AC is important too.
Any gunner needs to balance their AC/LK well, and have (if you can afford it lulz) two sets of equips for different opponents. LK for mages/other Sense types, and AC for Charms/Powers.
You don't need LK when facing these types of people, only AC to counter their HV, so think about that too.
Lions (even pures) can easily out-LK mages in my opinion, or just be able to kill them faster. So your only worry will be hybrids and maybe foxes. But here's the catching: going pure LK inevitably nerfs your AC, leading to weaker damage on buffalos/bunnies/coons/cats, not to mention tank mages.
Is it really worth it? I'm not so sure.
I'm a 2:1 MA:LK mage, but that's because I'm a mage... I need the LK for a wide range of opponents, and only very little MA to kill Powers/disable Charms.
