The "Bishop Ult vs. AM Ult" thread

LUK adding magic, especially a high amount like 0.8, makes no sense. Under that system, pure LUK would do more damage with Heal than pure INT.

Dex adds a small amount of weapon attack. Luk adds a small amount of accuracy.

It's not illogical to have the secondary stat actually give a worthwhile boost aside from merely allowing the player to equip a weapon.

And .8 isn't all that "high" either. Not when that sort of "height" is required to close the gap on these level 130 lukless weapons.

The LUKless gets weakened by 16 magic. Can you really complain about 16 magic? It could be a lot worse.

I'm not even going to dignify this with a response because you ignored the primary problem with lukless being too strong-- the level 130 wands. The balance between lukless and luk before was tumultuous, but it wasn't really broken. Now it is.

Also notice: your way makes lukless weaker and luk a little stronger than they are now. My way makes lukless the same, but puts luk ahead of lukless. I don't see how you could think your way is a better solution.

ps

Under that system, pure LUK would do more damage with Heal than pure INT.

Assuming the formula is right, I would love to see people go pure luk to do a little more damage in 2nd job and early 3rd, only to pineapple themselves over in 1st and 4th.

In other words, I would put such a build in the same category as HP warriors. Way more trouble than they're worth, practically useless at their peak, then completely useless at respectable levels.
