I think low-dex win no matter what and only two reasons..
1. Dex also boosts your atk range, but not as much as luk.
2. They too can equip skandas and other dexless claws
I don't know why people leave out the second reason, but it's true. They may not be aiming for them but it's possible.
I'm to lazy to do the math but can someone do this one:
Low-Dex | Dexless
Luk=200 | Luk= 300
Dex= 25 (+100) | Dex= 25
W.atk= 55 Skanda | W.atk= 55 skanda
What's their damage range?
Lowdex - 520-1040
Dexless - 780-1560
L7 is completely independent of dex, 50% more luk = 50% more damage.
@ 4th job the reason normal dex is kinda ok is well... gear adds lots of dex.
If you have a scrolled Zakum Helmet and HT pendant and scrolled shoes and face, as much as ~70 extra dex. None of that can be traded for luk gear. So take that out of the luk difference, and you end up with only losing 55 luk, and being bumped up to a 50+ atk clean claw (10 over the best dexless's avg, 16 over the common Skanda).
KMS is pointing toward adding more dex/luk gear (belt, medal, rings) which could add another 10-15 dex, even, again untradeable to luk.
Gaining 10 atk is worth 55 luk in a lot of cases.
