    in conclusion, str bandits are for the strong and patient at heart.
    these topics regarding str and luk bandits are annoying sometimes.

    LUK will do more min and max damage than STR at a higher level. But STR daggers are cheaper, and sexier, imo.

    What happened to the big Luk VS Str debate we had like a month ago? I can't find it anymore. =/ We should sticky that one.

    Both are good, but STR Bandits are more often put down.

    And everyone always forgets that the level 50, 60, 70, daggers have 3 more attack, and the level 90 dagger has 2 more attack. And I've heard that the speed of str daggers is still slightly faster.

    Just to see if anyone would really care, I'm working on a mathematical comparison of STR vs. LUK (vs.dexless for those who care). Would anyone care to see this?

    BTW, I'm a STR 'dit

    The mathematical comparisons have already been done, countless times. In a quick summary, eventually that extra attack Str Daggers have will be outdamaged by the high Luk advantage Luk Bandits have. And this difference will only continue to get higher as both Bandits level.

    Here's a nice chart you can look at.

    while an example of sb from a str dit would be 425,550,575,600,625,650

    low lvl str dits are indeed VERY weak compared to luk, i switched from luk to str at lvl 45, and im not regretting it

    once u hit high levels the dmg equals out, the ONLY reason that ppl thin luk bandits do higher dmg is cuz their sb mite carry...oh lets say max of 3hits of high dmg? and the rest are low thats because luk has no stability while str has a very small range in dmg, thats because their dmg is a lot more stabilized, but in the end it evens out, add up the dmg urself, cuz thats really how it is =/ str dits are also faster and cheaper and weapons have higher atk, and also look better =) at lvl 35 i had a kfan 64atk, luk+6 wep def1, 50 ill be using a sai atk80, luk+8, and forgot the wep def -.- so with the scrolled weapons the total dmg by my sb can equal/top a luk bandits sb, even if his/her weapon is scrolled
    GTFO

    Luck bandit stats = 4/110/4/257
    Strength bandit stats = 55/110/4/206

    Luck bandit
    Minimum Damage: 472
    Maximum Damage: 800
    Average damage = (636 times .8) times 6 = 3052 per savage blow

    Strength bandit
    Minimum Damage: 452
    Maximum Damage: 725
    Average damage = (588.5 times .8) times 6 = 2824 per savage blow


    228 damage difference isn't equaling out last I heard.

    The only advantage a strength bandit ever carried was in his wallet.
    hmm nice stats ther, the only thing wrong is that LUK BANDITS DONT HIT THE AVERAGE EVERYTIME, they hit several high dmgs then the rest are low...learn to do math u nub, and dont tell me to gtfo, get a life

    Bandits, regardless of stat build, don't hit the average everytime. They both hit several high damages and low ones as well. I really don't see your point here.

    It's a fact - luk dits are stronger than str dits...at high lvls. A similar topic came out in the official maplesea forum (more experienced players) and some guy used calculus to prove this fact. Emphasis: fact.
    But...str dits are cheaper, have cooler daggers, easier to train before 3rd job, more stable dmg
    Bottom line: Luk and Str dits are equal with no clear winner..if not what's the point of maple making str dits(dagger) in the 1st place?

    pls...no need to call others nub, they're just overzealous in expressing their thoughts, and u're only lvl47...
    Btw, i hav a lvl51 luk bandit..and i feel nub. :cry:
