Luck is a stat, but it's not like strength. It fluctuates, for one. It's +'s and -'s aren't instant, or even consistent as it does fluctuate. I would say it is closer to hitgain.

Perk question
Lets get to the fact that pious doesnt cut recall lag 50% like it says.
I haven't sat down with a stopwatch to verify, but I'm certain it does.

Are you 100% sure it doesn't?
Personally, I've always sworn by having at least one piece of +luck eq for a character that doesn't have the Lucky perk, and I've survived a lot of nonsense by the skin of my teeth on those high-luck characters - bash lag fading at just the right time to flee and heal my paladins, firestorms exploding more regularly for invokers, etc. I've got nothing approaching a statistically useful objective analysis, naturally, but I've got sufficient anecdotes that I always try to make sure to keep my luck high all the same as it has seemed to work well so far - and using one or two eq slots to do so isn't much of a sacrifice. As @Celerity pointed out, it's just trading a few points here for a few points there.
@Manual Labour, @Unknown Criminal, can we please avoid the "thick in the head" and "try reading" comments? You both often make good points worthy of discussion, and I'd rather they not be overshadowed by antagonism or frustration.
Am I the only one that doesn't pay attention to it? lol
The only +luck item I know about is the warped skull, I think lol.

I don't really notice either. I just know there's a ton out there. Taking a quick look through my notepad: Rod of Light, Obsidian Culet, Fate Generator. Hell, those three alone are +12. Add in a veil, sparkler and two ornate copper rings and you've got yourself +18 luck.

There's a meaning to luck?

Apparently..
I just get as much hit/dam as possible and hope my enemy dies before I do.. Seems to work out well for me, lol.
Foxx probably refuses to fight without Lady Luck on his side
Yep.
Gotta have every edge possible.
