+ damage early in the game (1-30) gives you a huge boon to your overall damage. In nightmare you will want to focus more on +int stats because it attributes to overall defenses such as resistances.
Why is attack speed not good? Is there confirmation somewhere that skill damage is based on weapon damage, not weapon dps?
Skill damage is based off weapon damage, cast speed is based off attack speed. Since we use mana, getting a fast weapon uses more mana to do the same dps.

Huh? Getting fast weapon will make you use more mana (or rather spend it faster, couse the mana cost stays the same) but you dps (damage per second) will be higher, becouse you're able to cast more spells in the same period of time.
This is what i've experienced, and also what makes sense to me. With more atk spd you do run out of mana faster of course, but at the same time your slingin spells faster and doing more dmg in a shorter time frame. I've been trying to get atk spd on anything i can because I enjoy being able to shoot darts real fast or chuck fire bombs alot at a time, of course, thats not a primary or even secondary stat that I look for. Its all playstyle if you ask me
On topic, I've been stacking Int/Vit. as much as possible, and if I get an item that has Str. as well.. all the better!
