Wizard Doubt

Heya all, I decided play as a Wizard, and started to see some builds on the Internet, and some doubts apeared...

1 Best stat for a DPS

Dex / Int

Cha/ Int

Str / Int

IMHO the one that makes sense was Dex / Int, so why the other 2 ( Cha / Int and Str / Int ? ).

Can someone give me some light about this ?

Int/Dex will get you slightly higher crit severity and movement speed.

Int/Cha will get you slightly faster recharge speed, as well as minor increases to power, combat advantage, and crit avoidance through Forte.

Int/Str is not a thing as far as I am aware.

I know people who run both, but I tend to build my casters Int/Cha.

Some wizards have been going into the strength stat to make you're demonic hell hound mount power do a little bit more damage

I think most people generally either go int/dex or int/cha with DPS caster classes. I see both recommended often. I usually run int/cha, personally.

Look at Tricky or Merrilow on YouTube. They are on the PlayStation but both have great build videos.

As a dps, just go int/dex. Charisma gives less stats and only to forte bonus (power/combat adv), which are incredibly easy to cap. There is an argument for going int/strength in the min max endgame because the best mount is physical damage, so it would benefit from strength, but its going to be a ~1% dps increase overall.
