Base LUK is 81, total LUK is 161 (so +80 off equips) without MW19, 174 with (+5 off the Estaff 8 that needs MW to equip currently). Base INT is 831, total INT is 966 (so +135 off equips) without MW19, 1067 with (+18 off EStaff 8). Kind of average in terms of current gMS standards at such levels given the current Matk system and how it favours LUKless mages.
Dependant on how further balances go (L> LOLFP boosts) and how these figures compare to other classes damage output Archmages (of any AP build) might actually become considerable (definitely not the best but comparable enough to make a difference) attackers in the new world order of Maplestory 2.0 assuming these formulae/figures are even correct. Nexon are heading sort of in the right direction I think, nothing stopping them from doing an about turn and putting on their finest coolface though.
