LUK is only used for the Mage as a requirement to wear most Mage-specific equipment, with the usual requirement of LUK being 3 points above the equipment's level.  When you get to lvl ten make sure your LUK is 13.  You can put 1 AP in LUK and 4 AP in INT each time you level, or all 5 in INT and at every 5th level put all 5 AP into LUK.  Some people choose to cap their LUK around 85.  Higher LUK allows you to use a higher level Staff and the higher Magic Attack should more than make up for the lower INT, but that will depend on you other equipment stats.

INT is the Mage's main damage stat. It's used to increase the character's Magic Attack.  Also, it increases the Magic Defense of the character.  All AP points not spent on LUK should be put in INT, as the other stats do not help Magicians AT ALL!
LUKless was common before Big Bang and some still do this.  It mean keeping LUK at the minimum 4 AP along with STR and DEX.  The character will need to get LUK from equipments which can be costly and potentially prevent you from using a higher level staff.  It's impossible to say this will make you stronger as that will depend on funding and availability of high quality equipment.
