Unwashed ranged classes are a waste of time?

Why does the washed bowman have more damage? I'd defintely take a higher level more skilled bowman over a lower levelled one that had more HP.

I think he means if the higher lvl one blooded rather than washed, therefore is missing points in DEX. provided they have similarly scrolled gear, this could hold true...


BUT

I've never EVER seen a zak or HT group ask how strong a character is. They only look for 2 things: lvl, and enough HP to survive. If you're a 16x MM/BM that blooded, so you have enough HP to go, I really doubt anyone is going to question your abilities. Hell, you probably don't even have to tell them you blooded if you really think it's going to make them think less of you.
