So.
Here is my question.

While pure int is a basic option for getting good damage and skills, Dex increases the crit chance and base damage. This base damage ALSO helps figure out the skill damage.
What exactly would be the perfect point assignment for a lv55 enchantress to get the most damage possible, and would the Mage end up using staffs or recurves?
Doesn't int also affect the damage output of staffs? Crazy complicated scenario here. We can look at it from 2 points of view: skill damage and base damage. While super high skill damage (around 400!) is awesome, being able to dish out 200+ damage per second is key too. Crits also happen more often for auto attacks since they go off more often than skills. And we are not even getting into the possibility of aoe damage...

For the sake of cost , let's also say we are not just using the best gear, which would be gemstone staff set or the raid recurve set. Try... A gem blast staff set and a raid autobow set. (still decent and easier to get off CS) or if you think you can maximize damage thru crits or pure power by lower rarity items, even better.
