Buff LUK mages

LUK mages are how mages were designed to be played. Wizet designed the equips around the idea that Mages would have LUK. Back when I played GMS 10 years ago, I saw quite a few LUK mages around. LUK mages are nostalgic. LUK mages provide an alternative playstyle for people to mess around with. Maple Legends needs to keep people's attention, because a server without players is not fun for anybody. Giving people a new way to build their character keeps people around.

LUKless mage is strictly better than LUK mage. Why? Because LUK gives nothing except avoidability (useless) and the ability to wear LUK equips. 1 point of INT gives 1 magic attack, more MP per level, and accuracy on magic attacks. Let's look at the highest level staff in the game, which is a LUK staff. I am talking about the highest tier of Elemental Staff. To find it's magic attack, the formula is like this: (Weapon INT + weapon magic attack) - required LUK. This is because LUK does nothing. Every point of LUK is a point wasted, a point which could've been spent on INT. The best LUK staff in the game gives about as much magic attack as a level 8 wand. This is bad. This is punishing for people who want to play LUK mages.

The highest amount of INT which can be gained from LUK mage overalls, shoes, and gloves is around 20 before being scrolled. This requires around 90 LUK. This means 70 wasted points of LUK.

I don't want LUK mages to be better than LUKless mages. I want LUK mages to be viable. I want to narrow the gap between LUK mages and LUKless mages so that LUK mage is a viable alternative playstyle without upsetting the current metagame. Ideally, a buff would make LUK mages do about 85% as much damage as a LUKless mages. LUK mages would still not have nearly as much MP as LUKless mages and would not benefit as much from Maple Warrior. They would still be sub-optimal, but a funded LUK mage would be able to surpass unfunded LUKless mages.

Here are some ideas for buffing LUK mages without significantly changing equips or abilities:
* Make skills somehow scale on LUK, so that 3 LUK = ~1.5 INT.
* Give mages the ability to crit on spells somehow, and make crit chance and damage scale on LUK, capping at ~60% crit chance. This would be cool, funny, and a bit different, but some may find it it too "chocolate-y" and non-vanilla.

There is another option, given by some other pservers: LUK stat requirements could be removed from all equips. I feel that this is a bad option because it buffs LUKless mages, decreases the value of INT robes, and messes up people who already have scrolled gear or LUK builds. It's also chocolate-y in a weird way because it significantly changes equipments and power curves in a way which my suggestion would not.
