As far as scaling is concerned, all elemental damages scale with INT and the corresponding elemental skill - fire damage scales with Pyro, water with Hydro, and so on. Staves are the elemental counterpart of 2H physical weapon, if you really want to use a melee elemental weapon, but you know they require INT.
If a STR weapon does only elemental damage, that damage would scale only with your elemental skill and INT instead of STR. So it's kind of pointless that it would require STR to wield, because you would need INT to increase your damage output.
