Dual Blade stats/skills -an overview (wafflecopterz)

Figure I'd get this place started with something everyone is googling with no avail. Trust me, I was there.

Stats

There are 3 Basic schools of thought, then they way I'm playing.

1. 2 Luck / 1 Dex per level
-Is the most logical approach, but I find it a bit lacking in the mid sections of the game.

2. All Luck
-Full damage, low defensive capability. Not recommended unless you got a lot of $$ and wanna see big damage numbers throughout the game while dousing yourself in potions.

3. 1 Str / 1 Dex / 4 Luck (Per every 2 levels)
-Higher than average health, OK defense, same luck/damage as 2Luk/1Dex build.
-This one is funky but I saw it on a japanese guide site for the game, figured I'd include it.

4. 6 Luck / 4 Dex
-Stand back, this one involves maaaath. Basically pumping up the defense while keeping up decently with the damage.
-I personally prefer this because it lets me take more damage so I can auto-attack train in higher level places while I sleep/afk.

Here's a japanese guide with terrible english, you'll need Google Translate: https://www.dopr.net/maplestorypocket/dbsta

Hope this helps people looking for some actual answers! I will edit this if people have good suggestions/builds.
