I'll say that my experience wasn't quite like yours. I've played 3x now to try different builds. I'll say that I've made a warrior and wizard whose damage was simply fantastic. My only complaint is yes, rogue might have done a bit more. I do think that is because of the bugs deadkngiht mentioned, and the current balancing issues with elf racials.
I think your complaint about magic is simply not leveling up Aerothurge. It doubles your damage gains during the magic armor phase (10% per point vs 5% for intelligence), and when you factor in the AoE abilities plus flesh sacrifice, Sebille can fully delete 1-3 targets even at level 7 as a wizard.
I don't want to get too much more into the class balancing because you hit on a point that just seems to weird to me that we're even having the discussion. The bonuses for some skills.
Unless there are soft caps coming, there is simply no reason to put additional points into Huntsman/PyroKinetic/Scoundrel/Geo. Polymorph is your benchmark in this. You will always get at least 5% from your stat attribute, plus its secondary bonus (physical armor, dodge, and magic armor respectively). Even beyond that, for a warrior/rogue/archer, the weapon abilities apply in ALL scenarios, whereas the skill ones have some caveat. With Aerothurge and Warfare, this makes sense - you want some armor destruction to get into that sweet CC zone. THere's an interesting balance there - am I melting armor too fast? Then I'll put the point into weapons. Can I not quite do it in 1-2 hits? I'll put it into aero/warfare.
5% more damage on the highground vs 5% more damage ANY time is just a no brainer.
I'm not sure I agree with summoning. I'm 8 points in now and my incarnate still seems about useless. Ignored and ignorable. The totems are absolutely beasting. 2ap for potentially 120+ points of damage over time. I feel like the incarnates aren't getting the summoning buffs from the skill up. 8 points and whirlwind still deals 16 points of damage? At level 7? That's just ... nothing. It feels like a bug there somewhere.
