I could maybe see your second idea of swapping the scaling for your stat of the highest elemental scaling being a thing, but halved. In other words, were it wind, the scaling for one of the weapons would end up 25% STR, 25% CEL and 50% WIL - the numbers may need to be adjusted, since three stat scalings can end up being worse overall (were this part a thing, I imagine it wouldn't hurt if defensive stats were allowed in).

Strength, however, is already a suffering stat as it is. Granted, it does give birth to some nice fire builds, but it's still a topic of debate that it should get something little extra - that's something for another topic, but I don't see much reason to make it even less prominent.

If the issue is the lack of variety and dedicating itself to cinder builds, I don't know why we'd change the ones without the STR scaling. This isn't a bad suggestion, but it's scaling shift aspects maybe could be lent elsewhere, such as the weapon shift tomes, which to my understanding, are suffering (don'tquotemeonthatplease).

That's my two cents, anywho.
