Think this is a nice suggestion, although it would kill INT warfare hybrids with staff.
Indeed, and it's already poor to use an Int Warfare build with a staff anyway. Stalves have lower base damage than Str 2 handers and Warfare abilities only scale off of Strength, so it loses damage on 2 fronts.
Think most warfare skills are based off weapon damage atm, although I might be wrong. Battle stomp is a STR based spell, but flurry is just 5 regular attacks and battering ram/crippling strike are x% weapon damage. I haven't tested it fully so I might be wrong here. Staves indeed do less damage, especially compared to hammers (I think hammers are way better than all other 2h str weapons for no good reason), but that's what makes it balanced but still viable hybrid. You do less damage, but you still get some powerful melee moves w/o having to max STR and can be a proper spellcaster at the same time. If you want more damage you still need a STR build though. If INT staves warfare did same damage as STR warfare it would be OP. But gutting it completely is also bad, cause it's a fun option that should be viable imo.
