[color="#cc8899"]I still laugh at ranged people who are too proud to put points into HP (not washing, just put them in) and then complain about said lack of HP. By 140-150 you already have insane DPS, it won't kill you to put in more HP.
I had over 40 points unwashed (until I had a stable income), and was fully prepared to keep them that way until I could afford to wash it out. I also STILL have 77 base DEX for the acc boost, despite having 194 acc without a maple weapon. Yes, I could be stronger. Does it matter? Not by much - in the end it's only a fragment of my damage that will be affected, and even then it won't impact my exp gain or boss killing time much at all (unless it means the difference between # of hits to kill on Crimson Guardians. Currently this number is 4-6, 90% or so of the time 5, the other 10 an even split between 4/6. That would mean I'd need a guaranteed 40k minimum Fury to always 4 hit, and that ain't happening for a long time. I'd need a guaranteed 30k minimum to 90% 4 hit, and even that would require at least 10 levels or 7-8 attack to happen. I could wash my DEX to 50-60, lowering my acc to around 175-180, but that's only 5 levels of difference + 2.5 extra points from MW).
TLDR: If you are lacking in a stat, add to it. If adding doesn't help enough, gear for it. Should be easy to gain at least 90 HP from advanced Topaz on boots/overall/weapon for Archers. [/COLOR]
