Luk:WA Ratio [Thieves]

[A Rusty Nail]

So, this is a question, or debate, or whatever...

I just want to see what people think.

How much Luck does it take to equal ONE (1) Weapon Attack?

This is for Thieves of course.

I believe it to be 2 Luk = 1 Weapon Attack, but I'm not entirely sure.

(goes to use HS' damage calculator)

well

all i can say is this
i scrolled my nimble shield with sheild att scrolls. when it was 4 att 3str
my range was higher then my 14luk seclusion shield  

[A Rusty Nail]

Hm...

That makes it difficult.

Now I'm thinking 3 luk = 1 wa, but then again, there is strength added into there on that shield.

Okay, so using Hidden-Streets.com and its damage calculator, I took the stats of a level 15 Thief.

LEVEL 15
04 STR
30 DEX
04 INT
57 LUK

We shall say he has a Level 15 Field Dagger equipped.
Field Dagger has a Weapon Attack of 30.

With those stats:
Minimum Damage: 15
Maximum Damage: 71
According to Hidden-Street.

Now, let us up the Weapon Attack by 1.

04 STR
30 DEX
04 INT
57 LUK
31 WA

Minimum Damage: 16
Maximum Damage: 74

Now, let us lower the WA back to 30, and add to LUK until we hit numbers approx. of what you just read.

58 LUK
Minimum Damage: 15
Maximum Damage: 72

59 LUK
Minimum Damage: 15
Maximum Damage: 73

60 LUK
Minimum Damage: 16
Maximum Damage: 75

So, it took 3 LUK to match 1 WA, but then again, the Max Damage is one higher.

As scientists do, they repeat experiments.
Well continue from the current stat of LUK, even though a level 15 would not have 60 LUK, unless he didn't have 30 DEX, or had scrolled equips.

04 STR
30 DEX
04 INT
60 LUK
30 WA
Minimum Damage: 16
Maximum Damage: 75

31 WA
Minimum Damage: 16
Maximum Damage: 77

Now, drop back down to 30 WA, and up LUK by 1.

61 LUK
30 WA
Minimum Damage: 16
Maximum Damage: 76 (Max increased by 1, with 1 more LUK)

62 LUK
30 WA
Minimum Damage: 16
Maximum Damage: 77 (Increased another 1, with 1 LUK, matching exactly what 60 LUK, 31 WA was)
Took 2 LUK to match 1 WA.

So it's different.

Scientists would continue experimentation, but I don't feel like creating a larger page stretcher.

We can say 2~3 LUK = 1 Weapon Attack.

The Average from this result would be 2.5 = 1.

Of course, I have forgotten that at one time, the Max Damage was one higher, but I'm to lazy to test this further.

It depends on the weapon, and I think the level or higher luk/attack levels changes the formula too.

Most of the time, it seems 4-6 of a 'main' stat = 1 Weapon Attack (Not counting INT for MA). My DK has about 1 att = 5.5 STR.

I haven't checked it on my Hermit much, but the damage range is different with claws because their skills work different.  

[A Rusty Nail]

I see.

I'll have to experiment with higher level stats then, and try in game somehow...

luk / weapon attack, if i remember correctly.

lets say you have 60 weapon attack and 400 luk. 400 / 60 = 6.6.

so it all depends on your stats.
