It really depends on your playstyle. Hate to have such a generic answer, but thats the case with DD. Playing on an enemy's weakness (elemental or debilitaion) isn't a requirement in this game. You can usually overwhelm any enemy with raw damage of any type except in rare cases (ie. golems, ghosts, etc.)

This weapon will help with enemies that may have more physical resistance than magick resistances but as you've noticed, it may not really make much difference unless you also gear your warrior with magick + equipment as well.
