries [#a56c80d3]

//||Sword&br;Mastery|Axe Masrey&br;
-Recommended Combat Mastery Skill Point Assignment for Dual Wieldnig
--In ES, each Mastery has a strong synergy to another Mastery. For example, 20 points in Sword Mastery and 1 point in Axe Mastery boosts Axes as much as 20 points in Axe Mastery. This is to encourage dual wielding different class weapons.
--This is the table which Mastery you should invest in when you equip a specific combination of weapons. The first three will cover most 1H Melee Weapon combo. Polearm & Spear combo will be good for Pole WW Barbs and Spear WW Barbs (broader choise of weapons). Spear & Axe combo supposes a Melee/Throw Barb with a Javelin and a Throwing Axe (Note: To boost the throwing damage, you need Throwing Mastery).
