Using clean weapons with no other equips, no buffs or skills, and only base stats...
Max damage lukless with VIP Staff (999 INT, 23 LUK, 150 MA)
(4 * 999 + 23) * (150/ 100) = 6028.5
Max damage with 165 LUK and Elemental Staff (857 INT, 165 LUK, 178 MA)
(4 * 857 + 165) * (178/ 100) = 6395.54
That plus the benefits of higher level gear for potential bonuses means low-luk is the way to go in the long run, yes?
