However, much of the damage is not caculated when you have other buffs/skills activated. Espeicaly DOT damage.

Dexterity does indeed increase Bow damage however Strength appears to increase it as well.
1) All weapons which inflict Piercing damage appear to gain damage increases from both Strength and Dexterity.
2) Weapons which do non-Piercing damage appear to only gain increases from Strength.
(This does not apply to a Staff)
3) Any weapon which does an Elemental damage type in addition to its Physical type can gain increased damage for that weapon by also increasing Intelligence.
4) A Staff appears to only gain damage increases from Intelligence. If a Staff does an additional type of Elemental damage, each type is affected seperately by your Intelligence and then added in.
What I'm not sure of is how much of each attribute is required to increase Average Damage, for its respective weapon type, by 1 point.
I agree more information is needed. If this is not to be reflected on screen through some means then it needs to be documented thoroughly; hopefully in the manual with examples. I sincerely hope the purchase of a Strategy Guide will not be required to gain this basic information.
When shopping at a Merchant make sure to try equipping different weapons as well as other items before finalizing the purchase by closing the Vendor window. As long as you don't close the window you can sell the Items you try back to the Merchant for what they cost.

I have these turned on but when they appear they are in a thin, faint, yellow text. It would be nice if they stood out a bit. Perhaps a bold font is needed.
I'm also curious as to how they are determined. I'm a Pyromancer and was testing a Bow I found. My average Damage is 35, Attack Speed 71, DPS 25. I fired one shot and the text appeared indicating a Critical, it was 25 point something. It always appears to be the same number.
