why would a fighter use a staff = [BG3] because he wants to cast Bless and don't overwise have that spell... yes its in the game
[BG2] because the fighter is also a thief and staff allows backstab [BG1] the +3 staff is one of only 3 weapons that have better than +2 magic and not cursed + you don't have to kill Drizzt
[any game] from a role playing view your Fighter just wants a staff because you feel she should
Sure ...
But if you remember your own original question was:

So ... im a little lost here. At first you were comparing effectivity of two highly uneffective classes ... and then you stated that it doenst matter that they are effective, since the simply "feel they should do this" ...
I dont say that Fighter "cant" use staff ... I say that if we are talking about reasons to play Fighter (wich WAS your original question) ... then we should not concider highly uneffective ways to play them, since there is better question: Why even do that?
You demand your Fighter to use staves? You demand your Wizard to have 14Str and bashing enemies heads with his staff, rather than learn Shocking Grasp and attacking your meele enemies with possibly much better Int modifier, and advantage if they have metal armor? Sure you can ... nobody is going to stop you ...
Just dont complain they sucks ... they do, and its your doing, not their fault.
I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are!
