@Greever: Thanks for the heightened reflex formula

I made a damage instead of dps comparison because 2 handed and dual wields seemed to have the same swinging speed, and also because the flat damage value is used for skills. That's what makes me disregard 1h/unarmed: even if the regular swinging dps is the same (thanks to a faster animation), the skill damage is halved, which makes 2h or dual wield a better choice.

For melee I'd say Int is the way to go, even if that's counter intuitive. For ranger it's close. Choosing Dex and putting lot of points into ranger strength will give you slightly more damage (this skill is only applied to physical damage). But choosing Int will not cost you any skill point for a damage that is close, and will also boost melee and spells.
@LightningLockey: AE means Aera of Effect, DPS means damage per second.
