Luck is shit and virtually useless in 99.9 percent of games but because it was OP in Fallout 2 and Ragnarok we'll never hear the end from Luck cucks

Souls games have dozens of weapons that scale of Strength and Dexterity and maybe 2 that scale off Luck, why do you think this is? Because Miyazaki recognizes that Luck is a completely useless stat that is pretty much filler

It sounds like someone isn't balancing out their stats enough to reap the benefits of high luck.

ITT: Every single RPG utilizes the Luck stat, if it even exists in the first place, with the very same mechanics and calculations.

Luck isn't a useless stat. It is relevant, mostly only if you build your entire character around it, though. In RPGs, either you are good at shit, or you are a lucky, lucky bastard.
