What i think i hate most about these formulas is it always seems to come out to, in my head at least, and i am no math major, that Total Damage Increase Due to LUK = Total Damage Increase Due to Watk, which doesnt seem to make any goddam sense to me. Everytime i run the numbers i fail at proving this mathmatically, and thats simply because if i tried to show, starting with the example of 500 luk, 90 watk, or hell, to make it simpler, 100watk and 500luk, the trying to convert all my luk into watk like you did for one point comes out to max damage of like 49.75, of course i realize that the ratio changes everytime i change the luk, so i realize where im wrong, but it still always bugs me.
Also, you might want to mention in the comparing Top/bottom to overalls that 10/30% overall add 5, whereas top/bottom add 3 each(both have 60/70 that add 2). And that means that any thief overall(such as female avenger, or the Bosshunter one) has a higher potential stat outcome then anything, because you may get +50 added to overall ( 10 * 5 ) whereas with top and bottom you can only get + 42 ( 7 * 14 ) added, the only benefit to top/bottom is that generally, they turn out better on average due to the extra slots, and the fact that people dont try to land 10/30s on every slot, making the top/bottom catch up in number of slots. Also note that there are no 10/60s for Top/Bottom dex, or luk, meaning more likely self scrolling will go disaterously. This also makes it more likely someone will have white scrolled and overall then top/bottom. And besides, the difference between Sauna/Bathrobe and Pirate top/bottom is also due to the fact that pirate gear has stat requirements, whereas sauna's do not, which is primarily why dexless uses them. And why lowdex if they get top/bottom go for some much lower level bottoms, at least, such as Brown China bottoms.
