Damage = multiplier * w. att * LUK
Damage/multiplier = w.att * LUK
(w. att + 1)*LUK - w. att*LUK = LUK
w. att*(LUK + 1) - w.att*LUK = w. att
Increasing your w. att by 1 will add LUK times a multiplier damage. Increasing your LUK by 1 will add w. att times a multiplier damage.
Let's make a ratio, shall we?

LUK/w.att[/COLOR]
This is the easiest formula in MapleStory. Get rid of that 0.01*LUK thing. If people can't add up their weapon attack and divide LUK over it, they probably won't understand the rest of the guide, either.
Simplifyyyyy:
Your damage is a product of two values: x * y
x = weapon attack (low when compared to B at high levels)
y = stats (very high at high levels)
If you increase y, you will be adding little damage because it is being multiplied by a small number. If you increase x, you will be multiplying it by the higher number.
