Intellect should give spell power/damage

I already deconstructed this two weeks, so I’ll just quote myself.

Intellect REALLY needs to add spell damage. Both Agility and Strength add attack power as a main stat, making the primary start very good for those classes, but Intellect just adds mana and spell crit as a main stat, making it far worse than spell damage.

Strength gives 2 melee AP per point to druids, paladins, warriors, and shamans, and 1 AP to other classes.
Agility gives 2 ranged AP to hunters, 1 ranged AP to rogues and warriors, and 1 melee AP to hunters, rogues, and druids in cat form.
For druids in bear form, warriors, shamans, and paladins, it gives no melee AP, just crit chance and dodge chance.
Besides hunters and rogues, if you use melee, you’re going to want both strength and agility. This is reliant on correct itemization - which I’m not arguing that gear is incorrectly itemized, just stating that most classes are looking at more than one stat still for dealing damage. (And even for rogue and hunter, they’re not just looking for gear that gives agility, but agility and attack power.)

. . . That having been said, itemization later in the game balances it out far more than it is currently sitting at, and tying spell damage to intellect would either have to be so minuscule that it’s essentially worthless, or it would be so good that you may as well remove spell damage on gear, as it’d be far more effective at increasing your damage and your mana pool to simply stack int.
