This confusion crops up a lot actually as the tooltips update based on what Weapon you're currently equipping.
Any ability that relies on Weapon Damage (Basic Attack) uses the Weapon's Attribute.
If you're using a Dagger/Spear, then Skills are Finesse based.
If you're using an Axe/Sword/Mace, then skills are Strength based.
If you're using a Staff/Wand then skills are Intelligence based.
If you're using a Bow/Crossbow, then Skills are Finesse based.
There are a few skills that specifically scale off a stat and not a weapon of course.
Chloroform(Scoundrel) scales off Finesse and level.
Tentacle Lash / Flay Skin scales off Strength and level.
There are others of course, that's just a few examples.
