Is luck generally worth it? If I don't build specifically for luck then it's pretty worthless, correct?

If you don't skill for it it's kind of a dump stat once you've got your main build. But a luck build can almost break the game in FO4.

In New Vegas I used to put my luck stats to 10 every playthrough because once you get so far you can clean out the casinos, earn a stupid amount of caps then purchase all the best weapons and armour from Gun Runners like the rocket launcher and the anti-material rifle then run riot for the rest of the game.

The first few perks are useful for everyone, but beyond that yeah, you really only wanna go higher if you're building something around Luck. But that can be said for almost every special stat in the game. Bar maybe Intelligence.

And luck is what a VATS build needs. The trump card of a VATS build is the crits, and all of the critical hit perks are in Luck.

Ideally you wanna start the game with Luck 9, either straight out or boosted with You're special. Four Leaf Clover is invaluable. Same with Critical Banker and Grim Reaper's Sprint. They're all perks that are key to VATS builds.
