Like, Marauder's is "Hack", and for Lancer its "Thrust" and specifically requires a polearm. And for Conjurer's staves, that attack is 'Spirit Dart'...
so unless theres an attack that specifically calls upon whacking the enemy with a staff/rod, it wont be an option at all.
edit: in a sense i think its cool that mages finally don't physically attack to attack. kinda reminds me of old skool FFs where those who wear wands just make it flash and it does damage.. or Garnet in FF9 with the rackets
