Semi Pure Nature petmancer

[Claudius]

PS4 TQ AE with Atlantis

I'm working on a Nature petmancer and I intend to do up to Normal Act 5 as pure nature.  Then I might mix in another class if I end up taking the character further.

My first thought was to use intelligence based caster gear since I would use a staff that increases damage from pets.  But I won't need the intelligence to increase the damage from mundane LMB staff attacks.  So I am rethinking stats.  Maybe raise intelligence just to equip high tier staffs that boost pets.  The rest could go into Dexterity to equip dexterity armor or even Strength to equip strength armor and shields.  Stat stick spears or other weapons is also an option.  Or I could just raise health with spare points.

If I take another mastery for epic/legendary it's likely to be Spirit for Soothsayer.

Thanks

You don't really want strength as pet bonus items are only on jewellery and staves so wouldn't be using shields or melee weapons.

Usual is just enough dex to equip items and the rest into intel.

Yes I thought exactly what you said at first.  But then I thought say (suppose) I need 500 int for caster staves and armor.  So what to do with spare points above 500?  Raising to 600 int would only help LMB mundane staff attacks.  If I go Soothsayer after normal I guess it could help ternion's damage which I could spread Shen Nong relic reduce resistance.  Or I could put it into health or energy.  Or I could put it into Dexterity for more DA and option to equip dexterity armor or stat stick spears like phorko's trident.
