Hi all

I'm fairly new to the game. My Mage is at level 26 and I'm 100% int but I've been wondering, since when fighting in groups I rarely even use my normal attack and tend just to go with constant use of AoE spells as they do much more damage I'm starting to wonder why I'm bothering with int at all

Is it worthwhile switching to str or dex so I can wear gear with better armour?

Also what actual effect does int/str/dex have on my actual stats?

Any help is much appreciated as always
