Mortissimo is often only abused by races that scale well from SAN such as Glykin, lich etc. so that they may build for their racial instead of into a damage stat, as a result of this, Mortissimo's 85% SAN scaling really just makes it optimal for dealing decent damage as other martial artists.
But I don't think this is inherently a bad thing, building for your racial can be quite fun, many tomes scale a huge portion of your SAN, up to 75%+ even, and mages tend to be easier to build than melee fighters, due to the mortissimo's 85% SAN scaling, it will never live up to the SWA of a normal fist weapon which can achieve much higher results, really just making it so that Mortissimo is a low/medium damage fist weapon when compared to the likes of rebelling brawler's glove or needler.
Personally, I think that Mortissimo's scaling is fine, due to it's low SWA on these builds, but due to a previous rant I do think that STR should have some worthwhile in most melee fighter builds, and as I stated, STR won't need any buffs if its tied to physical weapon scalings, as it'd be the weapon scaling stat.
60/45 sounds like a fine start.
