The logics having classes trading magical and physical attacks would obviously trade properties on the weapons, aka swords gives matk and rods gives patk 
Now all wizards can enjoy getting shut down by stone skin while swordies never miss. not to mention swordsmen can afford to go full con while mages would need to distribute points into dex AND str to do half a*sed damage.
Later on it would be the mages that would QQ about being weak, as bosses later reach around 500+ crit resistance.
