okokok, so with the Morroc equip set they mentioned, it's:
+9 Lunakaligo with 3 AK cards:
163 atk from weapon and refine, +75% damage from cards, and +0 sp from the weapon
+9 LBW with 2 AK cards:
153atk from weapon and refine, +50% damage from cards, and
+390 SP from the weapon (still 390 and not 300 because of the 30% sp increase from morph shawl and variant shoes)
[I dont include the added 6% atk from diabolous robe + diabolous ring combo and +9 maiden's hat because the difference it makes between 163atk Luna and 153atk LBW is still less than 1 full atk point]
And the result is:
~DRAMATIC REALITY TV PAUSE OF SUSPENSE~
Yes, you're right, the +9 Triple Liberation Lunakaligo does an extra 1657 damage with these equip and a typical asura build.
But when using the much more easily attainable morph set build I mentioned earlier, the +9lbw is best for MVPing. So until heRO can get its hands on Diabolous stuff and put a phen card in a Diabolous ring (I'm talking about MVPing so uninterruptable cast is still essential
), the classic morph set + lbw is still best
...not to mention putting yourself through the excruciating boredom and repetition of farming ONE MORE AK CARD for a 1600+ damage difference, which means using up an item you could sell for about 65m zeny, is INSANE @_@
...and as a side note, even though my Champ wears some really fruity colors (gotta justify wasting that gold on the Zodiac Palette -_-; ) the Maiden's Hat is still wayyyyyy too girly for him to feel comfortable in.
So in conclusion, you are correct, but with a lot of H0WEV3RZZOMGZNO.
