My "friend" and I were Arguing over this

a scarab is a 2-3 avrg base w.atk higher than a skanda. so the scarab user would have to get 85dex minus the 3 w.atk advantage from equips which can get dex but not luk in order to match a skanda user.

with earring luk scrolls out the only equips a skanda user can't take full advantage of are shoes, zhelm, HT pendant and face accessories, considering the 2 are beyond godly the difference would look like this

helm (35 possible) + pendant (22 possible) + shoes (15 possible) + face (10 possible) = 82 dex

if the scarab user gets 3 dex from something such as scrolling first slot on earrings for dex, everything else could be luk equips which would make the scarab user stronger.
but thats not realistic, realistically average people would have something like this
helm-25 pendant-2 shoes-6 face - 5 = 38 dex so he'd have to get the rest of his dex from other equips

which would make skanda better for the average person but giving a scarab user higher potential. at least until much higher lvls where like 10 luk = 1 w.atk but my hermit is only 85 so i cant tell you what lvl that is, but i know its pretty high O.o
