Polymath

Ascendancy Notable Passive Skill

3% more Damage for each different type of Mastery you have Allocated
Recover 1% of Life on Kill for each different type of Mastery you have Allocated
Recover 1% of Mana on Kill for each different type of Mastery you have Allocated
Recover 1% of Energy Shield on Kill for each different type of Mastery you have Allocated [1]

Polymath is a notable Ascendancy passive skill for the Trickster that grants more damage and life, mana, and energy shield recovery on kill per unique category of Mastery passive skills you're allocated.

The wording specifies that the bonuses are only granted "for each different type of Mastery you have Allocated". Which means that if, for example, several life-masteries are allocated the bonus is only granted once for those as they are the same type.
