I have a nature/warrior character and I'm in constant deficit of intelligence points so I just gave up and made warrioring my primary focus

.
I can now lay down the law at level 13 with over 170 DPS
I think more than anything Nature is a hybrid class, if you're going to focus on spell casting and buffs, you'll need a large mana pool (for buffs that cut into your mana pool and to heal your wolf and nymph entourage who'll be doing your grunt work). You'll mostly be wearing leather/copper and not a lot of iron and bronze. So your armor attributes will be limited by your dex and int.
