Scrap the “Master Circle” idea. By the sound of it we would need to invest yet another rank to make some of the early classes worth the pick.
Just rework classes as needed as you did with Ranger, Pyromancer, Druid, etc., (more damage, reworked skills and attributes, new skills and attributes as needed), and then add C3 R10+ attributes to ALL of them. This solves the problem of them being possibly too strong too soon, which was your main worry since forever.
Please don’t wait and try to fix classes like Scout and Rogue with an extra circle alone…
Unless you plan to make the Master Circles a Rank-free update (limiting each character to only 1 Master Circle or something).
