Dual Blade range estimate

I'm probably going to convert from phantom to DB, I just wanted to get some opinions on how DB's compare with phantoms from people who have both.
I'll probably be able to get my hands on a 217 att baselard and a 166 katara, with probably somewhere like ~620 att and 160%luk.
I know DB's have low ranges in comparison to phantoms, so I was just wondering.
Could anyone help me out on what range I could expect with these equips and how much damage I'd do compared to a phantom with say the same funding?

Level 197 999 base luk, 185% luk, 195 att vip dagger, 138 att vip katara, range goes from 105k unbuffed to 130k self buffed (with MW30)... plus i also have additional pendant slot, time traveller medal, potted shoulder. So rough estimate would be around the same i'm sure. Possibly only up to 125k. Still on most bosses i hit cap with FC.

[quote=ExiaNick]I love how all these people are just saying numbers. You have yet to tell us at what level these equips will be used and how much base dex/luk you will have or the blessing of the fairy lvl and what lvl your Mw is or what skills you will have maxed for their %att there is a rather large difference from lvl 140-lvl 200 in ranges, you didn't say if it was final range or right at when you are able to equip your endgame weps. So without knowing everything i have stated no one here has a clue to what your range will be and are just spouting nonsense.[/quote]

They're assuming, level 200, 999 base LUK, a "standard" build, maybe MW30. But that's why the numbers vary slightly.

That's probably around 175k range self buffed (if you have mw30). If you have like at least 75% boss you should easily do max on most bosses.

At least a 120k buffed range

I'd say... that's around 130~150k buffed max range
