This is a very outdated belief. Before we had HT, we thought it'd be possible to keep taking the rock damage (2k) to avoid being hit. That theory has long been proven false and impossible. Anyone who has HTed before would know even if you sit under the rocks, you still get hit by the magic attacks about half half (rock dmg, attack dmg, rock dmg, etc). Sometimes the rock damage doesn't even come in between two attacks. Regardless, sitting under the rocks is only a last resort chance at survival. If you try surviving under them for an extended period of time, you will die (if you can't take the magic damage).
The more HP gear you have to wear, the less helpful you are. If you have to deck yourself out in several pieces of HP gear, why are you even in HT? Under 16x, Bowman are already not very great in HT. Under 15x and you should not even be there. HT groups already have the good Bowman and rarely need new ones (at least in Bera), especially since new Bowman have to be broken in and get used to how the battle goes.
If you want to HT without HP gear, you need to wash to be able to do so by 16x. It's the only way. Otherwise, you're going to be worthless or have to wait until 17x-18x. Yes, you probably will get your Pendant and Egg if you know some people in HT groups. But unless you get high leveled, it's highly unlikely you'll be needed/helpful to any group.
