I was talking about a STR weapon that does only elemental damage, if such a thing exists. You're right though, both the physical and elemental damage on a standard STR weapon scale with STR (and Single-Handed / Two-Handed / Dual-Wielding) rather than INT. Which makes me think, if there really exists a STR weapon that does only elemental damage, the damage probably will scale with STR due to game mechanics.

I believe the purpose of "STR skills that deal magic damage" is so that a STR char can do some significant magic damage now and then when the situation is right, instead of just pure physical all the time. And so there are not a whole lot of such skills. You're still supposed to be physical-damage-oriented when you're going with STR build.

Get Skin Graft, so you can reset all your cooldowns once. That way at least you can spam those skills one more time without waiting for cooldown.
