Undead Drake = Magic Talent (really? and also why?)

[Jaqen H'ghar]

I recently unlocked the Undead Drake talent tree and set out to make a new Wyrmic for it.
When I got the category point to unlock it I saw that all its talents are based on Magic. Not even does the damage scale with magic, also you need magic to level up the talents.
So seriously wtf is this tree supposed to be? Are you expected to level up magic for only one talent tree while all your other talents use will?

Two of the skills (Raze and Infectious Miasma) will scale off your mindpower if it's higher than spellpower, which makes them somewhat usable. Vampiric Surge would be better if Wyrmics didn't start with Fungus unlocked, though it's not bad at keeping yourself healed when your regen infusions are on cooldown. Necrotic Breath is trash unless you focus on magic which is not worth it.

Overall, it's a pretty lackluster tree, and I'd recommend staying away from it unless you specifically build for it.

EDIT: Apparently I read the description for raze wrong, because it's extra darkness damage every time you deal damage rather than just on weapon attacks. In that case, a staff wyrmic who boosts darkness damage and wears the elemental fury ring could do incredibly well with 8 separate darkness damage procs each attack that get the staff accuracy bonus. Combine that with skills like ice claw/wing buffet/dissolve and you could easily melt crowds and individual mobs on normal.

this is just a guess:

it has nothing to do with balance, but everything to do with how everything undead-related being arcane powered.

ya this game does have quite a few things that are underpowered because Lore.

Works pretty well on an Adventurer-styled-necromancer, though.

well ya thats basicly saying that this custom made build for it works great XD
specaily it you use your mind to carry a second staff for even more damage.....
