It would do more damage. When you look at handling the ex / sav content, there's a lot of int potion usage which makes for some good bursts. Keeping INT off the weapon keeps things under control. It's not just to keep the fight from going too fast, but also allowing the tank to hold aggro. All it would take is one poorly timed burst to get the group cleaved and wiped.
