It's one of the most powerful melee classes in the game and it's currently a better class when compared to Bulwark, Berserker, Arcane Blade, Rogue, Reaver, Mindslayer, & Writhing one. (Melee)
Pros:
• My fave class
• Better version of Zerker
• Easy win, fast as hell can be done in 8-10 hours
• Insta Burrow
• Can autoexplore without "autoexplore" stats/gear
• Only needs 3-4 infusions
• Doesn't depend on sustains
• Unlocked Fungus
• Uses phys/mindpower
• Built in pen
• Lightning Speed
Cons:
• Weakling if you use mindstars instead of a 2h
• Low hp early game
• Survival locked
• 1.0 Combat training
Why do people say Wyrmic is bad/underpowered?
Most people just repeat things that have been said, such as Archmage being the best class/Antimagic is bad because "you miss out on arcane items". Whenever you see someone say Wyrmic sucks always click on their name, check their profile & go to wins to get a grasp of their game knowledge. If it's not in the in-game chat then just ask them for their username. This is a safe way to check if things being said are truly trustworthy or just disinfo/psyops.
Why should I trust your guide?

Race choices
Krog: 5/5 The best race in the game for Wyrmic. Born with Antima. 60 built in stun res and puts every monster talent on cd. Even with it's xp penalty this is the BEST race for ALL melee classes except Sun Pala/Doombringer/Daemon because they need spells
Cornac: 4/5 Best xp means better drops and free cat point
Shalore: 0/5 Weak race in general and can't be Antima
Thalore: 0/5 Great racials for Wyrmic but 35% xp penalty makes this race close to worthless
Dwarf: 3/5 Good racials and decent xp with it's extra dungeon
Halfling: 3/5 Great racials and a decent choice
Yeek: 1/5 Never a good pick if you want to win, but you can get great drops with it's high xp mod if you want to bet on getting hp drops. You can't afford to max con on Wyrmic sadly so your hp is going to be horrible. The racials are also useless except the 4th which is a great talent
Ogre: 0/5 *In 1.6 this will be the 2nd or 3rd best pick* Decent racials but not worth the xp penalty
Skeleton: 0/0 Can't be Wilder
Ghoul: 0/0 Can't be Wilder
Doomelf: 0/0 Can't be Antima
Orc: 5/5 Racial scales with Will
Kruk Yeti: 5/5 All around amazing race
Whitehoof: 0/0 Can't be Wilder
Stats
STR>WIL>DEX>CUN
STR: Always be maxing this
WIL: Max second. MP is important for Nature's Touch/managing equilibrium/AMS early and mid game, and Ancestral Life/Dominate late game
DEX: Max third, it's important for Precise Strikes
CON: Great stat but can't afford to put any points into it on a Wyrmic, Icy Skin will make up for the hp loss though on all races except yeek
MAG: Useless
CUN: Close to useless, but will give some mindpower/crit with your leftover points
Inscriptions
The most optimal inscriptions would be Warrior Heal, Warrior/Psychic Movement, & a mental/phys wild. Warrior Heroism when you unlock your 4th infusion
Prodigies
ICCTW at 30 and Superpower at 42, all others are worthless. Get Superpower at 42 because it gives you a decent damage boost but also gives you the mindpower you need for Nature's Touch, Conversion, Ancestral Life, & Dominate
Escorts
Always try to save the Thief, Warrior, & Ano. You'll always want Track/Device Mastery, Vitality, & Conversion. Once you get these just take +2 STR +2 WIL when you can.
Alch Pots
Foundations>Precision>Brawn>Mysticism
BiS Gear
Helm: Eye of the Forest (For blind immune, good stats of Wyrmic too) Mage hat with triple phys egos(Greater, Greater, Lesser), leafwalker, STR
Weapon: The absolute best would be a Disruption/Cripple/Hateful weapon. Disruption doesn't let the sorcs cast a spell, and +25% living is epic. Murderblade would be your 2nd choice
Armor: Plate of the Blackened Mind (The absolute best for any class that uses mindpower, dominate gives 50% all pen and you can keep it up constantly with Device Mastery), Eyal with +armor +hp (Greater, Lesser, Lesser)
Rings: Bloodcaller (Never take off), Of life with double STR ego (Greater, Greater, Lesser)
Amulet: Shard of Insanity (Lets you use Inner Demons), whatever usually try to fill in your stun/blind immunity or go for crit mult/heal mod
Cloak: +0.40 Combat mastery to make up for their pathetic 1.0 mastery/crit mult (Greater, Greater, Lesser)
Gloves: None all the non arcane glove egos suck, I guess you can also use Spellhunt Remnants if you want
Belt: Ravager ego (+phys pen +phys dam)/crit mult/heal mod (Greater, Greater, Lesser)
Boots: Boots of the Hunter/Unbreakable Greaves
Light: Guidance, All pen/crit mult/heal mod (The best choice)
Tool: It sucks that Blood-hexed is an arcane ego for some reason so just try to get +phys dam/critmult/str/phys pen
Class trees
Technique / Two -handed assault 4/1/3/1-2
Stunning Blow: Get this to 4 first thing you do so you can stun on cooldown. Always open with this on every fight, even when you know the monster is stun immune
Fearless Cleave: Learn to love this. It allows you to move during pins/daze, it lets you chase fleeing enemies while dealing damage, it gives a mini-AoE that is sometimes handy for faster clearing. This is one of the top Wyrmic skills. We don’t put more than 1 because we’re not going to use this for damage in combat anyway
Death Dance: Get this to 3 when you can early on for the bleed, and it'll be one of your main damage moves early on. Decent AoE when you're surrounded
Execution: Get one point into this and use it when Swallow doesn't finish the job, which is rare, it's still nice to have as a backup execute
Technique / Combat techniques 1-3/5/5/5
Rush: Keep at 1 point till you've got all your core shit and you can get it to 3 for the increased range breakpoint if you want. Great initiator
Precise Strikes: One of the best sustains in the game, gives a crazy amount of crit and acc. You'll want this maxed by the mid 40's
Perfect Strike: Max this so you don't miss of course, doesn't have a good breakpoint so yeah just max it
Blinding Speed: Max because it's op to have more speed
Wild-gift / Sand drake aspect 5/1/4/0
Swallow: One of the best damage moves in the game, wrecks shit and goes through shit like Blurred Mortality, you'll want this 5/5 asap
Quake: Use this only if you're desperate to get out of range of a melee monster
Burrow: One of the most overpowered moves in the game and a sick buff. DON'T use this as a buff unless you've already Burrowed tunnels to escape, you'll need as an escape early on
Wild-gift / Cold drake aspect 4/4-5/3/0
Ice Claw: One of your main damage moves, you'll be getting this to 4 early on
Icy Skin: It's a nice sustain but I didn't max it till the very end of the game
Ice Wall: Epic move to keep shit away from you, can be refreshed too. Needs to be 3/5 by at least the second T2 you do
Wild - gift / Storm drake aspect 4/0/0/0
Lightning Speed: Get to 2 ASAP. You'll want 4 points into it around mid game, never intiate with it or chase down monsters unless you're sure you won't have to use it as an escape
Wild - gift / Higher draconic abilities 5/1/1/5
Prismatic Slash: Good damage, will be maxed later on.
Venomous Breath: Worthless
Wyrmic Guile: Horrible talent, but if you're close to Blind Immune you might want to put a few more points into it if you're all out of options
Chromatic Fury: Max this for the 25% all pen, with all pen lantern & dominate you'll be close to 100% all pen late game
Useless Class trees that you don't want to waste points into
Technique / Shield offense: Epic tree but you're not using shields
Technique / Combat veteran: Totally worthless since Wyrmic has both great healing & stamina regen
Wild-gift / Fire drake aspect: Not a single good talent
Wild-gift / Venom drake aspect: Not a single good talent
Generic trees
Technique / Combat training 0/3/0/5/5/0
Thick Skin: Worthless for Wyrmic
Heavy Armour Training: Get to 3 right away to equip Massive armor
Light Armour Training: nah
Combat Accuracy: 5/5 as soon as possible so you never miss
Weapons Mastery: 5/5 as soon as possible to deal damage
Dagger Mastery: nah
Wild-gift / Call of the wild 1/1/1/1-4
Meditation: Good
Nature's Touch: Nice heal to back you up when your heal infusion is on cd
Earth's Eyes: Useful in High Peak
Nature's Balance: It's up to you how many points to put here, but keep in mind you can reset the cooldown of Ice Claw, Swallow, Burrow, & Lightning Speed. So to be safe put 4 points when you've got spare points
Wild-gift / Antimagic 5/1/5/1-5
Resolve: Epic talent, really good for equilibrium and stamina management, needs to be 5/5 by the late 20's
Aura of Silence: Worthless bugged skill
Antimagic Shield: Makes you immune to almost all magic/dots, get a point before entering Tempest Peak and max throughout Dreadfell
Mana Clash: Not worth the turn unless it's a randboss mage, always use it on yourself before entering the Sorcs room
Wild-gift / Fungus 1/1/4/1
Wild Growth: Not worth the point but needed to get to Ancestral Life
Fungal Growth: Not worth the point but needed to get to Ancestral Life
Ancestral Life: Amazing talent that makes regen/Conversion/Nature's Touch instant, 4/5 late game when you have enough mindpower to back it up
Sudden Growth: Nice backup heal
Useless Generic trees that you don't want to waste points into
Wild-gift / Harmony: Not needed, but if you're playing a race like Cornac or a 1/1/1/1 generic race, might as well go 1/1/1/1-5 if you've got 4 spare points
PHYS DMG IS YOUR MAIN DAMAGE STAT
SIDE WITH ASSASSIN LORD TO REROLL EGOS UNTIL THE NERF
T1 Core Talents
4/5 stunning blow, 1 Fearless Cleave, 3/5 Death Dance, 4/5 Ice Claw, 5/5 Swallow, 2/5 Lightning Speed, 1 Execution, Track (Before entering the first T2), 1 Nature's Touch, 3/5 Heavy Armour Training, 4-5 Combat Accuracy, 5/5 Weapon Mastery
Gear
Always be on the lookout for Health>Armor>Stun Immunity (Save these items until you can get around 80-100%) heal mod>Phys dam/pen>Ice dam/pen, and Nature dam/pen
Tips
• Always try to get a mental/phys wild, most chars without them are near worthless because you have to waste a cat point on a mental wild instead of getting an overpowered tree unlocked
• Always look for a 7-8 cd Heal infusion of your main stat
• Always try to find of Eyal massive armor, bright brass lantern of health, learwalker helm, heroic gloves, or resilience cloak. Just having two of these items makes your char way better and it's not worth playing a char who has none of the above
• Always try to get a 40-50 Thorny Skin totem from Zigur and use this as your charm until you've got a decent amount of armor
• Skullcracker charm is always great through the T1s-T2s (Use either Skullcracker/Thorny Skin as your charm until you've found a Psychoport
Stunning Blow>Death Dance>Ice Claw>Swallow>Execute (If Swallow didn't kill em)
T2 Core Talents
Character at lvl 21
Character at lvl 30
Character at lvl 36
After you complete the first T2 you'll probably have enough points to get 2 into Ice Wall right away, get this to 3/5 as soon as you can around this time. Once you get that done with start maxing 4/5 Burrow to make it instant. You can't Burrow in the Maze/Old Forest and it's fine for it not to be insta in SWL, but you'll want to get getting it ready for Daikara/Halfling Complex/Tempest Peak/Dreadfell. After you've got Burrow to 4, start putting points into Higher drac and max the 4th talent so your Ice Claw & Swallow start to deal actual insane damage with the added pen. Prismatic Slash now enters your damage rotation, and should usually be used right after Stunning Blow, 5/5 it. Max Blinding speed next or float some points into Perfect Strike for Dreadfell monsters. As for the generics, start maxing resolve and at least try to get 1 point into Antimagic Shield before doing Tempest Peak, max AMS while you go through Dreadfell and you're going to be immune to most things in there. Also around this point you're looking to become stun immune before the Master/Vor A
Gear
Always be on the lookout for Health>Armor>Stun Immunity (Save these items until you can get around 80-100%) heal mod>Phys dam/pen>Ice dam/pen, and Nature dam/pen
Tips
• DON'T autoexplore the Maze/Old Forest/Halfling Complex (Bone Giant Randbosses)/Tempest Peak (Until Urkis is killed) or the char is as good as dead, use Track in these dungeons
• Always use Burrow to dig zig zags at the entrance of a floor since you shouldn't be fighting more than one monster at a time until you're in Reknor
• If you're ever in trouble just activate Burrow/Lightning speed and zig zag away into the walls and it's almost impossible to die
• Don't use Burrow/Lightning Speed to get from room to room in SWL, even though it's faster it's so much better to save these two for an escape since there's a ton of deadly monsters inside.
Burrow>Blinding Speed>Stunning Blow>Pristmatic Slash>Ice Claw>Swallow>Execute (Add Death Dance when you want if there's more than 2 monsters and Ice Claw didn't kill em)
T3 and beyond
Now you've got most of your core shit you can max things like Perfect Strike, Icy Skin, & Precise Strikes. Once you're done with the Antimagic tree start going 1/1/4/1 in Fungus, max Device mastery last
Gear
You want as much life, heal mod, phys damage, 100% crit, & crit mult that you can get for end game gear

1.6
In 1.6 not much will change, but if you're a Krog/Ogre you'll take the dual techniques tree. When 1.6 is released I'll get my first 1.6 as a Wyrmic and I'll update this, but it won't be much that's changed
Hope you make more of these!
