Warfare Skills in Divinity: Original Sin 2 are based on your current weapon scaling. These skills are focused around dealing direct damage to the target and increase the team's damage output. Some skills provide heavy crowd control Status Effects such as Knocked Down, Cripple and Taunt.
Scaling: Skills using weapons to deal damage will have attribute scaling depending on main-hand weapon.
When using a staff or wand(s), all abilities that scale with weapon damage are converted into magic damage based on the staff's element or wands element(s) (if dual wielding) and will gain bonuses from intelligence. Please note that this damage does not benefit from warfares leveling bonus of 5% physical damage per combat point as the damage is no longer physical. Also note that many Warfare Skills require a melee weapon on main hand, which Wands are not.

AnonymousIn honour mode, I tried a solo run where I can only attack using bouncing shield. I allowed passive spells like nether swap, death wish, thick of the fight etc... I allowed teleport even though that does damage.
Went pretty well, ****ing murdered by Aetera though.

If thinking shennanigans from magic schools are not for you then let me tell you about simplistic beauty of physical resistances and meele hits. It's perfect

Onslaught scales extremely well with Enrage and can easily destroy opponents in just one turn, even bosses with appropriate gear and talents
Don't forget my fellow casters, these skills can help you bring the pain too with skills like whirlwind and such. They will scale off your INT and turn your staff into a weapon of destruction! Solid skills for every class or roll.

Can't believe Warfare doesn't have a heal anymore (like the old Man-at-Arms). Bleak

The ap cost of Battering Ram(50% damage)/Battle Stomp(60%)/Onslaught(250%/4a2s) should be reduced. Bouncing Shield is a little op, probably should get a nerf. Phoenix dive should give fire immunity for one turn(Creating a small Fire surface is almost useless except for pyro mage, also vendors should be selling this skill at level 4 instead of 9)
I would greatly appreciate it if instead of all the Deal [X] physical damage, we got 100% of 60% of 120% physical damage (Meaning what are the percentages) for the tooltips like the Huntsman skills in the wiki. Thanks.

Why scaling changed to Str/Fin?Isn't the scaling supposed to change depending on the weapon.If you have Staffmthen the scaling is INT,right?

Some of these scale with weapon damage, such as Battering Ram. If you switch to daggers or a staff, you'll get a different tooltip. This is why an Inquisitor (2H+Int+warfare+spells) or fighter/rogue (dagger+scoundrel+warfare) scales well enough to work.

Love it or hate it, but this is the most universally usable mastery, given that almost all skills scale with your melee weapon, no matter what kind.
Strength: 90% of your Skills revolve around Warfare anyway.
Finesse: Warfare skills can backstab and grant your rogue some nice knockdowns. You can also use a spear and profit from the massive range they have.
Intelligence: Everthing deals damage based on the element of your Staff, so if you're not using wands, this opens a ton of new skills for you. Especially a pyro with only 2 points in warfare will deal insane amounts of damage thanks to Spark Striker.
And if you're a tank who mainly just takes constitution, you still get valuable knockdowns and mobility skills to help yourself and your team.
Let alone Bouncing Shield, which is THE must have skill for any tank.
