Does intelligence effect elemental damage?

Does intelligence effect elemental damage? For example; does Intelligence increase the damage from Elemental Hit? Just wondering because I'm thinking about getting a lot of intelligence for my Templar if it does. Thanks in advance!

No, it does not increase elemental damage.

To find out exactly what each stat does, press C to bring up your character sheet, and then mouse over your stats (STR, DEX & INT) in the upper right.

Off the top of my head I think INT increases energy shield and maximum mana.

I understand that I can view the character screen to see some of the things that the stats do, however, isn't it true that that page doesn't mention everything that a particular stat does? I'm asking this because when I hover over Intelligence with my mouse, it doesn't say that it gives additional crit chance, which I'm under the impression that it does, correct?

No, it doesn't
what exactly does this mean then?

"Intelligence confers knowledge – of both arcane magic and deadly combat techniques. It is represented on weapons through improved critical strikes."

Meaning Int based weapons (ie daggers) have higher inherent crit chance. Also, Increased Critical Chance support gem is a blue Int gem.
