I haven't tried CSP against the Crimson Drake specifically, but when I'm specked for using int (helm, ring, power within), I usually get off about 1400 damage per normal casts, 1800 for Crystal Catalyst. Yes. It pwns bosses. My toon has 45 int, and I'm getting these numbers in NG+3 (4th playthrough), so your mileage may vary.

The problem is you only get 4 of these per game. If this is your NG+, you may, or may not, be able to have up to 8 of these.

Lingering Dragoncrest makes your Sunlight Blade last longer, BTW. I always use Enchant+Power Withing+Lingering against bosses. I just don't see any way that's more viable.

For gear, I alway shoot for 50% equip load. Fast roll for PvE is overrated.
