If you are using a spear, Warfare skills receive a bonus from Finesse, rather than Strength; it should say in the tooltip when the damage is based on the weapon (in the Special section).
Whaaat? So a mage can do Whirlwind with a staff and get Int bonus?
I have noticed the note in skill and book description, but I thought its a bug in the description.


Unfortunately the dps on staves are painfully low, so you hit like a wet noodle. On top of the fact that even with Aerothurge, trying to get through Magic Armor is a pain due to said poor weapon dps and also because of enemy elemental resistances causing you to do anywhere from 20%-100% less damage or perhaps even healing the enemy.

Hybrids are sub par at best right now.
